Lyrics
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
Queensryche
Silent Lucidity
Empire
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you, right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
Both Sides Now
Joni Mitchell
The deeper I spin
The hunter will sin ... for your ivory skin ...
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing
At you and me ...
Halluijah, heavens white rose
The doors you open
I just can't close
U2
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?
Achtung Baby
So many years come and gone
And yet the memory is strong
One word we never could learn
Good-bye
True love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you'll be mine
I will remember you
Amy Grant
I Will Remember You
Heart in Motion
You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock n' roll is our epiphany
Culture, boredom, alienation and despair
Manic Street Preachers
Little Baby Nothing
Generation Terrorists
But you know you got to stick to your guns
When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win
Tails you're gonna lose
Poison
Fallen Angel
Open Up and Say Ahh...
Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Maureen McGovern
I've Never Been To Me
Too late my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine body's aching all the time
Goodbye ev'rybody I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama ooh I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
. . .
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
Journey
Faithfully
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
. . .
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true
Alphaville
Forever Young
Forever Young
Now it almost seems incredible
We've laughed too loud, and woke up everyone
I may be wrong, but I thought we said
It couldn't happen here

Actually
Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
Bryan Adams
Heaven
How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like a blue suburban sky
When I come home late at night
And you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe
I don't need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Warrant
Heaven
Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich
I wonder why I feel so high
Though I am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted
Till you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening
I'll run to meet you
Barefoot barely breathing
Sophie B. Hawkins
As I Lay Me Down
Whaler
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles,
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die?
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot
The whole day down.
The Boomtown Rats
I Don't Like Mondays
Stalking in the shadows by the light of the moon
It's like a prison and the night is a cell
Going anywhere has gotta be heaven tonight
Cause staying here has gotta be hell
Dying in the city like a fire on the water
Let's go runnin' on the back of the wind
There's gotta be some action on the face of the earth
And I've gotta see your face once again
And I don't know where I ever got the bright idea that I was cool
So alone and independent
But I'm depending on you now
And you'll always be the only thing that I just can't be without
And I'm out for you tonight
I'm coming out for you tonight
Fire Inc.
Nowhere Fast
Streets of Fire soundtrack
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Queen
Under Pressure
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
When In Rome
The Promise
Lying smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple everytime
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and simple everytime
Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There's stardust in my head
Pure and simple everytime
Fresh and deep as oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
Pure and simple over you
The Lightning Seeds
Pure
Cloud Cuckoo Land
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be
Someday we'll find it

It was always summer and the future called
We were ready for adventure and we wanted them all
And there was so much left to dream
And so much time to make it real

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His mamma said he was crazy - he said, "Mamma I've got to try"
Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away
Bon Jovi

These Days
Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
Bob Geldof and Midge Ure
Do They Know It's Christmas?
Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again and again and again

Hold An Old Friend's Hand
Hold An Old Friend's Hand
So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets
. . .
Oh turn around and I'll be there
There's a scar right through my heart but I'll bear it again
Oh I thought we were the human race
But we were just another borderline case
And the stars reach down and tell us there's always one escape

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God has a sick sense of humour
And when I die I expect to find him laughing

When she cries at night
And she doesn't think that I can hear her
She tries to hide
All the fear she feels inside
So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
Cause I die a little each time when she cries

Big Iron Horses
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment, and beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again

Hey there's not a cloud in the sky
It's as blue as your goodbye
And I thought that it would rain
On a day like today
Hey there's not a cloud in sight
It's as blue as your blue goodbye
And I thought that it would rain
The day you went away
He's on the buses and the aeroplanes
With some groceries and a sleeping bag

Let us try to live our lost illusions
They're the sun at night
If we don't we'll never taste
The spice of life
And when it seems that we're in a dead end street
There's no reason to cry
Cause we have a helping hand who's always aside

So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

Let's all meet up in the year 2000
Won't it be strange what we're all fully grown?
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you'd get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago

I wanna ride on the crest of sensation
I wanna scream in the whirlpools of love
I wanna drown in a climax of thunder
I wanna be with the fools in the storm
Do what you want and then die when you want to
We're gonna walk on the blood of the meek
We're gonna sail through the oceans of wonder
We're gonna live in the dream that we seek

We'll crucify the insincere tonight

I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby

Use Your Illusion 2
I never thought you'd hurt me
I guess you live and learn
That when you're playing with fire you're bound to get burned
I've been mistreated, I've been used before
I get kicked in the face, still I come back for more
Firehouse
Don't Treat Me Bad
Sometimes you laugh sometimes you cry
And yes, I've cried over you
You've left me blind in paradise
You've left me hungering for the touch of you

In the blackness of the night
Never is a long time...

All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear

When we see the early signs that daylight's fading

Feel the breeze?
Time's so near you can almost taste the freedom
There's a warm wind from the south
Hoist the sail and we'll be gone
By morning this will all seem like dream
And if I don't return to sing the song
Maybe just as well
I've seen the news and there's
Not much I can't do ... alone

I hear pounding feet in the streets below
And the women crying and the children know
That there's something wrong
And it's hard to believe that love will prevail
Oh it won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall forever

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

I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style

Don't be alarmed, no don't be concerned
I don't want to change things
Leave them just as they were
I mean, nothing's really different
It's me who feels strange
I'm always lost for words
When someone mentions your name
I know that I'll get over this for sure
I'm not the type who dreams there could be more
