Tanita Tikaram – Twist in My Sobriety

All God's children need traveling shoes

Drive your problems from here

All good people read good books

Now your conscience is clear

I hear you talk girl

Now your conscience is clear

In the morning when I wipe my brow

Wipe the miles away

I like to think I can be so willed

And never do what you say

I'll never hear you

And never do what you say

[Chorus:]

Look my eyes are just holograms

Look your love has drawn red from my hands

From my hands you know you'll never be

More than twist in my sobriety

We just poked a little empty pie

For the fun that people had at night

Late at night don't need hostility

The timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts

Different thoughts are good for me

Up in arms and chaste and whole

All God's children took their toll

[Chorus:]

Look my eyes are just holograms

Look your love has drawn red from my hands

From my hands you know you'll never be

More than twist in my sobriety

Cup of tea take time to think yeah

Time to risk a life a life a life

Sweet and handsome soft and porky

You pig out 'til you've seen the light

Pig out 'til you've seen the light

Half the people read the papers

Read them good and well

Pretty people nervous people

People have got to sell

News you have to sell

[Chorus:]

Look my eyes are just holograms

Look your love has drawn red from my hands

From my hands you know you'll never be

More than twist in my sobriety

Ken Wilbard – Sing, Sing A Song

Katie Melua - When You Taught Me How To Dance

When you taught me how to dance
Years ago, with misty eyes,
Every step and silent glance,
Every move, a sweet surprise.
Someone must have taught you well,
To beguile and to entrance,
For that night you cast your spell,
And you taught me how to dance.

Like reflections in a lake
I recall what went before.
As I give, I’ll learn to take,
And will be alone no more
Other lights may light my way
I may even find romance;
But I won’t forget that night
When you taught me how to dance

Cold winds blow, but up on those hills you’ll find me
And I know you’re walking right behind me,

When you taught me how to dance
Years ago, with misty eyes,
Every step and silent glance,
Every move, a sweet surprise.
Someone must have taught you well,
To beguile and to entrance,
For that night you cast your spell,
And you taught me how to dance.

Suzi Quatro & Chris Norman - Stumblin' In

Chorus:
Our love is alive and so we begin
Foolishly layin' our hearts on the table,
stumblin' in
Our love is a flame burnin' within
Now and then fire light will catch us,
stumblin' in

Chris:
Wherever you go, whatever you do
You know these reckless thoughts of mine
are followin' you

Suzi:
I've fallen for you, whatever you do
'Cause baby you've shown me so many things
that I never knew
Whatever it takes, baby, I'll do it for you

Chorus

Chris:
You were so young, ah, but I was so free

Suzi:
I may have been young but baby, that's not
what I wanted to be

Chris:
Well you were the one

Suzi:
Oh why was it me?

Chris:
'Cause baby you've shown me so many things
that I'd never seen
Whatever you need, baby, you got it from me

Chorus

Sinner's Sonnet

Listen to the songs and see what transformation can come about with time.

The Iguana Song

Hope you'll enjoy this full of flaming optimism song.

Jason Webley. Dance While The Sky Crashes Down

What is this song about? Leave your commentaries.

The flowers by your bed are wilting.
The sun is setting in the west.
A fog is covering your eyes,
Your stockings are attracting flies,
Decay is nibbling at the boards on which you rest.

There's someone waiting at your window,
Familiar face without a name.
One night he'll creep in like the mist,
To touch your forehead with a kiss,
And lead you back into the void from whence we came.

We've all begun to die, and don't know what to do.
Since it hurts to pray to God, when God is dying too.
Takes strength to laugh, when you start to drown.
And we dance while the sky crashes down.

Like that the earth begins to quiver,
And all the oceans turn to black.
A ship of maniacs with knives,
Are playing Blackjack with their lives,
To kill the time until the giant rats attack.

It's raining leprosy and acid.
The saints were taken out and shot.
When someone proffers you a pear,
You sink your teeth in unaware,
That just beneath the skin lies pestilence and rot.

We've all begun to die, and don't know what to do.
Since it hurts to pray to God, when God is dying too.
Takes strength to laugh, when you start to drown.
And we dance while the sky crashes down.

All that now breathes, and all that you love,
All that we weave, will find its way back to the dust.

A band of skeletons are playing,
Don't act like you don't know the tune.
Your part is echoed in the path,
Of every dead leaf blowing past,
Against a counterpoint reflected off the moon.

There is a banquet at the table,
Exotic cheeses wines and cakes.
And every one of us is damned,
Until we start to understand,
That living is to gorge ourselves at our own wakes.

We've all begun to die, and don't know what to do.
Since it hurts to pray to God, when God is dying too.
Takes strength to laugh, when you start to drown.
And we dance while the sky crashes down.

When the stakes are high, best to play the clown.
And we dance while the sky crashes down.

Katie Melua - If You Were A Sailboat

Scorpions: Maybe I, Maybe You

Maybe I, maybe you 
Can make a change to the world 
We're reaching out for a soul 
That's kind of lost in the dark 

Maybe I maybe you 
Can find the key to the stars 
To catch the spirit of hope 
To save one hopeless heart 

You look up to the sky 
With all those questions in mind 
All you need is to hear 
The voice of your heart 
In a world full of pain 
Someone's calling your name 
Why don't we make it true 
Maybe I, maybe you 

Maybe I, maybe you 
Are just dreaming sometimes 
But the world would be cold 
Without dreamers like you 

Maybe I, maybe you 
Are just soldiers of love 
Born to carry the flame 
Bringin' light to the dark 

You look up to the sky 
With all those questions in mind 
All you need is to hear 
The voice of your heart 
In a world full of pain 
Someone's calling your name 
Why don't we make it true 
Maybe I, maybe you

Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Alexa Vega "Game Over"

Amy MacDonald "This Is the Life"

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people, they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls
With the curls in their hair
While the shocked too
Many just sit way over there
And the songs they get louder   
Each one better than before

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go?
And where you're gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
