WONDERFUL WORLD
Sam Cooke
Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about a science book Don't know much about the French I took But I do know that I love you And I know that if you love me too What a wonderful world this would be Don't know much about geography Don't know much trigonometry Don't know much about algebra Don't know what a slide rule is for. But I do know that one and one is two, And if this one could be with you, What a wonderful world this would be. Now i don't claim to be an "A" student, But I'm trying to be. So maybe by being an "A" student baby I can win your love for me. Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about a science book Don't know much about the French I took. But I do know that I love you, And I know that if you love me too, What a wonderful world this would be. Latatatatatatahuwaah (history) Oehwoewoe (biology) Latatatatatatahuwaah (science book) Oehwoewoe (French I took) But I do know that I love you, And I know that if you love me too,
What a wonderful world this would be.

Bill Withers
Ain't No Sunshine
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. It's not warm when she's away. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away. Wonder this time where she's gone, Wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away. And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone, But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away.

Let's roll onto something newTaking its toll and I'm leaving without youReady? Let's roll onto something newBut heaven ain't close in a place like thisAnything goes but don't blink you might miss Cause heaven ain't close in a place like thisI said heaven ain't close in a place like thisBring it back down, bring it back down tonightNever thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight Well somebody told meYou had a boyfriendWho looks like a girlfriendThat I had in February of last yearIt's not confidentialI've got potentialA rushin', a rushin' around Pace yourself from meI said maybe baby pleaseBut I just don't know now Somebody told meYou had a boyfriendWho looks like a girlfriendThat I had in February of last yearIt's not confidentialI've got potentialA rushin', a rushin' around

GREEN DAY
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to do.So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.I hope you had the time of your life.So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.I hope you had the time of your life.I hope you had the time of your life.

MARROON 5
She Will Be Loved Lyrics

Beauty Queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I had you so many times
But somehow I want more

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner, in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
I ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window
Knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn’t matter anymore
It’s not always rainbows and butterflies
Its compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door is always open
You can come anytime you want

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner, in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window
Knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don’t mind spending every day
Out on your corner, in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye
Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah, I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner, in the pouring rain
Try so hard to say goodbye

FIVE FOR FIGHTING
Album: Easy Tonight
Superman

I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive I'm just out to find The better part of me I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane More than some pretty face beside a train It's not easy to be me Wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I'll never see It may sound absurd...but don't be naive Even Heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed...but won't you concede Even Heroes have the right to dream It's not easy to be me Up, up and away...away from me It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight I'm not crazy...or anything... I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive Men weren't meant to ride With clouds between their knees I'm only a man in a silly red sheet Digging for kryptonite on this one way street Only a man in a funny red sheet Looking for special things inside of meinside of meinside meYeah, inside meinside of meI'm only a manin a funny red sheetI'm only a manlooking for a dreamI'm only a manin a funny red sheetand its not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...Its not easy to be me

Album: Home

I took my love and I took it downClimbed a mountain then I turned aroundAnd I saw my reflection in the snow covered hillsWell the landslide brought me downOh, mirror in the skyWhat is love?Can the child within my heart rise aboveCan I sail through the changing ocean tidesCan I handle the seasons of my lifeUh ah ... uh ah .... uh ah ...Well, I've been afraid of changin''Cause I built my life around youBut time makes you bolderChildren get olderI'm getting older tooWell ...(Instrumental)Well, I've been afraid of changin''Cause I built my life around youBut time makes you bolderChildren get olderI'm getting older tooWell, I'm getting older tooSo, take this love and take it downYeah, and if you climb a mountain and ya turn aroundAnd If you see my reflection in the snow covered hillsWell the landslide brought me downIf you see my reflection in the snow covered hillsWell maybe ... Well maybe ... Well maybe ... The landslide will bring you down.

Parody of Survivors Song
Words & Music by Julia Ecklar
www.songworm.com

Tell me about love. Tell me of mobility.Fertility, agility.Tell me that the lines I see are signs of our maturity,How wisdom in our waning yearsWill help us through that change of gears.Yes, tell me now.
Tell me that we're young. Tell me we're at least in love.We'll get some to grow tired of.Tell me why we've waited for what lies behind the bedroom door.Tell me that the face I see is not the work of toiletry.Yes, tell me now.
Tell me about love. Tell me that securityIs all that it's cracked up to be.That we have versatility.That love uniting you and me will transend our mortality,That rotting teeth and spreading waistWill not conspire to make us chaste.That lust can be alive again, we can stay awake to try again.Tell me that senility won't fill us with hostility,Tell me in three decades that you'll be something worth looking at.You'll be nothing worth looking at, so tell me nowThat I am.
