(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight
by Cutting Crew

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh , I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should have walked away, I should have walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh , I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must HAVE been some kind of kiss
I should have walked away, I should have walked away

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I knew I was wrong

Oh i, i just died in your arms tonight it must have been something you said, i just died in your arms tonight
i, i just died in your arms tonight it must have been some kind of kiss
i should have walked away, i should have
walked away

I Ran
by A Flock Of Seagulls

I walked along the avenue.
I never thought Id meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

Reached out a hand to touch your face;
Youre slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
Im floating in a beam of light with you;
A beam of light with you.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

Never Stop by Echo and the Bunnymen

Never Stop

by Echo and the Bunnymen

Good God, You said, is that the only thing You care about?

Splitting up the money and share it out

The cake's being eaten straight through the mouth

Poison, poised to come back in season

For all the ones who lack reason

Measure by measure, drop by drop

And pound for pound, we're taking stock

Of all the treasure still unlocked

The love You found must never stop

The king is dead and long live the people who aim above

All the simple stuff never understood

Like right from bad and wrong from good

Deny that You were ever tempted by the lie

That there's an answer in the sky

Measure by measure, drop by drop

And pound for pound, we're taking stock

Of all the treasure still unlocked

The love You found must never stop

Oh, oh, oh, oh

N-n-never stop, n-n-never stop, n-n-never stop

Never stop

Measure by measure, drop by drop

And pound for pound, we're taking stock

Of all the treasure still unlocked

The love You found must never

Measure by measure, drop by drop

And pound for pound, we're taking stock

Of all the treasure still unlocked

The love You found must never stop

Never stop, never stop, never stop

Rescue By Echo and the Bunnymen

Rescue

By Echo & the Bunnymen

If I said I'd lost my way

Would yoy sympathise

Could you sympathise

I'm jumbled up

May be I'm losing my touch

But you know

I didn't have it anyway

Won't you come on down to my

Won't you come on down to my rescue

Things are wrong

Things are going wrong

Can you tell that in a song

Don't you know what I want anymore

First I want a kiss

And then I want it all

Won't you come on down to my

Won't you come on down to my rescue

Rescue, rescue, rescue...

Things are wrong

Things are going wrong

Can you tell that in a song

Losing sense of those harder things

Is this the blues I'm singing

Rescue

Is this the blues I'm singing

Orange Crush
by R.E.M.

Follow me, don’t follow me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
Collar me, don’t collar me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I’ve had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me

[repeat verse]

High on the roof,
Thin the blood,
Another one on the waves tonight,
Comin’ in, you’re home

We’d circle and we’d circle and we’d circle to stop and consider and
Centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and
Our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county
Hell any county it’s just like heaven here and I was remembering and I
Was just in a different county and all then this whirlybird that I
Headed for I had my goggles pulled off I knew it all I knew every back
Road and every truck stop

[repeat verse and chorus]

The One I Love
by R.E.M.

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire (she’s comin’ down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Losing My Religion by R.E.M.

Losing My Religion
by R.E.M.

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

(repeat chorus)

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

Through The Barricades by Spandau Ballet

Through The Barricades
by Spandau Ballet

Mother doesnt know where love has gone
She says it must be youth
That keeps us feeeling strong
See it in her face, thats turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows
The lines of sacrifice
And now I know what theyre saying
When the sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Father made my history
He fought for what he thought
Would set us somehow free
He tought me what to say in school
I learned off by heart
But now thats torn in two
And now I know what theyre saying
In the music of the parade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Born on different sides of life
We feel the same
And feel all of this strife
So come to me when Im asleep
Well cross the line
And dance upon the street
And now I know what theyre saying
When the drums begin to fade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Oh, turn around and Ill be there
Theres a scar through my heart
But Ill bare it again
I thought? we were the human race
But we were just another border-line-case
And the stars reach down and tell us
That theres always one escape
I dont know where love has gone
And in this trouble land
Desperation keep us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose
Theres everything to go
And now I know what theyre are saying
Its a terrible beauty weve made
So we make our love on? wasteland
And through the barricades
Now I know what theyre are saying
As hearts go to their graves
We made our love on? wasteland
And through the barricades.

Gold
by Spandau Ballet

Thank you for coming home
Im sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
These are my salad days
Slowly being eaten away
Just another play for today
Oh but Im proud of you,but Im proud of you
Theres nothing left to make me feel small
Luck has left me standing so tall
Gold
Always believe in your soul
Youve got the power to know
Youre indestructable
Always believe in,because you are
Gold
Glad that youre bound to return
Theres something I could have learned
Youre indestructable,always believe in
After the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
Remember we were partners in crime
Its only two years ago
The man with the suit and the pace
You know that he was there on the case
Now hes in love with you,hes in love with you
And my love is like a prison wall
But you could leave me standing so tall
Gold
Always believe in your soul
Youve got the power to know
Youre indestructable
Always believe in,because you are
Gold
Glad that youre bound to return
Theres something I could have learned
Youre indestructable,always believe in

Heart Of Gold by Johnny Hates Jazz

Heart Of Gold
by Johnny Hates Jazz

Shes a girl who likes her living
Never tired of always giving
Faceless men pay for the pleasure
And the nights go on and on

(chorus)
Walking in the street
For a handful money
Love dont come cheap
With a heart of gold
Shes indiscreet

But to me, girl, its funny
That they pay for the love
Of a girl with a pure
Heart of gold

She aint hungry for a lover
When its over, theres another
Loneliness wont be a problem
When the nights go on and on

(chorus)
But something about her makes me cry
The light is fading from her eyes
Memories of girlish purity
Where love surrenders

