We are all made of stars [Moby]
Growing in numbers
Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Slow slow slow, come come
Someone come come come
Even love is goin' 'round
You can't ignore what is goin' 'round
Slowly rebuilding
I feel it in me
Growing in numbers
Growing in peace
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together (People they come together)
People they fall apart (People they fall apart)
No one can stop us now (No one can stop us now)
'Cause we are all made of stars (We are all made of stars)
'Cause we are all made of stars (People they come together)
'Cause we are all made of stars (People they fall apart)
'Cause we are all made of stars (No one can stop us now)
'Cause we are all made of stars (We are all made of stars)
People they come together
People they come together

The Ketchup Song (Asereje) [Las Ketchup]
Friday night it's party time
Feeling ready looking fine
Viene diego rumbeando
With the magic in his eyes
Checking every girl in sight
Grooving like he does the mambo
He's the man alli en la disco
Playing sexy felling hotter
He's the king bailando el ritmo ragatanga
And the DJ that he knows well
On the spot always around twelve
Plays the mix that diego mezcla con la salsa
Y la baila and he dances y la canta
Aserejé, ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva majavi an de bugui an de buididipí
Aserejé, ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva majavi an de bugui an de buididipí
Aserejé, ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva majavi an de bugui an de buididipí
Many think its brujeria
How he comes and disappears
Every move will hypnotize you
Some will call it chuleria
Others say that it's the real
Rastafari afrogitano
He's the man alli en la disco
Playing sexy felling hotter
He's the king bailando el ritmo ragatanga
And the DJ that he knows well
On the spot always around twelve
Plays the mix that diego mezcla con la salsa
Y la baila and he dances y la canta
Aserejé, ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva majavi an de bugui an de buididipí
Aserejé, ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva majavi an de bugui an de buididipí
Aserejé, ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva majavi an de bugui an de buididipí
Na Na Na...
Aserejé, ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva majavi an de bugui an de buididipí ...

Sound of the underground [Girls Aloud]
Disco dancing with the lights down low
Beats are pumping on the stereo
Neighbours banging on the bathroom wall
Your sayin 'crank the bass I gotta get some more'
Waters runnin' in the wrong direction
Got a feelin' its a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Something funny's goin' on inside my mind
Don't know what is pushin' me higher
Its the static from the floor below
Then it drops and catches like a fire
Its a sound I, Its a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
Its the sound of the under-
Sound of the underground
Chain reaction running through my veins
Pumps the bass line up into my brains
Screws my mind until I lose control
And when the building rocks I know It's got my soul
Waters runnin' in the wrong direction
Got a feelin' it's a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Something funny's goin' on inside my mind
Don't know what is pushin' me higher
Its the static from the floor below
Then it drops and catches like a fire
Its a sound I, Its a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
I don't know what is pushin' me higher
It's the static from the floor below
And then it drops and catches like fire
It's a sound I, Its a sound I
It's a sound I, Its a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
Its the sound of the under-
Sound of the underground
The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
It's the sound of the under-
Sound of the underground
The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
It's the sound of the under-
Sound of the underground

Sk8er boi [Avril Lavigne]
He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say
He wanted her
She'd never tell
That secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
And they had a problem with his baggy clothes
He was a skater boy
She said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to Earth
Five years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby, she's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy, rockin' up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along
And stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
He was a skater boy
She said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth
He was a skater boy
She said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck, that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that she couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy
And I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock each other's world
I'm with the skater boy
I said see ya later boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
I'm with the skater boy
I said see ya later boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

Family portrait [Pink]
Uh, uh, Oooh yeah
Momma please stop cryin, I can’t stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you said
You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain’t easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you’ll see
I don’t want love to destroy me like it has done my family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Mommy I’ll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Daddy please don’t leave
Daddy please stop yellin, I can’t stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says it's true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love you, too
I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don’t wanna go back to that place, but don’t have no choice, no way
It ain’t easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don’t want love to destroy me like it did my family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Mommy I’ll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Daddy please don’t leave
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let’s play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally
I don’t wanna have to split the holidays
I don’t want two addresses
I don’t want a step-brother anyways
And I don’t want my mom to have to change her last name
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally
In our family portrait (Can we work it out?)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal (I promise I’ll be better)
Let's go back to that (Mommy I’ll do anything)
In our family portrait (Can we work it out?)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend (I promise I’ll be better)
And act like it comes so naturally (Daddy please don't leave)
In our family portrait (Can we work it out?)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal (I promise I’ll be better)
Let's go back to that (Daddy please don't leave)
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave
Turn around please
Remember that the night you left you took my shining star?
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave
Don't leave us here alone
Mom will be nicer
I’ll be so much better
I’ll tell my brother
Oh, I won’t spill the milk at dinner
I’ll be so much better
I’ll do everything right
I’ll be your little girl forever
I’ll go to sleep at night

Lose yourself [Eminem]
Look. If you had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment. Would you capture it or just let it slip
Yo
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down
The whole crowd goes so loud.
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how everybody's joking now
The clocks run out. Times up. Over. Plow!
Snap back to reality
Oh! There goes gravity
Oh! There goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy
No, he won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It dont matter, he's dope. He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant he knows when he goes back to this mobile home, thats when it's back to the lab again.
Yo, this whole rap city, he better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment you own it you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment you own it you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
The souls escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king as we move toward a new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over. These hoas is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoas don't want him no more, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on. Da da dum da dum
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment you own it you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment you own it you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwriting the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact that I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus see disorder
Caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama screaming on and too much for me to wanna stay in one spot
Another day of monotony's gotten me to the point
I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot, or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer has got to go - I cannot grow old in Salems lot
So here I go, it's my shot. Feet fail me not, this maybe the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment you own it you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment you own it you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You can do anything you set your mind to, man

In the end [Linkin Park]
It starts with {One} thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to exxpplain in due time
{All I know}
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
{It's so unreal}
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
{Watch you go}
I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time...
{I tried so hard} and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
One thing I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
{I tried so hard}
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your propertttty
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it
{got so far}
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
{In the end}
You kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when...
{I tried so hard} and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
For all this there's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
For all this there's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter

Here it comes again [Melanie C]
Hey don't you worry
Everything's all right you know
We're gonna be just fine
If the rain crashes down over you
I will love you dry
There is nobody in this world
could ever take me away from you
I am always by your side
If you need someone to guide you dear
I'd like to try
Don't give up on something
You've never had before
[Never thought that we would together]
I promise you this
You're the one I adore
Here it comes again
Filling my soul
Never want to let go
Here it comes again
Be at one with your love
As below so above
Here it comes again
My love is flowing
Freer than a waterfall
Beyond the edge of time
Surrender to the emotion
Now we can fly, we can fly
And you know there's a reason
That we are who we are
[Who we are]
I cannot resist
You're the one I adore
Here it comes again
Filling my soul
Never want to let go
Here it comes again
Be at one with your love
As below so above
Here it comes again
Just like there's always gonna be a place for you and me
A ship that we can sail on
Just like if one and one were three
And everything was free at the end of some rainbow
Just like a needle and a gun
A suckle in the sun or knock upon a hidden door
It is you I adore
Here it comes again
Filling my soul
Never want to let go
Here it comes again
Be at one with your love
As below so above
Feel it coming again
Filling my soul
Never want to let go
Here it comes again
Be at one with your love
As below so above
Yeah Yeah
