Take My Breath Away

Written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock
Performed by Berlin

Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean, finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching, I keep waiting, still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

My love
Take my breath away

Through the hourglass, I saw you
Each time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed, I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today, I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn my way and say

Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love, take my breath away

Hold My Hand

Written by Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, Darius Rucker and Jim Sonefeld
Performed by Hootie and the Blowfish

With a little love, and some tenderness
We’ll walk upon the water
We’ll rise above the mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
We’ll take the world together
We’ll take ’em by the hand

‘Cause I’ve got a hand for you
‘Cause I wanna run with you

Yesterday
I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair

I said get up, and let me see you smile
We’ll take a walk together
Walk the road awhile

‘Cause I’ve got a hand for you
I’ve got a hand for you
‘Cause I wanna run with you
Won’t you let me run with you? yeah
Hold my Hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my Hand
I’ll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my Hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can

See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
‘Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I don’t wanna be part of your problems
Don’t wanna be part of your crowd, no

‘Cause I’ve got a hand for you
I’ve got a hand for you
‘Cause I wanna run with you
Ah, won’t you let me run with you?

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I’ll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can’t change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I’ll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I… oh… no, no, no, no,no

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I’ll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can’t change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can
Oh, the best that I can

The Rubberband Man

Written by Linda Creed and Thomas Randolph Bell
Performed by The Spinners

Hand me down my walkin' cane, hand me down my hat
Hurry now and don't be late 'cause we ain't got time to chat
You and me, we're goin' out to catch the latest sounds
Guaranteed to blow your mind so high, you won't come down, no

Hey, y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband starts to jam

Oh Lord, this dude is outta sight
Everything he does seems to come out right

Once I went to hear them play at a club outside of town
I was so surprised, I was hypnotized by the sound these cats put down
When I saw this short, fat guy stretch a band between his toes
Hey, I laughed so hard 'cause the man got down
When it finally reached his nose

Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man (whoa)
You've never heard a sound like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband starts to jam

Got that rubberband up on his toes
And then he wriggled it up all around his nose

Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Playin' all that music yet keepin' time
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Where in the world did he learn that? Oh, Lord
Oh, help him get away

Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband starts to jam

Rubberband Man, Rubberband Man, uh
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
How much of this stuff, do he thinks we can stand? Uh
So much rhythm, grace and debonair for one man, Lord
And then he had the nerve to wiggle his left toe
To his knee got the feelin' in his head, y'all, ah, come on, baby

Hey, you all prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband starts to jam

Rubberband man starts to jam
Movin' up and down across the land
Got people all in his ways
Everything about him seems outta place

Just move it, just move it, just move, move, move it, just
Rubberband, rubberband man
Just move it, just move it, just move, move, move it, just
Rubberband, rubberband man
Get down, oh, get down, lover

If You Believe

Written by Kenny Loggins and Steve Wood
Performed by Kenny Loggins

Dove rise and fly
Over me to the sea
Love hears her cry
Wait for me, wait for me

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be
We want the world
You've only dreamed of
The promise of our seasons
Give us the future, please
That's all we need of you

Running in circles
Desperate we hold
To yours and mine
Using our bodies
Closing our hearts and eyes

But, oh no, open the door
And let the wind blow
Take my hand
Together we stand
In the eye of the hurricane

Every nation
Every woman, child and man
Comes on a moment
Where they must
Take a stand

Then, oh no, forget what you know
Just let the wind blow
And blown apart
You open your heart
And that's when anything can be

Out of control
Out of my mind at last
Into my dreams
We sail away

Whoa, sing it children
(If you believe in me)
Got to believe
(I will believe in what will be)
Tell 'em what you want
(We want the world
You've only dreamed of)
World you've only dreamed of
(The promise of our seasons)
(Give us the future please)
(That's all we need of you)
That's all we ever really need
Everybody in the world
Every boy and girl

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be
(Everybody listen)
We want the world
You've only dreamed of
The promise of our seasons
Give us the future please
That's all we need of you

You got to believe

If you believe in me
I will believe
If you believe in me
I will believe
If you believe in me
I will believe
If you believe in me
I will believe

I'll Be There For You

Written by Allee Willis, Danny C Wilde, David L Crane, Marta Fran Kauffman, Michael Jay Skloff and Philip Ronald Solem
Performed by The Rembrandts

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke
Your love life's DOA
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten
And work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast
So far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Written by James Richard Steinman
Performed by Bonnie Tyler

