Cinderella - Coming Home

I took a walk down a road
It's the road I was meant to stay
I see the fire in your eyes
But a man's got to make his way
So are you tough enough for my love
Just close your eyes to the heaven above
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

I took a ride in a world
I'll be spinnin' for the rest of my life
I feel your heart beatin' baby
Ooo sometimes it cuts like a knife
So are you tough enough for my love
Just close your eyes to the heaven above
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

I'm coming home
Where your love tonight can shine on me
I'm coming home
Where your lovin' arms can set me free

I took a walk down a road
It's the road I was meant to stay
I see the fire in your eyes
But a man's got to make his way
So are you tough enough for my love
Just close your eyes to the heaven above
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

I'm coming home
Oh yea
I'm on my way oh yea
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Here we go ooo yea, ooo
I'm on my way
Come on baby, come on now
Let your love, shine on me

Sing along, I'm on my way
Come on baby, ooo
Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Come on baby, I'm on my way
Come on baby, let you love shine on me
Oh yea, shine on me
Oh yea, shine on, shine on me
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Alan Parsons Project - Don't Answer Me

If you believe in the power of magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world,
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

Death Cab For Cutie - A Lack Of Color

And when i see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around, turns you around

If you feel discouraged
That there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seems
Absorbing everything
The spectrum's a to z

This fact not fiction
For the first time in years
And all the girls in every girlie magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone

To call at 7:03 and on your machine I slur a plea for you to come home
But i know it's too late
I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay [x3]

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years

Spoon - Back to The Life

Son you must go back to the life
Go pack your bags
Take up your scythe
Cause this world wasn't meant for us both

Who made the night
Who made the day
Who gave you life
Who gave you say
I said this world wasn't meant for us both

Who rules the day
Who rules the night
Go pack your bags
Take up your scythe
I said this world wasn't meant for us both

Dar Williams - The Beauty of The Rain

And you know the light is fading all too soon
You're just two umbrellas one late afternoon
You don't know the next thing you will say
This is your favorite kind of day
It has no walls
The beauty of the rain
Is how it falls, how it falls, how it falls

And there's nothing wrong but there is something more
And sometimes you wonder what you love her for
She says you've known her deepest fears
'Cause she's shown you a box of stained-glass tears
It can't be all
The truth about the rain
Is how it falls, how it falls, how it falls

But when she gave you more to find
You let her think she'd lost her mind
And that's all on you
Feeling helpless if she asked for help
Or scared you'd have to change yourself

And you can't deny this room will keep you warm
You can look out of your window at the storm
But you watch the phone and hope it rings
You'll take her any way she sings
Or how she calls
The beauty of the rain
Is how it falls, how it falls, how it falls
How it falls, how it falls, how it falls

Cat Power - Lived In Bars

we've lived in bars
and danced on the tables
hotels trains and ships that sail
we swim with sharks
and fly with aeroplanes in the air

send in the trumpets
the marching wheelchairs
open the blankets and give them some air
swords and arches bones and cement
the lights and the dark of the innocent of men

we know your house so very well
and we will wake you once we've walked up
all your stairs

there's nothing like living in a bottle
and nothing like ending it all for the world
we're so glad you will come back
every living lion will lay in your lap
the kid has a homecoming the champion the horse
who's gonna play drums guitar or organ with chorus
as far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand
never have we caught a glimpse of this man

we know your house so very well
and we will bust down your door if you're not there

we've lived in bars
and danced on tables
hotels trains and ships that sail
we swim with sharks
and fly with aeroplanes out of here
out of here

Eels - Hey Man (Now You're Really Living)

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor?
Cry your guts out till you got no more
Hey man, now you're really living
Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl?
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man, now you're really living
Now you're really giving everything
And you're really gettin' what you gave
Now you're really livin' what this life is all about
Well, I just saw the sun rise over the hill
Never used to give me much of a thrill
But, hey man, now I'm really living
Do you know what it's like to care too much?
About someone that you're never gonna get to touch
Hey man, now you're really living
Have you ever sat down in the fresh-cut grass
And thought about the moment and when it will pass
Hey man, now you're really living
Now you're really giving everything
And you're really gettin' what you gave
Now you're really livin' what this life is all about
Now, what would you say if I told you that
Everyone thinks you're a crazy old cat
Hey man, now you're really living
Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor?
Cry your guts out till you got no more
Hey man, now you're really living
Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl?
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man, now you're really living...

Def Leppard - Photograph

I'm outta luck, outta love
Got a photograph, picture of
Uh, passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I wanna touch
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free, so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

Oh! Look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh! Look what you've done

Photograph - I don't want your
Photograph - I don't need your
Photograph - all I've got is a photograph
But it's not enough

I'd be your lover, if you were there
Put your hurt on me, if you dare
Such a woman, you got style
You make every man feel like a child, oh
You got some kinda hold on me
You're all wrapped up in mystery
So wild, so free, and so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

Oh! Look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh! Look what you've done

Photograph - I don't want your
Photograph - I don't need your
Photograph - all I've got is a photograph
You've gone straight to my head

Oh! Look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh! Look what you've done
I gotta have you

Photograph - I don't want your
Photograph - I don't need your
Photograph - all I've got is a photograph
I wanna touch you

Photograph
Photograph - your photograph
Photograph
Photograph - I need only your
Photograph - I'm outta love
Photograph - I'm outta love
Photograph - you're the only one
Photograph - I wanna touch

The Shins - Those To Come

Eyeless in the morning sun you were
Pale and mild, a modern girl
Taken with thought, still prone to care
Makin tea in your underwear
You went out in the yard to find

Something to eat and clear your mind
Something bad inside me went away

Quaking leaves and broken light
Shifting skin the coming night
The bearers of all good things arrive
Climb inside us, twist and cry
A kiss on your molten eyes

Myriad lives like blades of grass
Yet to be realized, bow as they pass

They are cold,
Still,
Waiting in the ether,
To form,
Feel,
Kill,
Propagate,
Only to die
[x2]

Dissolve
Magically,
Absurdly,
They'll end,
Leave,
Dissipate,
Coldly
And strangely
Return

Harry Connick Jr. - Come By Me

Come by me
Come talk to me baby
Tell me how
We can combine

Will you be
My sunshine forever
Will you be
A friend of mine

Try me out
And if you get excited
Take me home
I’d love to be invited
Once we’re there
I’m sure you’ll be delighted
We could rock all night

Wait and see
We might fit together
That would be
My lucky day

Come by me
Come love with me baby
Maybe we
Could run away

Well come by me
Come talk to me baby
Tell me how
We can combine

Will you be
My sunshine forever
Or will you be
Just a friend of mine

Try me out
And if you get excited
Take me home
I’d love to be invited
Once we’re there
I’m sure you’ll be delighted
We could rock all night

Wait and see
We might fit together
That would be
My lucky day-yeah

Come by me
Oh come love with me baby
Maybe we
Could run away
Maybe we
Could run away
Maybe we
Could run away
