Sweet Child O' Mine
By: Guns N' Roses


She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
 
R.E.O. Speedwagon

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship
Has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
`Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction,
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the wind
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

`Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running `round in circles in my mind.
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
`Cause you take me to the places
That I'd known I'd never find

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the wind
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
 
Beds Are Burning
Midnight Oil


Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
>From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent, ah, to pay our share
The time has come, ah, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while the beds are burning

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
 
Sign Your Name
By: Terence Trent D'Arby


Fortunately you have got
Someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms are so deep
It is so much too late to turn away
We started out as friends

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Time I'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When your gambling cards on love you play
I'd rather be in Hell with you baby
Than in cool Heaven
It seems to be the way

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is gone
But oh the light shines brighter
On a peaceful day
Stranger blue leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain

All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the Earth rotates
To our dictates
Slowly we make love

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady
 
FOR MYST

Toy Soldiers
By: Martika


(Step by step, heart to heart)
(Left right left, we all fall down)
(Like toy soldiers)

It wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should have been this way
What can I say
It's true, I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay

When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes, takes the fall
(Won't you come out and play with me)

Step by step, heart to heart (heart to heart)
Left right left, we all fall down (fall down)
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit (bit by bit), torn apart (torn apart)
We never win but the battle rages on
For toy soldiers

It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be (how can it be)
How could I be so blind to this addiction
If I don't stop, the next one is gonna be me

Only emptiness remains
It replaces all of the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me)

Step by step, heart to heart (heart to heart)
Left right left, we all fall down (fall down)
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit (bit by bit), torn apart (torn apart)
We never win but the battle rages on
For toy soldiers

We never win

Only emptiness remains
It replaces all of the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me)

Step by step, heart to heart (heart to heart)
Left right left, we all fall down (fall down)
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit (bit by bit), torn apart (torn apart)
We never win but the battle rages on
For toy soldiers
(REPEAT TO FADE)
 
okay, i'm outtie y'all... someone else can take my place. Cheeeeeeef? I know you want to. ;)
 
DEAD OR ALIVE

You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)



If I, I get to know your name
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
I want some,want some

I set my sights on you
(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're having fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch,out here I come

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

I got to be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in a little bit closer

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch out, here I come

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round...
 
DEPECHE MODE

Just Can't Get Enough



When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough

We walk together
We're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

Everytime I think of you
I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

It's getting harder, it's a burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough

I Just can't get enough...
And when it rains
You're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
And I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

You're like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough

THE GRATEFUL DEAD
Touch of Grey


Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Faint light of the morning sky
looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care, cuz
It's alright

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

I see you've got your fist out
Say your piece and get out
Yes I get the gist of it, but It's alright
Sorry that you feel that way
The only there is to say:
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

It's a lesson to me
The eagles and the beggars and the seas
The ABC's we all must face
Try to keep a little grace

It's a lesson to me
The deltas and the east and the freeze
The ABC's we all think of
And try to win a little love

I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but
It's alright
Cows giving kerosene
Kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but
It's alright

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

The shoe is on the hand that fits.
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, cuz
It's alright
Oh well, a touch of grey
Kinda suits you anyway
And that was all I had to say, and
It's alright

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive

We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive

Angel Eyes


Girl you're lookin' fine tonight
And every guy has got you in his sight
What you're doin' with a clown like me
Is surely one of life's little mysteries

*So tonight, I'll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love
What did I do, what did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way

Well I'm the guy who never learned to dance
Never even got one second glance
Across the clouded room was close enough
I could look but I could never touch

Chorus

Don't anyone wake me if it's just a dream
'Cause she's the best thing that ever happened to me
All you fellows you can look all you like
But this girl you see is leaving here with me tonight

There's just one more thing that I need to know
If this is love why does it scare me so
There must be something only you can see
'Cause girl I feel it when you look at me

Chorus

Photograph

I'm outa luck, outa love
Gotta photograph, picture of
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 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
I gotta have you

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 more
Photograph - I'm outa love
Photograph - I'm outa luck
Photograph - You're the only one
Photograph - I wanna touch