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming 'round
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes) every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes) every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes) every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight (and I need you now)
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight (if you only)
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right (and we'll never)
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around, bright eyes

Witchy Woman

Written by Don Henley and Bernie Leadon
Performed by The Eagles


Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight

Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

She held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon

Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

Well, I know you want a lover
Let me tell you, brother
She's been sleeping in the devil's bed
And there's some rumors going round, someone's underground
She can rock you in the night-time 'til your skin turns red

Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

The Real Thing

Written by David Foster and Kenny Loggins
Performed by Kenny Loggins

Amanda, I know what you're thinking,
You and I have much to say,
And you've been making me crazy,
Trying to understand
But it's impossible at your age.

I know I said I'll always try,
But you're going to bed alone again tonight,
And you lie there in the dark and wonder why.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because I still believe,
There's only one thing,
You can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that's the real thing you need in love.

You're so afraid your life is over,
And nothing I can say can change your mind.
How can anybody be so selfish,
And treat you all so cruel,
The woman screamed at me and cried.
I'll always hold you in my soul,
And I'm never going to leave you all alone
But your daddy doesn't live here anymore.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because I still believe,
There's only one thing,
That you can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that's the real thing you need in love.

Everybody's got a boat upon the ocean,
Not everybody's sailing out to sea,
And is there someone there for me?
I'm ready to believe.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because I still believe,
There's only one thing,
That you can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that's the real thing you need in love.

Summer Breeze

Written by Jim Seals and Dash Crofts
Performed by Seals and Crofts


See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything's all right

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind

See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waiting there
Not a care in the world

See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
Through cookin' and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind

Train In The Distance

Written by Paul Simon
Performed by Paul Simon

She was beautiful as southern skies the night he met her
She was married to someone
He was doggedly determined that he would get her
He was old she was young

From time to time
He'd tip his heart
But each time she withdrew
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true

Well eventually the boy and the girl get married
Sure enough they have a son
And though they were both occupied with the child she carried
Disagreements had begun

And in a while
They fell apart
It wasn't hard to do
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true

Two disappointed believers
Two people playing the game
Negotiations and love songs
Are often mistaken for one and the same

Now the man and the woman they remain in contact
Let us say it's for the child
With disagreements about the meaning of a marriage contract
Conversations hard and wild

But from time to time he makes her laugh
She cooks a meal of two
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true

What is the point of this story
What information pertains
The thought that life could be better
Is woven indelibly
Into our hearts and our brains

Let's Hang On

Written by Sanyd Linzer, Denny Randell and Bob Crewe
Performed by The Four Seasons

There ain't no good in our goodbye
True love takes a lot of trying
Ooh, I'm crying

Let's hang on to what we've got
Don't let go, girl, we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on to what we got

You say you're gonna go and call it quits
Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits
(Breaking up) I wish you never said it
(Breaking up) no-no, we'll both regret it

That little chip of diamond on your hand
Ain't a fortune babe, but you know it stands
(For your love) a love to try and bind you
(Such a love) we just can't leave behind us

Baby (don't you go)
Baby (no, no, no)
Baby, think it over and stay-ay

Let's hang on to what we've got
Don't let go, girl, we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on to what we've got

There isn't anything I wouldn't do
I'd pay any price to get in good with you
(Patch it up) give me a second turnin'
(Patch it up) don't cool off while I'm burnin'

You've got me cryin', dyin' at your door
Don't shut me out, let me in once more
(Open up) your arms, I need to hold you
(Open up) your heart, oh girl, I love you

Baby (don't you go)
Baby (oh, no, no, no)
Baby, think it over and stay-ay

Let's hang on to what we've got
Don't let go, girl, we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on to what we've got

Little Red Corvette

Written by Prince Rogers Nelson
Performed by Prince



I guess I should’ve known by the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn’t last
See, you’re the kinda person that believes in makin’ out once
Love ’em and leave ’em fast
I guess I must be dumb ’cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say – “What have I got to lose?”

And honey, I say Little Red Corvette
Baby, you’re much too fast (Oh)
Little Red Corvette
You need a love that’s gonna last

I guess I should’ve closed my eyes when you drove me to the place
Where your horses run free
‘Cause I felt a little ill when I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not, I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say, “Baby, have you got enough gas?”

Oh yeah!

