White Lion - Wait
Wait just a moment before our love will die
cause I must know the reason why we say goodbye
wait just a moment and tell me why
cause I can show you lovin that you won't deny
wait and show your lovin like it was before
cause I won't let that feelin walk out through the door
yeah wait just a moment and try once more
cause babe I need to hold you like I did before
so if you go away I know that I will follow
cause there's a place inside my heart that tells me
hold out, hold out, hold out
wait - wait I never had a chance to love you
wait - wait if only our love could show you
wait - wait I never wanna be without you
wait - wait no I never had a chance to love you
now I only wanna say I love you one more time
solo
wait - wait I never had a chance to love you
wait - wait if only our love could show you
wait - wait I never wanna be without you
wait - wait no I never had a chance to love you
now I only wanna say I love you wait...

Men At Work - Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Dr. Heckyll works late at the laboratory
Where things are not as they seem
Dr. Heckyll wishes nothing more desperately
Than to fulfill his dreams
Letting loose with a scream in the dead of night
As he’s breaking new ground
Trying his best to unlock all the secrets
But he’s not sure what he’s found
Dr. Heckyll is his own little guinea pig
‘Cos they all think he’s mad
Sets his sights on the search of a lifetime
And he’s never, never sad
Whoa oh, its off to work he goes
In the name of science and all its wonders
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
They are a person who feels good to be alive
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Believes the underdog will eventually survive
Not long now till the ultimate experiment
He’s breaking all the rules
He wants to cure all matter of imbalance
In this world of fools
He locks the door and looks around nervously
He knows there’s no one there
He drinks it down and waits for some reaction
To all his work and care
Hey, hey he fumbles for what to say
He loves the world except for all the people
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
They are a person who feels good to be alive
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Believes the underdog will eventually survive
Whoa, oh, its out at night he goes
He sips easily into conversation
Hey hey, he’s cool in every way
Sometimes he likes to sing that old black magic
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
They are a person who feels good to be alive
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Believes the underdog will eventually survive

Laura Gibson - Hands in Pockets
Up with the sunrise you'll be staring
Out through the window of the day
I'll be another waking shadow
Cast on the covers of your bed
Give me another waking moment
Shine against the solemn grate
Tell me the seasons is almost over
I can wait
So goes another winter slowly
Hands in the pockets of my coat
You'll be first to spin your story
I'll be the last to let you go
Tell me you always go before me
Out along the solemn grate
Tell me the season is almost over
I can wait
When in day light leaves you staring
Out in another under tow
I'll be tired conversation
I'll be waiting, get home
Tell me you always go before me
Out along the solemn grate
Tell me the season is almost over
I can wait I can wait I can wait

Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen
God save the Queen
The fascist regime,
They made you a moron
A potential H-bomb.
God save the Queen
She ain't no human being.
There is no future
In England's dreamland
Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need.
There's no future
There's no future
There's no future for you
God save the Queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the Queen
'cos tourists are money
And our figurehead
Is not what she seems
Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord God have mercy
All crimes are paid.
When there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers
In the dustbin
We're the poison
In your human machine
We're the future
You're future
God save the Queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the Queen
We mean it man
There is no future
In England's dreamland
No future
No future for you
No future for me

Talking Heads - Burning Down The House
Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame
My house S'out of the ordinary
That's might Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire

Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine
I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
And I certainly haven't been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot it's a slow climb
But I'm good at being uncomfortable so I can't stop changing all the time
I noticed that my opponent is always on the go
And won't go slow so as not to focus and I notice
He'll hitch a ride with any guide as long as they go fast from whence he came
But he's no good at being uncomfortable so he can't stop staying exactly the same
If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it I'm an extraordinary machine
I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way
And say I've been getting along for long before you came into the play
I am the baby of the family
It happens so everybody cares
And wears the sheeps clothes while they chaperone
Curious you're looking down your nose at me while you appease
Courteous to try and help but let me set your mind at ease
If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it I'm an extraordinary machine
Do I so worry you
No need to hurry to my side, it's very kind
But it's to no avail
I don't want the pill
I promise you everything will be just fine
If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it I'm an extraordinary machine
If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it I'm an extraordinary machine

The New Pornographers - Myriad Harbour
I took a plane
I took a train
(Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)
I said to Carl
Look up for once
(See just how the sun sets in the sky)
I said to Jon
Do you think the girls here
(Ever wonder how they got so pretty?)
Oh well I do
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
All the boys
With their home-made microphones
(Have very interesting sounds)
All the girls falling to ruin
Dropping out of school, breakin' daddy's heart
(Just to hang around)
I walked into the local record store
And asked for an American music anthology
It sounds fun
They taught my sketches (?)
Stuck 'em on the walls of PS1
I took a plane
I took a train
(Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)
Stranded at Bleeker and Broadway
Looking for something to do

Amos Lee - Sweet Pea
Sweet pea
Apple of my eye
Don't know when and I don't know why
You're the only reason I keep on coming home
Sweet pea
What's all this about
Don't get your way all you do is fuss and pout
You're the only reason I keep on coming home
I'm like the rock of Gibralter
I always seem to falter
And the words just get in the way
Oh I know I'm gonna crumble
I'm trying to stay humble
But I never think before I say
Sweet pea
Keeper of my soul
I know sometimes I'm out of control
You're the only reason I keep on coming
You're the only reason I keep on coming yeah
You're the only reason I keep on coming home

Pink Martini - Sympathique
Translated into english that means:
My room is a cage
The sun streams through the window,
the bellhops are at my door
like those little soldiers
who want to take me away.
I don't want to work,
I don't want to lunch
I only want to forget and so I smoke.
Long ago I knew the smell of love,
a million roses didn't smell as sweet.
Now a single flower in my way makes me sick.
Chorus
I am not proud if this life
that wants to kill me.
It's magnificent to be sympatico
but I have never known this.
Chorus
Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage,
le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre.
Les chasseurs à ma porte
comme les petits soldats
qui veulent me prendre.
Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...
Déjà j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour,
un million de roses n'embaumerait pas autant.
Maintenant une seule fleur
dans mes entourages
me rend malade.
Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...
Je ne suis pas fière de ça,
cette vie qui veut me tuer.
C'est magnifique, être sympathique,
mais je ne le connais jamais.
Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...
