Holding Back The Years
~Simply Red

holding back the years
thinking of the fear i've had so long
when somebody hears
listen to the fear that's gone

strangled by the wishes of pater
hoping for the arms of mater
get to meet her sooner or later

i'll keep holding on
i'll keep holding on

holding back the years
chance for me escape from all i've known
holding back the tears
cause nothing here has grown

i've wasted all my tears
wasted all those years
and nothing had the chance to be good
nothing ever could

i'll keep holding on
i'll keep holding on

that's all i have today
that's all i have to say

The Flame
~Cheap Trick

Another night slowly closes in and I feel so lonely
Touching heat freezing on my skin
I pretend you still hold me
I'm going crazy I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far
I'm in way too deep over you
I can't believe you're gone
You were the first
You'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire
After all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Watching shadows move across the wall
Feels so fright'ning
I wanna run to you, I wanna call
But I've been hit by lightning
Just can't stand up for falling apart
Can't see through this veil across my heart
You'll always be the one
You were the first
You'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire
After all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Drowndeep: Hula
~Maxwell

Confusing as this is
I hope my kiss can rectify
The lack of part time bliss
A weightlessness inside
Your life,
Your life,
your life

Let's drown deep in us
Make no fight, no fuss
Come drown deep in us
In us,
in us,
in us,
in us

I'll wear your liquid kiss
And watch as if inside
Dispel the negative
As if a myth alive

Why should I let you go
How could I let you go
When we be up here all alone
Hula hula baby

Let's drown deep in us
Make no fight, no fuss
Come drown deep in us
In us,
in us,
in us,
in us

Sand In My Shoes
~Dido

Two weeks away it feels like the world should've changed
But I'm home now
And things still look the same

I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack
Try to forget for one more night
That I'm back in my flat on the road
Where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can't watch the sunset

I don't have time
I don't have time

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused
But I wanna see you again

Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity
Should run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here
Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset
And take my time
Take up our time

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused
But I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

Two weeks away, all it takes to change and turn me around,
I've fallen
I walked away and never said that I wanted to see you again

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused
But I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

I'll Be There
~Jackson 5

You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I’ll be there

I’ll reach out my hand to you,
I’ll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I’ll be there

I’ll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you
I’m so glad that I found you
I’ll be there with a love that’s strong
I’ll be your strength, I’ll keep holding on
Yes I will, yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that’s all I’m after
Whenever you need me, I’ll be there

I’ll be there to protect you
With an unselfish love I respect you
Just call my name and I’ll be there

I’ll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you
I’m so glad that I found you
I’ll be there with a love that’s strong
I’ll be your strength, I’ll keep holding on
Yes I will, yes I will

If you should ever find someone new
I know he’d better be good to you
’cos if he doesn’t, I’ll kick his ass...
I mean, I'll be there

Don’t you know, baby, yeah yeah
I’ll be there, I’ll be there,
Just call my name, I’ll be there

I’ll be there, I’ll be there,
Whenever you need me, I’ll be there

Don’t you know, baby, yeah yeah

Into Temptation
~Crowded House

You opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath

The cradle is soft and warm
Couldn't do me no harm
You're showing me how to give

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation

In a muddle of nervous words
Could never amount to betrayal
The sentence is all my own
The price to watch it fail

As I turn to go
You looked at me for half a second
An open invitation for me to go

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation
Safe in the wide open arms of hell

We can go sailing in
Climb down
Lose yourself when you linger long
Into temptation
Right where you belong

The guilty get no sleep
In the last slow hours of morning
Experience is cheap
I should've listened to the warning
But the cradle is soft and warm

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into your wide open arms
No way to break this spell
Break this spell

Don't tell

Voodoo Child

Baby, baby, baby
You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child

You're like voodoo baby
You just take hold
Put your cards on the table baby
Do I twist, do I fold
You're like voodoo honey
All silver and gold
Why don't you tell me my future
Why don't I sell you my soul
So here it comes, the sound of drums
Here come the drums, here come the drums

[Chorus:]
Baby, baby, baby
You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe, baby
It's supernatural, coming undone

[Chorus]

You're like voodoo baby
Your kisses are cold
Feel your poison running through me
Let me never grow old

You're like voodoo honey
My picture you stole
You play me like a puppet
Sticking pins in a doll
So here it comes, the sound of drums
Here come the drums, here come the drums

[Chorus][x2]

Woo!
Here come the drums, here come the drums

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, baby
You just take hold
Don't say maybe, maybe
Do I twist do I fold

Fell intoxicated

Hurricane
~Eric Benet

Standing here in disarray
A calm serenity
The winds of change can devastate
And it took this much for me

With nowhere to run and no reason left to hide
Gonna hold on
All the walls around are broken down
Now I can hear the rising sun

Surrounded by everything I want
But nothing that I need
I was blinded by the absurdity
Losing all identity
Sometimes what you fear the most is what you need
To find that road
Right around that curve a lesson learned
Now that I have the eyes to see

A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again

With poison toys I'd isolate
But the wind was strong and true
But now I see where the treasure is
'Cause they only blocked my view