Little Red Corvette
Baby, you’re much too fast
(Yes you are)
Little Red Corvette
You need to find a love that’s gonna last
(Oh, oh)

A body like yours oughta be in jail
‘Cause it’s on the verge of bein’ obscene
Move over, baby, gimme the keys
I’m gonna try to tame your little red love machine

Little Red Corvette
Baby, you’re much too fast
Little Red Corvette
Need to find a love that’s gonna last, hey hey

Little Red Corvette
Honey, you got to slow down (Got to slow down)
Little Red Corvette

Like a Prayer

Written by Patrick Raymond Leonard and Madonna Ciccone
Performed by Madonna

… Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name

… And it feels like home

… When you call my name it's like a little prayer

… I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power

… Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

… I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice

… Feels like flying

… I close my eyes
Oh God I think I'm falling

… Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

… When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power

… Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Like a child
You whisper softly to me

… You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

… Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

… Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

… Your voice can take me there
Like a prayer
Just like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

Oh
Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to,
The distance in your eyes
Oh, no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh, no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper,
Every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh, no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh, no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, dream

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Written by Meredith Wilson
Performed by Michael Buble

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that'll make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door

Sure, it's Christmas once more

I Want to Know What Love Is

Written by Michael Jones
Performed by Foreigner

I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
(Whoa, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

And this mountain, I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
And through the clouds, I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Oh, oh-oh, oh (ooh)

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
(I wanna feel) I wanna feel what love is
(I know) I know you can show me

Let's talk about love (I wanna know what love is)
Love that you feel inside (I want you to show me)
I'm feeling so much love (I wanna feel what love is)
Oh, you know, you just can't hide (I know you can show me)

I wanna know what love is (let's talk about love)
I know you can show me
(I wanna feel it too)
I wanna feel what love is (oh, I wanna feel it too)
(And I know, and I know)
I know you can show me (show me love is real, yeah), yeah!

I want you to show me (and I wanna know, I wanna know, wanna know)
I wanna feel what love is (I wanna feel)
I know you can show me

Leader of the Band

Written by Dan Fogelberg
Performed by Dan Fogelberg

An only child
Alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant
For different work
And his heart was known
To none --
He left his home
And went his lone
And solitary way
And he gave to me
A gift I know I never
Can repay

A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love
Through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand.

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band.

My brothers' lives were
Different
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago
And the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well.

I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go --
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And, pap, I don't think I
Said 'I love you' near enough --

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band.

Gypsy

Written by Stevie Nicks
Performed by Fleetwood Mac

So I'm back to the velvet underground
Back to the floor that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was
To the gypsy that I was

And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does and
Lightning strikes maybe once, maybe twice
Oh and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

To the gypsy
That remains
Her face says freedom
With a little fear
I have no fear
Have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love

She is dancing away from you now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And her memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy, oh
You see your gypsy

Ooh ooh, ohh, ohh-oh

Lightning strikes
Maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
Ooh oh, and it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes
Maybe once, maybe twice
And (oh) it all comes down to you
I still see your (your) bright eyes, bright eyes
(And it all comes down to you)

Make It With You

Written by David Gates
Performed by 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, it's 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

Sharing the Night Together

Written by Ava Aldridge and Edward Struzik
Performed by Dr Hook and the Medicine Show

You're looking kinda lonely girl
Would you like someone new to talk to
Ah-yeah, alright
I'm feeling kinda lonely too
If you don't mind, can I sit down here beside you
Ah-yeah, alright

If I seem to come on too strong
I hope that you will understand
I say these things 'cause I'd like to know
If you're as lonely as I am and if you mind

Sharing the night together, oh, yeah
Sharing the night together, oh, yeah
Sharing the night

We could bring in the morning, girl
If you want to go that far
And if tomorrow find us together

Sharing the night together, oh, yeah
Sharing the night

Would you like to dance with me and hold me
You know I want to be holding you
Ah-yeah, alright
'Cause I like feeling like I do
And I see in your eyes that you're liking it, I'm liking it too
Ah yeah, alright

Like to get to know you better
Is there a place where we can go
Where we can be alone together
And turn the lights down low

And start sharing the night together, oh, yeah
Sharing the night together, oh, yeah
Sharing the night together
Sharing the night together

Sharing the night together
Sharing the night together

You Give Love a Bad Name

Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Desmond Child and Richard Sambora
Performed by Bon Jovi

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darling, you give love a bad name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

Whoa, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
Yeah, you give love a bad name

Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Whoa, you're a loaded gun
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
You give love a—

Oh, shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)

You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name

We Got Married

Written by Paul McCartney
Performed by Paul McCartney

Going fast, coming soon
We made love in the afternoon.
Found a flat, after that
We got married.

