Cornflake girl [Tori Amos]
Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Hangin with the raisin girls
She's gone to the other side
Givin' us a yo heave ho
Things are getting kind of gross
And I go at sleepy time
This is not really- this- this- this is not really happening
You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
Oh you bet your life
Peel out the watchword
just peel out the watchword
She knows what's goin on
Seems we got a cheaper feel
Now all the sweeteaze are gone
Gone to the other side
With my encyclopaedia
They musta paid her a nice price
She's puttin on her string bean love
This is not really- this- this- this is not really happening
You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
Oh you bet your life
Peel out the watchword
just peel out the watchword
Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Rabbit where d'ya put the keys girl
Rabbit where d'ya put the keys girl
Rabbit where d'ya put the keys
Rabbit where d'ya put the keys, where'd you put the keys girl
And the man with the golden gun thinks he knows so much, thinks he knows so much, Yeah

We have all the time in the world [Louis Armstrong]
We have all the time in the world
Time enough for life to unfold
all the precious things love has in store
We have all the love in the world
If that's all we have
You will find we need nothing more
Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more, nothing less
Only love
Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more, nothing less
Only love
Only love

Call it love [Deuce]
You can say what you want
You've got it all wrong
You go on and on and on
I really don't mind
Cruel to be kind
Someone like you's so hard to find
That look on your face
Full of disgrace
You've got to stop acting like a child
You surely must know
Your thoughts are on show
There's really no way
That's just too low
Call it love
If you want
I can see
Does it have to be here and now?
If you want
Can't you see
Why is it always here and now?
You can think what you like
It's the same every night
You go on and on and on
I really don't mind
Cruel to be kind
Someone like you's so hard to find
That look on your face
Full of disgrace
You've got to stop acting like a child
You surely must know
Your thoughts are on show
There's really no way
That's just too low
Call it love
If you want
I can see
Does it have to be here and now?
If you want
Can't you see
Why is it always here and now?
Call it love
If you want
I can see
Does it have to be here and now?
If you want
Can't you see
Why is it always here and now?
You can think what you like
It's the same every night
You go on and on and on
I really don't mind
Cruel to be kind
A woman like you's so hard to find
That look on your face
Full of disgrace
You've got to stop acting like a child
You surely must know
Your thoughts are on show
There's really no way
That's just too low
Call it love
If you want
I can see
Does it have to be here and now?
If you want
Can't you see
Why is it always here and now?
Call it love
If you want
I can see
Does it have to be here and now?
If you want
Can't you see
Why is it always here and now?
Call it love

Almost unreal [Roxette]
Babe, come in from the cold and put that coat to rest.
Step inside, take a deep breath, and do what you do best.
Yes, kick off them shoes and leave those city streets.
I do believe love came our way, and fate did arrange for us to meet.
I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal.
Hey, we can't stop the rain, let's find a place by the fire.
Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems,
you've been in my dreams all my life.
I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal.
It's a crazy world out there.
It's a crazy...
Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight.
Oh, I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal, so unreal.
Yea come on and do the hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal, yea.
It's almost unreal.
Do the hocus pocus to me. Do the hocus pocus...

The whole world lost its head [The Go Go's]
Freeway fell into the bay. Pope's on L.S.D.
Muslim girls are getting down in bikinis
Nazis selling Tupperware door to door
Telepreachers mud-wrestling on the dance floor
I read it in the paper, I see it on my TV
Has the whole world lost it's head (Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head (Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head
You can buy tomatoes that last 500 years
Claudia Schiffer's fiancé made her disappear
Drag queens have the navy tossing in their beds
Mary ate her little lamb. And punk rock isn't dead
I read it in the paper, I see it on my TV
Has the whole world lost it's head (Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head (Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head
I read it in the paper, I see it on my TV
Has the whole world lost it's head (Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head (Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head (Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head
Lost it's head
Lost it's head
Lost it's head

Independent love song [Scarlet]
You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like to us what love meant to them
But that's not to say the love we have isn't big or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way
You might say this is another boring love song
To be together and forever be true
And so today it's much the same as it was then
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way
I'll show you how to take me
Go down, go down
And I'll show you how to turn me
Right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on
Now it's fine that many men will look my way
And I'll take them home and let them show me the way
And sure, I'll like a few, but I'll leave the rest to play
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way
I'm gonna show you how to take me
Go down, go down
And I'll show you how to turn me
Right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on
In a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way
In a different way
I'll show you how to take me
Go down, go down
And I'll show you how to turn me
Right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on
You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like to us what love meant to them
But that's not to say the love we have isn't big or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way

No more I love you's [Annie Lennox]
Doo ba doo ba dop dop dop. Aahh.
Doo ba doo ba dop dop dop. Aahh.
I used to be a lunatic from the gracious days
I used to be woebegone and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed for you to see
Oh, but now
I don't find myself bouncing home
Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words
The lover speaks about the monsters
I used to have demons in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire
So many monsters
Oh, but now
I don't find myself bouncing home
Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me in silence
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words
And people are being real crazy
But we will only come
And you know what mommy?
Everybody was being real crazy
The monsters are crazy.
There are monsters outside
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me in silence
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words
Outside the words
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words
Doo ba doo ba dop dop dop. Aahh.
Doo ba doo ba dop dop dop. Aahh.
Outside the words
Ha ha ha ha

Common people [Pulp]
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. Martin's College
That's where I caught her eye.
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola."
She said "fine"
and then in thirty seconds time she said
"I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you."
Well what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do"
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
So it started there.
I said "Pretend you you've got no money"
She just laughed and said "Oh you're so funny"
I said "Yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like me".
But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your Dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people,
You'll never do whatever common people do,
You'll never fail like common people,
You'll never watch your live slide out of view,
And dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.
Sing along with the common people,
Sing along and it might just get you thru',
Laugh along with the common people,
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.
Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you.
Look out, they'll tear your insides out,
'cos everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah, and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath.
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go.
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why.
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your Dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people,
You'll never do what common people do,
You'll never fail like common people,
You'll never watch your live slide out of view,
And dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you, oh. Yeah.

Do you remember the first time? [Pulp]
You say you've got to go home
`cos he's sitting on his own again this evening
And I know you're going to let him bore your pants off again
Oh now, it's half past eight
you'll be late
You say you've never been sure
though it makes good sense for you to stay together
Still you bought a toy that can reach the places he never goes
and now it's getting late. He's so straight
Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time
But you know that we've changed so much since then
Oh yeah we've grown
Now I don't care what you're doing
No I don't care if you screw him
Just as long as you save a piece for me
Oh yeah now ooh-oh
You say you've got to go home
Well at least there's someone there who you can talk to
And you never have to face up to the night on your own
Jesus it must be great to be straight
Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time
But you know that we've changed so much since then
Oh yeah we've grown
Now I don't care what you're doing
No I don't care if you screw him
Oh just as long as you save a piece for me
Oh yeah ooh-oh
Yeah you wanna go home
Yeah you wanna go home
Yeah you wanna go home
Yeah you wanna go home
Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time
But you know that we've changed so much since then
Oh yeah we've grown
Now I don't care what you're doing
No I don't care if you screw him
Just as long as you save a piece for me
Oh yeah ooh-oh
Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time
But you know that we've changed so much since then
Oh yeah we've grown
Oh now I don't care what you're doing
No I don't care if you screw him
Just as long as you save a piece for me
Oh yeah ooh-oh
You wanna go home.
