Do You Wanna Dance?
Fleetwood Mac

Do you do you do you do you wanna dance
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance

Do you do you do you do you wanna dance
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance

Do you wanna dance under the moonlight
Kiss me baby all through the night
Oh baby do you wanna dance

Do you wanna dance and hold me tight
Kiss me baby all through the night
Oh baby do you wanna dance

Dear God by XTC

Dear God,
I Hope you got the letter and
I pray that you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer.
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God.
I Can't believe in you.

Dear God,
Sorry to disturb you but,
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amounts of
tears.
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet
About God.
Can't believe in you.

Did you make disease
And the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind
After we made you?
And the Devil too...

Dear God,
Don't know if you've noticed but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this Book.
Us crazy humans wrote it; you should take a look.
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believin' that junk is true.
Well, I know it ain't and so do you,
Dear God.

I can't believe in...
I don't believe in...

I won't believe in Heaven and Hell,
No saints, no sinners, no Devil as well,
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You're always lettin' us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown,
Those lost at sea and never found.
And it's the same the whole world 'round,
The hurt I see helps to compound
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax.
And if you're up there, you perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve.
If there's one thing I don't believe in...

It's you,
Dear God.

Find Myself
by Eric Clapton

We took the long way home, you held my hand,
The days so full of all the things we had planned.
We walked beyond the green, beyond the day.
We shared a dream that I let slip away.


I had to find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.


You were the man who knew too much to say.
So many things that I learned came your way.
These things I know that I can't forget,
Deep in my heart, they're a part of me yet.


They helped me find myself.
They helped me find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.


Too many years rolled by without a word.
I tried to hide behind things that I'd heard.
And now the truth is clear for all to see
That through it all, it was you believed in me.


You helped me find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.


I got to find myself.
I got to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.

Iona - Open Sky

There's a tree in my garden
Tall and dark with countless leaves
And it whispers in the air
And it dances in the breeze
And it sways in the storm
But its hold is strong

And like the hope
That's come my way
And turns me round
To face the sky
The rhythm of this world
The gift of life
The essence that can never die

By a river crystal bright
There's a tree where waters flow
Leaves that fall for our healing
Scattered on the world below
Where angels dance
And the people sing

And like the hope
That's come my way
And turns me round
To face the sky
The rhythm of this world
The gift of life
The essence that can never die

Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him

Every man has a woman who loves him
In rain or shine or life or death
If he finds her in this life time
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast

Why do I roam when I know you're the one
Why do I laugh when I feel like crying

Every woman has a man who loves her
Rise or fall of her life and death
If she finds him in this life time
She will know when she looks into his eyes

Why do I roam when I know you're the one
Why do I run when I feel like holding you

Every man has a woman who loves him
If he finds her in this life time
He will know

nine inch nails, somewhat damaged.

so impressed with all you do
tried so hard to be like you
flew too high and burnt the wing
lost my faith in everything

lick around divine debris
taste the wealth of hate in me
shedding skin succumb defeat
this machine is obsolete

made the choice to go away
drink the fountain of decay
tear a hole exquisite red
f*ck the rest and stab it dead

broken bruised forgotten sore
too f*cked up to care anymore
poisoned to my rotten core
too f*cked up to care anymore

in the back off the side far away is a place where i hide where i
stay tried to say tried to ask i needed to all alone by myself where
were you?
how could i ever think it's funny how everything that
swore it wouldn't change is different now just like you
would always say we'll make it through then my head fell apart
and where were you?
how could i ever think it's funny how everything you swore would
never change is different now like you said you and me make it
through didn't quite fell apart
where the f*ck were you?


Soulfly, No Hope = No fear.

Whoever told ya you can never be free
Whoever told ya you can't seek out that dream
Whoever told ya you can never be free
Whoever told you that is your enemy you see...
My life is mine, my right is mine
Cause it's my life, you see, not your life
My life is mine, my right is mine
Sometimes you have to lose your mind...