Working hard for the dream,
Scoring goals for the other team,
Times were bad, we were glad
We got married.

Like the way you open up your hearts to each other,
When you find a meeting of the minds.
Just as well love was all we ever wanted,
It was all we ever had.

Further on in the game,
Waiting up till the children came.
Place your bets, no regrets,
We got married.

We got married.
We got married.
Nowadays every night flashes by
At the speed of light,

Living life, loving wife,
We got married.
I love the things that happen
When we start to discover

Who we are
And what we're living for,
Just because love was
All we ever wanted

It was all we ever had.
It's not just a loving machine,
It doesn't work out
If you don't work at it.

Hand In My Pocket

Written by Glenn Ballard and Alanis Morrisette
Performed by Alanis Morrisette

I'm broke, but I'm happy
I'm poor, but I'm kind
I'm short, but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high, but I'm grounded
I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost, but I'm hopeful, baby

And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is givin' a high five

I feel drunk, but I'm sober
I'm young, and I'm underpaid
I'm tired, but I'm working, yeah
I care, but I'm restless
I'm here, but I'm really gone
I'm wrong, and I'm sorry, baby

And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite all right
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flickin' a cigarette

And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is givin' a peace sign

I'm free, but I'm focused
I'm green, but I'm wise
I'm hard, but I'm friendly, baby
I'm sad, but I'm laughing
I'm brave, but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick, but I'm pretty, baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
Well, I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playin' a piano
And what it all comes down to, my friends, yeah
Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailin' a taxi cab

West End Girls

Written by Christopher Lowe and Neil Tennant
Performed by Pet Shop Boys

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a gun in your hand it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a mad man around
Running down underground
To a dive bar in a West End town

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what? How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it
If so, how often?
Which do you choose
A hard or soft option?
(How much do you need?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
West End girls

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Ooh, West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls

You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'til I get you home
We've got no future
We've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
(How far have you been?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls

West End girls
West End girls
(How far have you been?)

It's Still Rock and Roll to Me

Written by Billy Joel
Performed by Billy Joel

What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
Welcome back to the age of jive

Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound funny
But it's still rock and roll to me

What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
Can't you tell that it's out of style?
Should I get a set of whitewall tires?
Are you gonna cruise the Miracle Mile?

Nowadays, you can't be too sentimental
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental

Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me

Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
'Cause it's always been the same old scene
There's a new band in town, but you can't get the sound
From a story in a magazine
Aimed at your average teen

How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of pants?
Well you could really be a Beau Brummel baby
If you just give it half a chance

Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers
You'd get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers

Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me
(Alright, Richie!)

Woo!
Ooh...

What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
Don't you know that they're out of touch?
Should I try to be a straight 'A' student?
If you are then you think too much

Don't you know about the new fashion, honey?
All ya need are looks and a whole lotta money

It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze
Anyways – it's still rock and roll to me
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound funny
But it's still rock and roll to me

You Learn

Written by Glen Ballard and Alanis Morissette
Performed by Alanis Morissette


Oh, oh, oh

I, recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone, yeah
I, recommend walking around naked in your living room, yeah

Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn, you love you learn
You cry you learn, you lose you learn
You bleed you learn, you scream you learn

I, recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I, recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free

Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn, you love you learn
You cry you learn, you lose you learn
You bleed you learn, you scream you learn

I, I, oh, oh

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually, anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn, you love you learn
You cry you learn, you lose you learn
You bleed you learn, you scream you learn

You grieve you learn, you choke you learn
You laugh you learn, you choose you learn
You pray you learn, you ask you learn
You live you learn

Witchy Woman

Written by Don Henley and Bernie Leadon
Performed by The Eagles


Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight

Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

She held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon

Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

Well, I know you want a lover
Let me tell you, brother
She's been sleeping in the devil's bed
And there's some rumors going round, someone's underground
She can rock you in the night-time 'til your skin turns red

Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

Hey Nineteen

Written by Carl Becker and Jay Fagen
Performed by Steely Dan

Way back when in '67
I was the dandy of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
Where the hell am I?

