Only You

Only You
by Taken By Trees

All I ever wanted was a friend to me
Who knew I was in for such a treat
This is far beyond what I imagined
Not even as I fantasized
And I knew
Yes I do, ’bout you
And start a second scene
There is only you for me, Oh-o
Oh-o-Only You
Honey, do you want to take a chance on me?
Walk up and say “we do”
No one ever moved me the way you move
You really knock my off my feet
It’s true
Yeah, baby, it’s true-oo-o
As far as I can see
There’s only you for me
And o-oh-only you
Only You
And only you
All I wanted….
All I wanted…
All I want.

Gone Gone Gone

Gone Gone Gone
by Phillip Phillips

When life leaves you high and dry
I’ll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help
I’ll shut down the city lights,
I’ll lie, cheat, I’ll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well
When enemies are at your door
I’ll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help
Your hope dangling by a string
I’ll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well
Give me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for me
And I would do it for you, for you
Baby, I’m not moving on
I love you long after you’re gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you’re gone
And long after you’re gone, gone, gone.
When you fall like a statue
I’m gon’ be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me
Tell me what you need, what do you need
I surrender honestly
You’ve always done the same for me
So I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I’m not moving on
I love you long after you’re gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long after you’re gone
And long after you’re gone gone gone.
You’re my back bone,
You’re my cornerstone
You’re my crutch when my legs stop moving
You’re my head start,
You’re my rugged heart
You’re the pulse that I’ve always needed
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating
For you, for you
Baby I’m not moving on
I love you long after you’re gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you’re gone.
For you, for you.
Baby I’m not moving on,
I love you long after you’re gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long, long after you’re gone.
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you
And long after you’re gone, gone, gone.
I love you long after you’re gone gone, gone.

Mad World

The version I remember from long, long ago…

Mad World
by Tears for Fears

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I´m dying
Are the best I´ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
‘Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It´s a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what´s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I´m dying
Are the best I´ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
Cos’ I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It´s a very very
Mad world
Mad world

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1
by The Flaming Lips

Her name is Yoshimi
she’s a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body
‘Cause she knows that
it’s demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them
Oh Yoshimi, they don’t believe me
but you won’t let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don’t believe me
but you won’t let those robots defeat me
Those evil-natured robots
they’re programmed to destroy us
she’s gotta be strong to fight them
so she’s taking lots of vitamins
‘Cause she knows that
it’d be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them
Oh Yoshimi, they don’t believe me
but you won’t let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don’t believe me
but you won’t let those robots eat me
Yoshimi
‘Cause she knows that
it’d be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them
Oh Yoshimi, they don’t believe me
but you won’t let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don’t believe me
but you won’t let those robots defeat me
Oh Yoshimi, they don’t believe me
but you won’t let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don’t believe me
but you won’t let those robots eat me
Yoshimi

Haze of Love

Haze of Love

performed by Cake

special appearance by John Dedeke

It’s three o’clock in the morning,
Or maybe it’s four.
I am thinking of you,
Wondering what I should do,
But I’m finally cutting through this haze.
It’s four o’clock in the morning,
Or maybe it’s five.
I think I’m alive,
And I think I’ll survive.
I’m finally cutting through this haze of love.
Haze of love.
For days and days and days,
I’m in a haze of love.
Yeah you don’t love me like I love you.
All though you pretend,
I can see this will end.
I’m finally cutting through this haze of love.
Haze of love.
For days and days and days,
I’m in a haze of love.
It’s five o’clock in the morning,
Or maybe it’s six.
I am sick of your lies.
I am sick of your tricks.
I’m finally cutting through this haze of love.
Haze of love.
For days and days and days,
For days and days and days,
For days and days and days,
I’m in a haze of love.

