Dance, dance, dance - Lykke Li

Having trouble telling
How I feel
But I can dance, dance, dance
Couldn't possibly tell you
How I mean
But I can dance, dance, dance

So when I trip on my feet
Look at the beat
The words are
Written in the sand
When I'm shaking my hips
Look for the swing
The words are
Written in the air

Oh, dance
I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do

Easy conversations
there's no such thing
Oh, I'm shy, shy, shy
My hips they lie
Cause in reality, aye
I'm shy, shy, shy

When I trip on my feet
Look at the ground
The words are
Written in the dust
When I'm shaking my hips
Look for the swing
The words are
Written in the air

Oh, dance
I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do

Oh, dance
I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
Dance, dance, dance

Oh, I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do

Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance

I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Now words can never make up for what you do
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance, dance, dance

Something I need - OneRepublic

I had a dream the other night
About how we only get one life
Woke me up right after two
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn't lose my mind

And I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you could tell
But you're like the net under the ledge
When I go flying off the edge
You go flying off as well

And if you only die once
I wanna die with
You got something I need
In this world full of people
There's one killing me
And if we only die once (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people
There's one killing me
And if we only die once (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you)

Last night I think I drank too much
Call it our temporary crutch, hey
With broken words I've tried to say
Honey, don't you be afraid
If we got nothing we got us

And if you only die once
I wanna die with
You got something I need
In this world full of people
There's one killing me
And if we only die once (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people
There's one killing me
And if we only die once (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

I know that we're not the same
But I'm so damn glad that we made it
To this time, this time around

You got something I need
Yeah, in this world full of people
There's one killing me
And if we only die once
I wanna die with you (hey)
You got something I need
In this world full of people
There's one killing me
And if we only die once (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people
There's one killing me
And if we only die once (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

If we only die once (hey)
I wanna die with
If we only live once
I wanna live with you

In no time - Mutemath

Where’s your heart gone
And where’s your soul?
Where did all of your faith go?
And where’s that old spark, a failure stole?
Well, I bet we’ll find it in no time at all
We’ll find it in no time
We’ll find it in no time
We’ll find it in no time
We’ll find it in no time at all

Where’s your nerve gone
And where’s your hope?
And where’s that sunrise you’ve been waiting for?
And where’s that one day you got it all?
Well, I bet we’ll find it in no time at all
We’ll find it in no time
We’ll find it in no time
We’ll find it in no time
We’ll find it in no time at all

When the wars start falling on the world you had
Just hold tight, in no time we can get it back
When the skies come crashing on the world you had
Just hold tight, in no time we can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back

We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back
We can get it back

A hero comes home - Idina Menzel

Out of the mist of history
He'll come again
Sailing on ships across the sea
To a wounded nation

Signs of a saviour
Like fire on the water
It's what we prayed for
One of our own

Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always a hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always a hero comes home

Deep in the heart of darkness
Sparks a dream of light
Surrounded by hopelessness
He finds the will to fight

There's no surrender
Always remember
It doesn't end here
We're not alone

Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always a hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always a hero comes home

And he will come back
On the crimson tide
Dead or alive
And even though we know
The bridge has burned
He will return
He will return

Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always a hero comes home
He knows of places unknown
But always a hero comes home

Someday they'll carve in stone
"The hero comes home"

He goes and comes back alone
But always a hero comes home

Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always a hero comes home

Somebody to die for - Hurts

I could drag you from the ocean
I could pull you from the fire
And when you're standing in the shadows
I could open up the sky
And I could give you my devotion
Until the end of time
And you will never be forgotten
With me by your side

And I don't need this life
I just need

I've got nothing left to live for
Got no reason yet to die
But when I'm standing in the gallows
I'll be staring at the sky
Because no matter where they take me
Death I will survive
And I will never be forgotten
With you by my side

Cause I don't need this life
I just need
Somebody to die for
Somebody to cry for
When I'm lonely

When I'm standing in the fire
I will look him in the eye
And I will let the devil know that
I was brave enough to die
And there's no hell that he can show me
That's deeper than my pride
Cause I will never be forgotten
Forever I'll fight

And I don't need this life
I just need
Somebody to die for
Somebody to cry for
When I'm lonely

And I don't need this life
I just need
Somebody to die for
Somebody to cry for
When I'm lonely

Don't go gentle into that good night
Rage on against the dying light

Something to talk about (cover) - Jennifer Love Hewitt

People are talking, talking about people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under cover
I just ignore it but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darling

Let's give 'em something to talk about
(Something to talk about)
Let's give 'em something to talk about
(Something to talk about)
Let's give 'em something to talk about
How about love, love?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took the rumor to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced, I'm going under
Thinking about you every day
Dreaming about you every night
I'm hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, darling

Let's give 'em something to talk about
(Something to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
(Something to talk about)
Let's give 'em something to talk about
How about love, love, love?

Let's give 'em something to talk about, babe
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give 'em something to talk about
How about love, love, love?