Hey, nineteen
No, we can't dance together (We can't dance together)
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down

Hey, nineteen
That's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember the Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growin' old

Hey, nineteen
No, we got nothin' common
No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
(Say it again)
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all

Free to Decide

Written by Dolores O'Riordan
Performed by The Cranberries

It's not worth anything more than this at all
I live as I choose or I will not live at all

So, return to where you've come from
Return to where you dwell
Because harassment's not my forte
But you do it very well

I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
At all, at all, at all

You must have nothing more with your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too

So, to hell with what you're thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind

'Cause I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
At all, at all, at all

I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
At all, at all, at all

At all, at all, at all

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Written by Gordon Lightfoot 
Performed by Gordon Lightfoot

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake, they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore, twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early

The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the north wind they'd been feeling?

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too
'Twas the witch of November come stealing
The dawn came late, and the breakfast had to wait
When the gales of November came slashin'
When afternoon came, it was freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
"Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"
At seven p.m., a main hatchway caved in, he said
"Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd put 15 more miles behind her
They might have split up or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and took water
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered

In a musty old hall in Detroit, they prayed
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral
The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake, they call Gitche Gumee
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early

Perfect

Written by Alanis Morisette and Glen Ballard
Performed by Alanis Morisette

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
Make me prouder

How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud

I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem, why are you crying

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect

What About Love

Written by James Douglas Vallance, Brian Raymond Allen and Sheron Elaine Alton
Performed by Heart

I've been lonely, I've been waitin' for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do
The love I'm sendin'
Ain't makin' it through to your heart

You've been hidin', never lettin' it show
Always tryin' to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well on your way to the top
But there's somethin' that you forgot

What about love?
Don't you want someone to care about you?
And what about love?
Don't let it slip away

What about love?
I only want to share it with you
You might need it someday

I can't tell you what you're feelin' inside
And I can't sell you what you don't want to buy
Something's missing, you got to look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right

What about love?
Don't you want someone to care about you?
What about love?
Don't let it slip away
What about love?
I only want to share it with you

What about love?
Don't you want someone to care about you?
What about love?
Don't let it slip away

But what about love?
I only want to share it with you
Oh no
Ohh ohh, oh what about love?

Yeah
Ooh ooh hoo
What about love?
Love, love, love
What about, what about love?
Ooh hoo hoo hoo

Easy Lover

Written by Nathan East, Phil Collins and Phillip James Bailey
Performed by Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey

Easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh, you'll regret it

No, you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh

She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

You're the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
Better forget it
You'll never get it
Oh, she'll say that there's no other
'Til she finds another
Better forget it
Oh, you'll regret it

And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, ooh, seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh

Now don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh

She's an easy lover (she's a easy lover)
She'll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you)
She's like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees (you'll be down on your knees)
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it)
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see, yeah)

And like no other

She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it

Edge of Seventeen

Written by Stevie Nicks
Performed by Stevie Nicks

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

And the days go by, like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own, I begin again
Said to my friend, baby (everything stopped)
Nothin' else mattered

He was no more than a baby then
Well he seemed broken-hearted
Something within him
But the moment that I first laid
Eyes on him, all alone
On the edge of seventeen

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Well, I went today
Maybe I will go again tomorrow
Yeah yeah, well, the music there
Well, it was hauntingly familiar
Well, I see you doing what I try to do for me
With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir
And a melody, and nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

The clouds never expect it when it rains
But the sea changes colours
But the sea does not change
So with the slow, graceful flow of age
I went forth with an age old desire to please
On the edge of seventeen

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Well, then suddenly there was no one
Left standing in the hall, yeah, yeah
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all

Well, I went searchin' for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
And not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird singing, "Come away"
(Come away, come away)

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Well I hear you in the morning
And I hear you at nightfall
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to feel you, my love
I'm a few years older than you
(I'm a few years older than you) my love

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Diamond Girl

Written by Jimmy Seals and Darrell Crofts
Performed by Seals and Crofts

Diamond girl
You sure do shine
Glad I found you
Glad you're mine

Oh, my love, you're like a precious stone
Part of Earth where Heaven has rained on
Makes no difference where you are
Day or nighttime, you're like a shinin' star

How could I shine without you
When it's about you that I am?