Crush

performed by The Dave Matthews Band

Crazy, how it, feels tonight.
Crazy, how you, make it all alright love.
You crush me, with the, things you do,
I do, for you, anything too oh.
Sitting, smoking, feeling high.
And in this, moment, ah, it feels so right.
Lovely lady, I am at your feet, oh, God I want you so badly.
And I wonder this could tomorrow be so wondrous as you there sleeping.
Let’s go, drive till, the morning comes.
And watch the, sunrise, and fill our souls up.
Well drink some, wine til, we get drunk, yes…
It’s crazy, I’m thinking, just knowing that the world is round.
I’m here I’m dancing on the ground.
Am I right side up or upside down, and is this real, or am I dreaming?
Lovely lady, let me drink you, please, I won’t spill a, drop no, I promise you.
Lying under this spell you cast on me.
Each moment the more, I, love, you. crush me, come on. oh, yes.
It’s crazy I’m thinking, just knowing that the world is round.
I’m here I’m dancing on the ground.
Am I right side up or upside down?
Is this real, oh lord, or am I dreaming?
Lovely lady, I will treat you sweetly, adore you, I mean, you crush me.
Oh it’s times like these when my faith I feel.
I know, how, I, love, you. come on, come on, baby.
It’s crazy, I’m thinking just as long as you’re around.
I’m here I’ll be dancing on the ground.
Am I right side up or upside down?
To each other, well be facing.
My love, my love, we’ll beat back the pain we’ve found.
You know, I mean to tell you all the things I’ve been thinking, deep inside, my friend.
With each moment the more I love you. Crush me, come on, baby.
So much you have, given love, that I would give you back again and again.
Oh, the love, many now hold you but please, please, just let me, always

Moon Over Bourbon Street

Moon Over Bourbon Street

by Sting

There’s a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I’ve no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can only show my face at noon
And you’ll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I’ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She’s innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

Chaka Demus

Chaka Demus

by Jamie T

A lot of people round here lost the whites in their eyes.
I see the lust inside your heart, so why don’t you go touch the sky.
Think with their heads, argue with a gut,
Draft if you leave the door open might encourage customers,
Then I wish the bar maid shut, look like, down on my luck,
Two world wars, and one world cup,
Screamed by the desperate divided crutch.
Used to have an empire then we grew up.
Lost everything, who gives a fuck
Money in a jukebox, songs all night
Same shit bands, too much hype,
Everyone knows, everyone sees fights, everyone drinks in the corner, right.
Everyone knows, they ‘C’ blood type, same rematch, we match a light
I love her, she loves me too, that’s why we get together.
A lot of people round here lost the whites in their eyes
See the lust, inside your heart,
They don’t wanna touch the sky.
He’s dizzy for Lizzy, I’m dizzy generally,
Scapegoated by a girl befriended me,
Not that I care, it’s the only use to me,
She better be flying through doors pretend to be,
Everyone I wanna be and everything less.
You’re leaving alone but you came together,
Who made the suns turn to stormy weather?
You’re leaving alone but you came together,
Who made the suns turn to stormy weather?
A lot of people round here lost the whites in their eyes
See the lust, inside your heart,
They don’t wanna touch the sky.
She said tonight jay, I’m gonna’ teach them a ballad, an English man in every coward,
I was kinda impressed by the way she dressed,
I scoured this land to find a girl empowered,
Asked her again why our hearts turned sour,
One and the one till the boy’s devoured,
If you’re gonna learn a song, you gotta sing along,
There’s an English man in every coward,
Money in a jukebox, songs all night
Same fucking bands, too much hype,
Everyone knows, everyone sees fights, everyone drinks in the corner, right.
Everyone knows, they ‘C’ blood type, same rematch, we match a light
I love her, she loves me too, that’s why we get together.
A lot of people round here lost the whites in their eyes
See the lust, inside your heart,
They don’t wanna touch the sky.

On My Own

On My Own

performed by Vincent Vincent & the Villains

I’m on my own (x6)
In this world
I’m on my own (x6)
Woah, Yeah
Well I fought myself today
I was out of inspiration
Yeah, the people I been hangin’ around with
Really (?) My concentration.
And I, turn into someone that I didn’t like.
And that’s no fun.
Yeah, tonight I’m only gonna look out for number one.
-And that’s me!
Said,
I’m on my own (x6)
In this world.
I’m on my own (x6)
Oh
Well, I won’t take this for granted.
Cause nothing’s as it seems.
And I won’t, cut myself on other people’s broken dreams.
Oh
I’m on my own (x6)
In this world.
rock and roll!
Well I won’t rely on you,
So don’t you rely on me.
I don’t need nobody’s approval,
I’ll live without it happily.
So if you’re looking for a shoulder,
on which you need to cry.
Don’t call me up cause my main concern is
Me, myself and I!
I’m on my own (x6)
In this world.
Alright, let’s try it.
One last time,
I’m on my own (x6)