...and the nights go on and on

Turn Back The Clock by Johnny Hates Jazz

Turn Back The Clock
by Johnny Hates Jazz

Another day is ended
And I still cant sleep
Remembering my yesterdays
I begin to weep
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldnt change a single day

(chorus)
I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to stop
Back to the days when life was so much better

Lying here in silence
Picture in my hand
Of a boy I still resemble
But I no longer understand
And as the tears run freely
How I realise they were the best years of my life

(chorus)

You might say its just
A case of giving up
No
But without these memories where is the love
Where is the love

If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldnt change a single day

(chorus)

Why cant I turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days
Oh no no
I remember when
Life was so good
Id go back Id I could
Oh oh I wouldnt change a single day
Dont let the memories slip away
I wouldnt change a single day
Dont let the memories slip away

Never Tear Us Apart
by INXS

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
Id make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
cause we all have wings
But some of us dont know why

I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

I've been losing you
by A-ha

It wasn't the rain that washed away...
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly
...almost slowly
Plain for all to see

Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
How can I stop now...
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
...nervously drumming on:Run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind

So, please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now...
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

Crying in the rain
by A-ha

I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
But since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

The Living Daylight
by A-ha

Hey driver
where're we going? I swear my nerves are showing

Set my hopes up way too high
living's in the way we die.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade in rain

Of hundred thousand people I'm the one they frame.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say:
Save the darkness
let it never fade away -
In the living daylights
in the living daylights.

Alright
hold on tight now
it's down
down to the wire

Set your hopes up way too high
living's in the way we die.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away

Hundred thousand changes
everything's the same.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say:
Save the darkness
let it never fade away -
In the living daylights
living daylights
living daylights.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away

Hundred thousand people
I'm the one they frame
In the living daylights
in the living daylights.

Living daylights
- set your hopes up way too high
Living daylights
- living's in the way we die -
Living daylights
- set your hopes up way too high -

The Sun Always Shines On TV
by A-ha

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on T.V
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me...

I Reached inside myself
And found nothing there
To ease the pressure of
My ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me
These Days
Please don't ask me to defend
The shamefull lowlands
Of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time

I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me

Away
by The Bolshoi

We're in love,let's be together
happy times or heavy weather
Mother says, "today's a special day"
So let's not fight, o.k....yeah

When you were at school you were a honey
The boys all loved you, you loved the money
The boys would stare, you'd cross your legs
And then you'd toss your hair

Away
Yes you get by
Away

Money's scarce, but family honor
Brings it home brings it home
And down the shop, the tongues they snicker
TV dinners, beer and liquor...oh yeah

Skeletons fall out of cupboards
Curtains drawn fall open to allow
The light shows up the dust
That plays around your face

(chorus)

Innocence and lies don't make a perfect match
Leave your door unlatched
I know a word can be untrue
And yet still move you

All the time they bring their friends 'round
Dress you up, show you up
And all the time they told you it was true
Well I'll believe you now

But then I just don't know I
Think I have to reconsider, yeah
I know when she got married
She looked fine in white and lacy frills
Oh yeah, she had a baby
It was painful, it was worth it
And all the time they stuck the knife in
Pulled it up and twist it around

(chorus)(x2)

Well that's fine....fine....fine

Wake up, switch on I eat my breakfast
and the picture goes wrong give it a slap,

or I'll miss the epilogue ride high without
a saddle down the rapids on
a boat without a paddle
I am the scourge of the high seas just you watch'em running when they hear about me

chorus:

one two three... hail t.v. watching dirty harry made a man of me here
I stand, t.v.
man I've got all the angels
eating out of my hand...
I got the good, bad and ugly traits but even dirty harry was allowed to make mistakes...
knock, knock, there's someone at the door
I can't imagine, I can't imagine
I can't imagine what they come around here for...
could be the rent...
or h.p. whatever it is they gonna bleed me I've got no money...
nothing to borrow just you go away now, don't come back tomorrow

chorus:
it's so hot here under the sun just him and me and a couple of six guns I look at him he looks at me out comes the guns who will it be...

Sunday Morning
by The Bolshoi

I remember when I was young
Feeling sick on Sunday Morning
I don't wanna do it anymore

Standing in a line with a dirty mind
Clean it up on Sunday Morning
I don't wanna do it anymore

One day a week we turn the cheek (x2)

Chorus:
Oh, how we kneeled down
Oh, we were so quiet
never any light there
I don't care, it's not right there

Get up early, do your hair
Sunday best on Sunday Morning
I don't wanna see it anymore

Tea and toast in the social hall
We had it all on Sunday Morning
I don't wanna see it anymore

Week coming fair, so wash your hair (x2)

(chorus)

Strong to feel, strong to care
You must not steal, you must not swear

(chorus)

I don't wanna do it anymore
I don't wanna see it anymore

April Skies
by Jesus And Mary Chain

Hey honey what you trying to say
As I stand here
Dont you walk away
And the world comes tumbling down
Hand in hand in a violent life
Making love on the edge of a knife
And the world comes tumbling down
And its hard
For me to say
And its hard
For me to stay
Im going down
To be by myself
Im going back
For the good of my health
And theres one thing
I couldnt do
Sacrifice myself to you
Sacrifice
Baby baby I just cant see
Just what you mean to me
I take my aim and I fake my words
Im just your long time curse
And if you walk away
I cant take it
But thats the way that you are
And thats the things that you say
But now youve gone too far
With all the things you say
Get back to where you come from
I cant help it
Under the april skies
Under the april sun
Sun grows cold
Sky gets black
And you broke me up
And now you wont come back
Shaking hand, life is dead
And a broken heart
And a screaming head
Under the april sky

Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
Its good, so good, its so good
So good

Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you

Ill be your plastic toy
Ill be your plastic toy
For you

Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do

Just like honey (x 17)