Diamond girl
Roamin' wild
Such a rare thing
Radiant child

I could never find another one like you
Part of me is deep down inside you
And can't you feel the whole world is turnin'?
We are real, and we are burnin', hey

Diamond girl, now that I've found you
Well, it's about you that I am

Diamond girl
You sure do shine
Diamond girl
You sure do shine

Diamond girl
You sure do shine
Diamond girl
You sure do shine

If I Could Turn Back Time

Written by Diane Eve Warren
Performed by Cher

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay

I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes

I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry, but baby

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you and you'd stay
If I could reach the stars, I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me like you used to do
(If I could turn back time)

My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door, I swore that I didn't care
But I lost every thing, darlin', then and there

Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and darlin'

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you and you'd stay
If I could reach the stars, I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me like you used to do, ohh

If I could turn back time (if I could turn back time)
If I could turn back time (if I could turn back time)
If I could turn back time, oh, baby

I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But ohh

If I could turn back time
And if I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
If I could reach the stars, I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me like you used to do

If I could turn back time (turn back time)
If I could find a way (find a way)
Then maybe, maybe, maybe you'd stay (reach the stars)

Cloudy

Written by Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley
Performed by Simon and Garfunkel

Cloudy
The sky is gray and white and cloudy
Sometimes I think it's hanging down on me
And it's a hitchhike a hundred miles

I'm a ragamuffin child
Pointed finger, painted smile
I left my shadow waitin' down the road for me a while

Cloudy
My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy
They have no borders, no boundaries

They echo and they swell
From Tolstoy to Tinker Bell
Down from Berkeley to Carmel
Got some pictures in my pocket and a lot of time to kill

Hey, sunshine
I haven't seen you in a long time
Why don't you show your face and bend my mind?

These clouds stick to the sky
Like a floating question, "Why?"
They linger there to die
They don't know where they're going and, my friend, neither do I

Cloudy

And I Love Her

Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Performed The Beatles

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her

She gives my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her, mm

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John
Performed by Elton John


When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owls
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

What do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owls
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

Major Tom (Coming Home)

Written by Peter Schilling and Oliver Groenewald
Performed by Peter Schilling

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting


All systems are go, "Are you sure?
Control is not convinced, but the computer
Has the evidence, no need to abort
The countdown starts

Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
Nothing left to chance, all is working
Trying to relax up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink," jokes Major Tom

Four, three, two, one

Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless, calling, calling home

Second stage is cut, we′re now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect requested data
"What will it affect when all is done?"
Thinks Major Tom

Back at Ground Control, there is a problem
"Go to rockets full," not responding
"Hello, Major Tom, are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by
There′s no reply

Four, three, two, one

Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless, calling, calling home

Across the stratosphere, a final message
"Give my wife my love," then nothing more
Far beneath the ship the world is mourning
They don't realize he's alive
No one understands, but Major Tom sees
"Now the light commands, this is my home
I'm coming home"

Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless, coming home
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless, coming home
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless, coming, coming home

A Different Corner

Written by George Michael
Performed by George Michael


I'd say love was a magical flame
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there

I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare, no I don't dare

'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared, I'm so scared

Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care

I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
Little by little you've brought me to my knees

Don't you care
No I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love

And if all that there is, is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

Live and Learn

Written by Ciaran Marion Brennan
Performed by Clint Black

I've tried livin' it risky, relied on women and whiskey
To chase my blues, turn my nights to days
First rage only a pastime, with age more than a lifetime
Day in, day out the world just turns away

But everybody knows you live and you learn
But the lessons just go on and on
I guess we're gonna have to wait for all the pages to turn
To find out if it's right or if it's wrong, you live and learn

I've stopped lookin' for questions, I've got only suggestions
Black and white can only turn to grey
In time we're all gonna find out our times all gonna wind out
And just count down until that judgement day

But everybody knows you live and you learn
But the lessons just go on and on and on
I guess we're gonna have to wait for all the pages to turn
To find out if it's right or if it's wrong, you live and learn, you live and learn

Sowing the Seeds of Love

Written by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith
Performed by Tears for Fears



High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man
And the love train rides from coast to coast
D.j.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 it the blues

And anything is possible when you're sowing the seeds of love
Anything is possible - sowing the seeds of love

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 grannie with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So without love and a promise land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan
Kick out the style! bring back the jam!

Anything...
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 - read about it, read about it
Read in the books in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read
Chorus!

(Mr. England sowing the seeds of love)

Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man
And the love train rides from coast to coast
Every minute of every hour - I love a sunflower
And I believe in love power, love power, love power !!!

Sowing the seeds
An end to need
And the politics of greed

With love