No Hope = No Fear

I won't wait for the next life
The time is now, the time is right
Follow my heart, I'll get through
If you're not now, you never were
So lose yourself to find yourself
Don't need to act like nobody else
Sometimes it feels as if the road is blocked
I'll find a way, I'll move those rocks
Freedom!

Rasputina, A Quitter.

I have worked out every small detail
In this plan I've made.
This thing which cannot fail
I dare myself to do this one thing.
You can have my car,
Go and take everything.

All that's good is gone.
I have tried too long.

I don't think i'll miss my mom & dad,
The class i cut,
The freinds i never had
These things i won't miss won't miss me
My house, my block,
The baby bird i set free,
The dance that i was never asked to,
The teachers
That thought they knew me.
They'll all remember what I did,
They'll ask "Who's fault was it?"
"Oh, she was just a kid"

I'll be glad to go, you see.
You don't even know me.
Not at all.


nine inch nails, and all that could have been.

breeze still carries the sound
maybe i’ll disappear
tracks will fade in the snow
you won’t find me here

ice is starting to form
ending what had begun
i am locked in my head
with what i’ve done
i know you tried to rescue me
didn’t let anyone get in
left with a trace of all that was
and all that could have been

please, take this
and run far away
far away from me
I am tainted
the two of us
were never meant to be
all these pieces
and promises and left behinds
if only I could see
in my nothing
you meant everything
everything to me

gone fading everything
and all that could have been

please, take this
and run far away
far as you can see
I am tainted
and happiness and peace of mind
were never meant for me
all these pieces
and promises and left behinds
if only I could see
in my nothing
you meant everything
everything to me

Bob Seger

On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
moanin' out his one note song
You can think about the woman
or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
and there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin',
you just wish the trip was through

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Well you walk into a restaurant,
strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you

but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk,
other times you can
All the same old cliches,
"Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered,
you don't dare make a stand

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Out there in the spotlight
you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
like the music that you play
Later in the evening
as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette,
rememberin' what she said

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
There I go

Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)
-bette midler

Each day through my window
I watch him as he passes by.
I say to myself, "What an incredible guy."
To have a love like that
must surely be a dream come true.
Out of all the women in the world,
he belongs to only you.

But it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.

Soon we'll be married
and raise a family.
A cozy little home out in the country
with two kids or three.

I tell you, I can visualize it all.
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems.

Ohh, but it was just my imagination, once again
runnin' away with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.

Every night on my knees I pray:
Dear Lord, hear my plea.
Don't ever let another take his love from me
or I will surely, surely die.

His love is heavenly.
When his arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody.
But in reality
he doesn't even know me.

Once again
runnin' away with me.
Ohh, just my imagination
runnin' away with me.

It was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
running away with me.

Just my imagination
runnin' away with me . . .

Nature Boy - David Bowie & Massive Attack

There was a boy
A very strange
Enchanted boy
They say he wandered
Very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
One magic day
He passed my way
While we spoke
Of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me

"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love and
Be loved in return"

Angel Of Mercy


In all this confusion, so sad to be alone,
In darkness and shadows - a place I call home.

You kill me with kindness, 'til I feel no pain,
Angel of mercy when you call my name.

And now more than ever, in these ever-changing times,
Your love can help me, ease my troubled mind.

You kill me with kindness, 'til I feel no pain,
Angel of mercy when you call my name.

Bring light to my blindness, and shelter from the rain,
Angel of mercy when you speak my name.

Back on that dark road, I know so well.
I'm so broken hearted, but no one, no one can tell,
Angel of mercy.

Back on that dark road, I know so well,
I'm so broken hearted, but no one, no one can tell.
Whoah oh whoah oh.

Kill me with kindness, 'til I feel no pain,
Angel of mercy when you call my name.

Bring light to my blindness, shelter from the rain,
Angel of mercy, when you call my name,
Angel of mercy.