I'm spiraling down but so oblivious
Got to find my way home
There's a heart that bleeds trapped in me
But how do I break this shell of stone

A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again

Sometimes I cried, the tears wouldn't fall
And sometimes I tried to break those walls
And feel your love
But I came alive
When I finally found my way

A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again

Overjoyed
~Stevie Wonder

Over time, I’ve building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I’ve gone much too far for you now to say
That I’ve got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I’ve been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I’ve searched to discover
I’ve come much too far for me now to find
The love that I’ve sought can never be mine

And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you

Gotta Get: Closer
~Maxwell

Listen To The Music
~Doobie Brothers

Don’t you feel it growin’, day by day
People gettin’ ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play

What the people need
Is a way to make ’em smile
It ain’t so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama, don’t you ask me why

Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

Well I know, you know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We’ll be happy
And we’ll dance
Oh, we’re gonna dance our blues away

And if I’m feelin’ good to you
And you’re feelin’ good to me
There ain’t nothin’ we can’t do or say
Feelin’ good, feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play

Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
Listnin’ for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly

Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

Feel Like Makin' Love
~Roberta Flack

Strollin’ in the park,
watching winter turn to spring
Walking in the dark,
seein’ lovers do their thing, mmm

That’s the time
I feel like making love to you
That’s the time
I feel like making dreams come true
Oh, baby

In a restaurant,
holdin’ hands by candlelight
When you’re touching me,
wanting you with all my might

That’s the time
I feel like making love to you
That’s the time
I feel like making dreams come true
Oh, baby

When you talk to me,
when you’re moaning sweet & low
When you’re touchin’ me
and my feeling's start to show
Ooooh...

That’s the time
I feel like making love to you
That’s the time
I feel like making dreams come true
Oh, baby

Strollin’ in the park,
watching winter turn to spring
Walkin’ in the dark,
seein’ lovers do their thing, mmm

That’s the time
I feel like making love to you
That’s the time
I feel like making dreams come true
Oh, baby

Waste Of Paint
~Bright Eyes

I have a friend, he is made mostly of pain
He wakes up, drives to work,
and then straight back home again
He once cut one of my nightmares out of paper
I thought it was beautiful, I put it on a record cover
And I tried to tell him he had a sense of color and composition so magnificent

And he said "Thank you,
please but your flattery is truly not becoming me.
Your eyes are poor. You are blind. You see,
No beauty could have come from me.
I am a waste of breath, of space, of time."

I knew a woman, she was dignified and true
Her love for her man was one of her many virtues
Until one day, she found out that he had lied
And decided the rest of her life,
from that point on would be a lie

But she was grateful for everything that had happened
And she was anxious for all that would come next
But then she wept.
What did you expect?
In that big, old house with all those cars she kept
"Oh!" and "such is life," she often said
With one day leading her to the next,
you get a little closer to your death,
which was fine with her.
She never got upset
and with all the days she may have left,
she would never clean another mess
or fold his shirts or look her best.
She was free to waste away alone.

Last night, my brother he got drunk and drove
And this cop pulled him off to the side of the road
And he said, "Officer! Officer! You have got the wrong man
No, no, I'm a student of medicine,
the son of a banker, you don't understand!"
The cop said, "No one got hurt, you should be thankful.
And you carelessness, it is something awful.
And no, I can't just let you go.
And though your father's name is known,
your decisions are yours alone. You are nothing but a stepping stone
on a path to debt, to loss, to shame."

The last few months I have been living with this couple.
Yeah, you know, the kind that buy everything in doubles.
They fit together, like a puzzle.
And I love their love and I am thankful
that someone actually receives the prize
that was promised by all those fairy tales that drugged us.

And they still do me
I'm sick, lonely, no laurel tree, just green envy
Will my number come up eventually?
Like Love is some kind of lottery,
where you can scratch and see what is underneath
It's "Sorry", just one cherry, "Play Again." Get lucky

So I have been hanging out down by the train's depot
No, I don't ride
I just sit and watch the people there
They remind me of wind up cars in motion
The way they spin and turn and jockey for positions
And I want to scream out that it is all nonsense
And that their lives are one track, and can't they see how it is all pointless?

But then, my knees give under me
My head feels weak and suddenly
it is clear to see that it is not them but me
who has lost my self-identity
As I hide behind these books I read, while scribbling my poetry,
like art could save a wretch like me, with some ideal ideology
that no one can hope to achieve

And I am never real; it is just a sketch of me.
And everything I have is trite and cheap
and a waste of paint, of tape, of time

Sometimes I park my car down my the cathedral
where floodlights point up at the steeples
Choir practice is filling up with people
I hear the sound escaping as an echo
Sloping off the ceiling at an angle
When voices blend they sound like angels

I hope there is still some room left in the middle
But when I lift my voice up now to reach them
The range is too high, way up in heaven
So I hold my tongue, forget the song,
tie my shoe and start walking off.
And try to just keep moving on
with my broken heart and my absent God

And I have no faith but it is all I want,
to be loved
and believe in my soul
in my soul...