When boy meets boy - Matt Fishel

I met Marcus sitting at the bar
He was the kind of guy you wanted to kiss
He had the most beautiful piercing eyes
And I-want-to-be-naughty-with-you lips
I’m sat staring at this skateboard-scene
Ska punk-loving guy from Riley’s
And as the rain came down on that sunday night
He went in for the kill with a glint in his eye

“It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy”
That was his opening line
It’s really corny and it makes me laugh sometimes
“It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy”
That was the first thing he said
I just cringed and shook my head

I went with Marcus back to his apartment
Hidden just behind the station (underground)
His walls were covered in posters
Of idols and rock stars who had died too young
I’m sat wondering what the hell I’m doing
With this skateboard punk from Riley’s
And just as I decide I should be making a move
He is standing in the doorway in his birthday suit
(Standing in the doorway in the nude)

“It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy”

What a ridiculous line
It’s kinda tragic but it makes me laugh sometimes
“It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy”
If that was the first thing he said
Then who’s the mug sitting here in his bed

Oh, Marcus, what am I to do?
I’m head over heels for you
I could stay all night
But I’ve gotta stop dreaming and wasting my time
Yet your chest feels like heaven when it’s pressing on mine
Well ok
I’ll stay

I left Marcus sleeping on his mattress with my
Number on his bedside table (and £40)
I paid tribute with a little wink to River Phoenix hanging on the wall
As I’m walking in the rain with my head held high, my phone starts ringing
I saw him again another seven times
And I still hold on to that opening line
(I still can’t get over that line)

“It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy”
What a dumb opening line
But to his credit, it still gets me every time
“It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy”
That was the first thing he said
And now I can’t get him out of my head

It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
(You gotta seize the opportunity whenever you can)
It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy
(And if you need a servicing then Marcus, he is your man)

It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy

Some die young - Laleh

I will tell your story if you die
I will tell your story and keep you alive the best I can
I will tell them to the children
If we have some, if we have some
But I've always felt a feeling we would die young
Some die young
Some die young

Some, some die young
But you better hold on
So many things I need to say to you
Please don't, don't let me go
And we said we would die together

Some die young
But you better hold on
So many things I need to say to you
Please don't, don't let me go
And we said we would die together
Some die young

I will tell your story if you try
But how long will your thoughts of valleys stay green?
When the world you were born in changes with seasons
Will you run with this dream, will you run along?
Or will you run against and finally reveal why some die young?
Why some die young
Why some die

Some die young
But you better hold on
You better hold on
So many things I need to say to you
Please don't, don't let me go
And we said we would die together

Some die young
But you better hold on
So many things I need to say to you
Please don't, don't let me go
And we said we would die together
You said we would die together

Some die young
But you better hold on
But you better hold on
So many things I need to say to you
Please don't, don't let me go
And we said we would die together
Some die young

There's a rumor - The August Empire

There’s a rumor I don’t love you anymore
There’s a rumor that I finally closed the door
I was wrong if I said it, I surely regret it
Reality’s so far away
From all the rumors that I don’t love you anymore

I can put on a good face
Like I’m having a great time
But I’m lost in the crowd, I know it
My heart’s breaking but I’ll never show it

When everybody sees me
I look pretty happy
And when I lay down and close my eyes
You’ll always be right here with me
Yeah, here with me

There’s a rumor that I found somebody else
There’s a rumor that I finally found myself
Without a long lost memory of you holding on to me
Like you’d never let me go
It’s just a rumor that I don’t love you anymore

I can put on a good face
Like I’m having a great time
But I’m lost in the crowd, I know it
My heart’s breaking but I’ll never show it

I wish that you could see me
I look pretty happy
Cause when I lay down and close my eyes
You’ll always be right here with me
Yeah, here with me

There’s a rumor I don’t miss you anymore
And there’s a rumor that I hope you find what you’ve been looking for
I was wrong if I said it, I surely regret it
I just want to let you know
Forget the rumors that I don’t love you anymore

Poor misguided fool - Starsailor

As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call
When you're so sensitive
Its a long way to fall

Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you're all alone
And nobody cares

You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

Whenever you reach for me
I'll be your guide
Whenever you need someone
To keep it inside

Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you're all alone
And nobody cares

You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

I'll be your guide in the morning
You cover up bullet holes

As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call
When you're so sensitive
Its a long way to fall

You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

Young love - Eli Lieb

When I was twenty two
The day that I met you
When you took my hand through the night
It was getting late
And you asked me to stay
And hold you until we see light
You shut the door and turn the lights off
And put up your dukes tonight

Cause this love is getting dangerous
And I need some more tonight
Your touch is contagious
You know what I need tonight
I can't run and I can't hide
I'll be wasted by the light
I'm undone but I'm alive
Don't ever wanna see the morning light

When I was young in love
When you were everything
We'd stay up and drink through the night
Laying on the roof
I put my hands on you
You said our love will never die
You shut the door and turn the lights off
And put up your dukes tonight