Get Gone by Fiona APple

How many times do I have to say
To get away-get gone
Flip your **** past another lass'
Humble dwelling
You got your game, made your shot, and you got away
With a lot, but I’m not turned-on
So put away that meat you’re selling
Cuz I do know what’s good for me-
And I’ve done what I could for you
But you’re not benefiting, and yet I’m sitting
Singing again, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he won’t get with this
Am I gonna heal from this; he won’t admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It’s time the truth goes out that he don’t give a
**** about me
How many times can it escalate
Till it elevates to a place I can’t breathe?
And I must decide, if you must deride
That I’m much obliged to up and go
I’ll idealize, and realize that it’s no
Sacrifice, because the price is paid, and
There’s nothing left to grieve
****in go-
Cuz I've done what I could for you, and I do know what’s
Good for me and I’m not benefiting, instead
I’m sitting singing again, singing again, singing again,
Sing, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he won’t get with this
M'I gonna heal from this; he won’t admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It’s time the truth goes out that he don’t give a
**** about me

You Lied by Tool

Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Couldn't you have said what you meant? Oh...

Time heals, time congeals around us
Endless hours of wasted moments
Understanding, not demanding
Your eyes tell what you feel inside

Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Shouldn't you have said what you meant?

YOU LIED!

Jerk Off by Tool

Someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong,
and that punishment would come
to those who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total *******.
But I'm tired of waiting.
Maybe it's just bull****
and I should play GOD,
and shoot you myself.
Because I'm tired of waiting.
Consequences dictate our course of action
and it doesn't matter what's right.
It's only wrong if you get caught.
If consequences dictate my course of action
I should play GOD and just shoot you myself.
I'm very tired of waiting.
I should kick you,beat you, **** you,
and then shoot you in your ****ing head.

Move on Alone by Jethro Tull

i feel so sad, now that she's gone
i've been lovin' that woman too long
there's no place to go, cos my friends have all moved
got nothin' but to sit in the sun
got tired of cryin', guess i'll move on alone

my bed is so empty, and my heart is grown cold
guess i'll just die before i grow old
the place is untidy, that's cos i ain't done my dirt
i just grown tired of thinkin'
got tired of cryin', guess i'll move on alone

Der Tod und das Mädchen (Death and the Maiden)

by Franz Schubert


Das Mädchen:
The Maiden:

"Vorüber! ach, vorüber!
"Go past me, oh, go past!

Geh, wilder Knochenmann!
Go, savage man of bone!

Ich bin noch jung, geh, Lieber!
I am still young; go please

Und rühre mich nicht an."
and do not molest me."

Der Tod:
Death:

"Gib deine Hand, du schön und zart Gebild,
"Give me your hand, you fair and tender form!

Bin Freund und komme nicht zu strafen.
I am a friend; I do not come to punish.

Sei gutes Muts! Ich bin nicht wild,
Be of good cheer! I am not savage.

Sollst sanft in meinen Armen schlafen."
You shall sleep gently in my arms."

[Anodyne]

Shine on me by Kingston Wall

Shine, shine on me
Shine, shine on me
Shine, shine on me
Shine, shine on me

Can't you see it's all your future
Feelings have to be pushed away
Can't you see it's just a feeling
Shine, shine on me

See me walking, see me crawling
See my future see a dead man
See me walking, see me crawling
Shine, shine on me

Shine, shine on me
Shine, shine on me
Shine, shine on me
Shine, shine on me

LET'S GIVE ADAM AND EVE ANOTHER CHANCE
Gary Puckett & the Union Gap

He raised His hand & said "They'll need a place to stand"
& created what we now call the land
He raised His hand & said "They'll need a place to fly"
& created what we now call the sky
& then He gave life life to a man & a woman
& said "The rest is in your hands"

So many years have passed since these 2 people loved
3 billion(*) represents the children of their love
Too many tears have fallen from the eyes of the people
But ooo, the sun is ice

CHORUS:
Let's give Adam & Eve another chance
To bring their children back together
Let's give Adam & Eve another chance
To show us how to love one another
(Got to learn to love one another)
Show us how to love one another
(Got to learn to love one another)

When He created all the beauty that we see
I know He had in mind a better life for you & me
But as we grow stronger, all people hunger
Just for the right to be free

(repeat chorus & fade)
