Drama! [Erasure]

One rule for us, for you another
Do unto yourself as you would see fit for your brother
Is that not within your realm of understanding?
A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding?

Whoa then poor unfortunate you
There are a myriad of things that you can do
Like pick up a pen and paper (pick up a pen and paper)
Go and talk to a friend (go and talk to a friend)
The history of the future (history of the future)
No violence or revenge

Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty (guilty)
And how you ever entered into this life
God only knows the infinite complexities of love

We all have the ability
Our freedom is fragile
We all laugh and we cry, don't we?
We all bleed and we smile

Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how you ever entered into this life
God only knows you're not to sacrifice the art of love
Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
We are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how we ever entered into this life
God only knows the infinite complexities of love
We are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how we ever entered into this life
God only knows we're not to sacrifice the art of love
We are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how we ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows the infinite complexities of love
You are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how we ever entered into this life
God only knows the ultimate necessity of love

Never trust a stranger [Kim Wilde]

I knew there was danger
But couldn't resist
The touch of a stranger
The thrill of his kiss, Cos this time

I thought it was love
I thought it was heaven
Having the time of my life
I know it's not true

Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

My world is in pieces
You've stolen my pride
And I'm left defeated
And crushed by your lies

I thought it was love
I thought it was heaven
Having the time of my life
I know it's not true

Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

Like a tiger you hunted and tracked me down
Savaged my soul and took over control
And then when you'd used all the love you found
You left without trace, not a note or a single goodbye

I thought it was love
I thought it was heaven
Having the time of my life
I know it's not true

Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

Oh, oh, oh, ooooohh

The eve of the war [Jeff Wayne]

No-one would have believed, in the last years of the 19th century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space.
No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.
Few men even consider the possibility of life on other planets, and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes.
And slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us.

Abruptly, the sound ceased.

Let's party [Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers]

It's christmas!
Come on everybody, it's christmas time

Woooooo. Jive Bunny. Come on
Come on everybody, let's party
Jive Bunny. Come on
Jive Bunny. Come on
Here we go

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Let's party
Yeah!
Woooooo

When the snowman brings the snow
Well he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
If you jump into your bed
Quickly cover up your head
Don't you lock the doors
You know that sweet Santa Claus in on the way

Well I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day
Let the bells ring out for Christmas

OK you lot, take it
Wooo Wooo
It's christmas time again, come on
Wind it up
Wind it up
OK Gazza, take it away

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
Presents hanging from the trees
You'll never guess what you've got from me!

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
We better hold each other tight
You never know it might snow tonight

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
All dressed up, so here we go
Do I hear sleigh bells, in the snow?

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas

Everybody get off your seats
Clap your hands and stamp your feet
Clap Clap your hands and stamp your feet
Lets Party!

What in the hell is going on?
Jive Bunny. Come on

What in the hell is going on?
What in the hell is going on?
Jive Bunny. Come on
J-jive Bunny. Come on

Party!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa ha ha ha. Yeaaahhh!

Got to get [Rob 'n' Raz Featuring Leila K.]

Step back, relax and chill as I thrill
The K. is back, I'm not here to ill
Laying knowledge through the mic, hype
With a bass like this for your delight

Cooling in the crib, writing rhymes,
A pen on the paper, spending time
Then up on the stage the crowd's in a rage
Taking rap to a brand new age

Psychological poems, funk-funky fresh
Rob'n'Raz on the cut to bring big success
Ain't down with whores, ain't down with smack
I'm a fly girl, packed with rap

When I grab the microphone you better move your butt
Homeboys in the house show me what you've got
I'm Leila K. on the m-i-c
C'mon come with me to the place to be

Got to get, and get again and again
And I get to got and yet remain the same
Got to get, and get again and again
I am what I am, and I'm playing my game
Got to get, and get again and again
And I get to got and yet remain the same
Got to get, and get again and again
I am what I am, and I'm playing my game
Go - get up
Wow - yeah
Go - get up
Wow - yeah

Rhyming devastation, my obligation
When I'm in effect, I shake the foundation
Stories I tell intellectually well
Fresh for '89 rocking bells

(Leila K.) coming right and exact
(Leila K.) ain't down with no crack
(Leila K.) laying rapster rap
On the mic super-def, never coming out wack

On and on, police look on
I've got soul, boy...and I'm coming on strong
"Check those specs", hard and correct
It's live, and the mic is blessed

Full of steam, mean on the scene
"På Svenska fin" if you know what I mean
(Leila K.) on the m-i-c
C'mon come with me to the place to be

Got to get, and get again and again
And I get to got and yet remain the same
Got to get, and get again and again
I am what I am, and I'm playing my game
Got to get, and get again and again
And I get to got and yet remain the same
Got to get, and get again and again
I am what I am, and I'm playing my game
Go - get up
Wow - yeah

Nothing compares 2 u [Sinead O'Connor]

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong?

I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me, guess what he told me?
He said, girl, you better try to have fun no matter what you do.
But he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Blue savannah [Erasure]

Blue savannah song
Oh blue savannah song

Somewhere 'cross the desert
Some time in the early hours
In a restless world
On the open highway
My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender
To you only
I send my love to you

Blue savannah song
Oh blue savannah song

Racing 'cross the desert
At a hundred miles an hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder
My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender
To you only
I send my love to you

Well I'm on my way back, and your love will bring me home
(say that your love will bring me home)
I'm travelling fast, and your love will bring me home
(say your love will bring me home)
Will I discover that your love will bring me home?
(dream away darlin')
Will I discover that your love will bring me home?
(yeah)

Somewhere 'cross the desert
Some time in the early hours
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder
My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender
To you only
I send my love to you

Home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender
To you only (sweet to surrender)
I send my love to you
Ooh savannah song (sweet to surrender)
To you only
I send my love to you
Ooh savannah song
To you only
To you only

Birdhouse in your soul [They Might Be Giants]

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary, one note spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette, it doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(and while you're at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