Cause this love is getting dangerous
And I need some more tonight
Your touch is contagious
You know what I need tonight
I can't run and I can't hide
I'll be wasted by the light
I'm undone but I'm alive
Don't ever wanna see the morning light

And if we go down with this ship
We go down together
And if we should die tonight
It's you and me forever
Forever you and I
Together until we die
And I'll be right next to you
Even on the other side

This love is getting dangerous
But I need some more tonight
Your touch is contagious
You know what I need tonight
I can't run and I can't hide
I'll be wasted by the light
I'm undone but I'm alive
Don't ever wanna see the morning light

Cause this love is getting dangerous
I need some more tonight
Your touch is contagious
I need some more tonight
I can't run and I can't hide
I need some more tonight
I'm undone but I'm alive
Don't ever wanna see the morning light

When I was twenty two
The day that I met you
When you took my hand through the night

Where I stood - Missy Higgins

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh, and I found myself listening

Cause I don’t know who I am
Who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand
Another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See, I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

Cause I don’t know who I am
Who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand
Another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

And I won't be far from where you are
If ever you should call
You meant more to me
Than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself
And so I say to you
This is what I have to do

Cause I don’t know who I am
Who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand
Another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood

Radio-friendly pop song - Matt Fishel

It’s a pleasure to meet you my friend
Come take a seat at my desk
I gotta tell ya, kid
The whole team is more than impressed
Your melodies soar
And all of your choruses shine
The lyrics are sound
And your voice is fundamentally fine

But face it, if you wanna make it onto radio
Kid, you gotta do as I say
Change all the “hims” into “hers”
And just don’t tell the world that you’re
Shh!

Happy to help, take my card
Please think about what I’ve said
But this is an industry where people make money
So your art has to sell
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
And you should never seek to challenge an audience
They buy what they’re told
And we never get it wrong
Go write us a non-offensive, tasteful, conventional song
Like this one

Girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it should be
Forever

Welcome to tinsel town
Kid, I’m gonna make you a star
You got the fire in your gut
And everything that you need to go far
You’re a talented guy
You could shake Hollywood to the ground
And with us on your side
Plus your looks
You’re gonna conquer this town

But face it, if you wanna break into this business
Kid, you gotta play the part
And you’ll never play a leading man
If you let onto your fans the truth about who you are
Just remember that

Girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it has been
Forever

Yeah, girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it will be
Forever

On the radio
In Hollywood
On the TV-shows
For the greater good
He said, “Think about the children
Think about the children”

You wanted me to write a hit record for the radio
Are you never gonna get it?
The kids already know

Some girls like girls
Some boys got a boyfriend
I like guys and they like me
We hold hands, make-out
And do all the things that lovers do

Some girls like girls
Some boys got a boyfriend
I like guys and they like me
We hold hands, make-out
And do all the things that lovers do

Some girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it has been
Forever

Yeah, some girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it will be
Whatever

St. Christopher - Michael Logan

Calling on St. Christopher
Gonna need some help tonight
For the long, dark road ahead
On my way back to the light

Cause the path is so unclear
And I'm not sure who to be
All I know is I can't stay here
Won't you please watch over me?

Cause I'm on my way
Yes, I'm on my way
Yeah, I'm on my way now

It can get so lonely here
Still I know I'm not alone
Do we learn to face our fears
Before they carve our names in stone?
Names in stone

Well, I'm on my way
Yeah, I'm on my way
Well, I'm on my way now

Calling on St. Christopher
Gonna need some help tonight

Good enough - Lifehouse

It seems the more we talk
The less I have to say
Let’s put our differences aside

Wanted to make you proud
But I just got in your way
I found a place that I can hide

Now everything is changing
But I still feel the same
We're running out of time

What do I have to do?
To try and make you see
That this is who I am
And it's all that I can be

I try to find myself
Looking inside your eyes
You're all that I wanted to be

There must be something else
Behind all the lies
That you wanted me to believe

Now everyone is saying
That I should find a way
To leave it all behind

What do I have to do?
To try and make you see
That this is who I am
And it's all that I can be

What do I have to do?
To try and make you see
Trying to be like you
Isn't good enough for me

And I won’t let you go
And I won’t let you down
And I won’t give you up
Don't you give up on me now

What do I have to do?
To try and make you see
That this is who I am
And it's all that I can be

What do I have to do?
To try and make you see
Trying to be like you
Isn't good enough for me

What do I have to do?
To try and make you see

Sad - Maroon 5

Man, it's been a long day
Stuck thinking about it, driving on the freeway
Wondering if I really tried everything I could
Not knowing if I should try a little harder
Oh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess that I'm only holding on by a thin, thin thread

I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have
I'm so sad, sad

Man, it's been a long night
Just sitting here, trying not to look back
Still looking at the road we never drove on
And wondering if the one I chose was the right one
Oh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess that I'm only holding on by a thin, thin thread

I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have
I'm so sad, sad
I'm so sad, so sad

Oh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess that I'm only holding on by a thin, thin thread

I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have
And I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
I'm so sad, so sad
