The Police - Every Breath You Take



Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watchin' you

Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watchin' you

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watchin' you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep cryin', baby, baby, please

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watchin' you
Every move you make, every step you take
I'll be watchin' you

I'll be watchin' you
(every breath you take, every move you make,
Every bond you break, every step you take)
I'll be watchin' you
(every single day, every word you say,
Every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watchin' you
(every move you make, every vow you break,
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake)
I'll be watchin' you
(every single day, every word you say,
Every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watchin' you
(every breath you take, every move you make,
Every bond you break, every step you take)
I'll be watchin' you
(every single day, every word you say,
Every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watchin' you
(every move you make, every vow you break,
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake)
I'll be watchin' you
(every single day, every word you say,
Every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watchin' you

Fine Young Cannibals - Don't Look Back



Never had the good things only money can buy

I drive my car but I haven't got a car to drive.
Never had a holiday in the tropical sun

Good times look like they're never gonna come.
Oh
I know these times are bad and it makes you wanna cry

Don't be sad
We'll get by.

Baby
Baby
Don't look back
It won't do no good

Baby
Baby
Don't look back

I'm gonna leave and I think that you should.

I've spent my life in a place like this

On the first bus out I'm gonna get myself a lift.
If you wanna stay
Well
That's alright

If you wanna go it's got to be tonight.
Oh
I know these times are bad and it makes you wanna cry

Don't be sad
We'll get by.

Baby
Baby
Don't look back
It won't do no good

Baby
Baby
Don't look back

I'm gonna leave and I think that you should.

Never had the good things only money can buy

I drive my car but I haven't got a car to drive.
Oh
I know these times are bad and it makes you wanna cry

Don't be sad
We'll get by.

Baby
Baby
Don't look back
It won't do no good
...
Baby
Baby
Don't look back
It won't do no good
...
Baby
Baby
Don't look back
It won't do no good
...

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here



So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

The Rainmakers - Spend It On Love



Hear tell of man who took a hundred dollars
Spent it on lottery tickets and beer
Won a couple million, left his wife and children
Lived himself to death in a couple of years

Should have spent it on love
Spend it on his children
Spend it on the ones who need it the most
Take your little bundle, put her in a basket
Leave her on the doorstep of the future her home

I hear of an army taking lots of money
Spending it on guns and rolls of barbed wire
Blew it all away, their homeless and their hungry
Had to bite the bullet, taste of bloody war

Spend it on love, spend it on the children
Spend it on the ones who need it the most
Take your little bundle, put her in a basket
Leave her on the doorstep of the future her home

Johnny in the belly of a billionaire
Swallowed by the music he played
Gonna have to ride that camel through the eye
Of a phonograph needle some day

I hear of a country where they say the cities
All have pretty streets that are paved with gold
They may not be gold but they were built by people
Paying heavy taxes for a dream they still hold

CHORUS

Fiona Apple - Tonight You Belong To Me



i know you belong to somebody new
but tonight you belong to me

although we're apart
you're part of my heart
and tonight you belong to me

way down
by the stream
how sweet
it will seem
once more
just to dream
in the moonlight
my honey i know
with the dawn
that you will be gone,
but tonight you belong to me

way down, way down along the stream
how very very sweet it will seem
once more just to dream
in the silvery moonlight
my honey i know
with the dawn
that you will be gone
but tonight you belong to me
just to little old me

The Kills - Cheap And Cheerful



I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expand some sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

I'm sick of social crazes
Show your sharp tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Did the legal meet

'Cause love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice-cream
You got to see me dancing dog

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

Sondre Lerche - Modern Nature



The moment has come to face the truth
I'm wide awake, and so are you
Do you have a clue what this is? (I don't know)
Are you everything that I miss? (I don't hope so)
We'll just have to wait and see (Wait, and see)
If things go right we're meant to be

The surface is gone, we scratched it off
We made some plans, and let them go
Do you have the slightest idea (No, I don't)
Why the world is bright with you here? (Oh, is that so?)
Stay a while and wait and see (wait, and see)
If things go right we're meant to be


Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

The time is here for being straight
It´s not too early and never too late
People say I should watch my pace (What do they know?)
"Think how you spend all your days" (They all say so)
They´ll just have to wait and see (Wait, and see)
If things go right they´ll have to agree

Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

Do you have the slightest idea (No, I don't)
Why the world is bright with you here? (Oh, is that so?)
Stay a while and wait and see (wait, and see)
If things go right we're meant to be

Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

Billy Bragg & Wilco - California Stars



I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars

I'd love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes, I'd give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars

I'd like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars

They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So, I'd give this world
Just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars

So, I'd give this world
Just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars

Norah Jones - Sinkin' Soon



We're an oyster cracker on the stew,
And the honey in the tea,
We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two,
In the black coffee,
The golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at noon,
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky,
But we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

In a boat that's built of sticks and hay,
We drifted from the shore,
With a captain who's too proud to say,
That he dropped the oar,
Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak,
In this cheap pontoon,
Now the hull has started growing weak,
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath 'cause,
We're gonna be sinkin' soon

We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath 'cause,
Down and down we go.

Like the oyster cracker on the stew,
The honey in the tea
The sugar cubes, one lump or two?
No thank you none for me.
We're the golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at noon,
Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky
Well ... we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
