Playing with the Boys- From Top Gun, by Kenny Loggins

I'd say it was the right time to walk away
When dreamin takes you nowhere
It's time to play
Bodies workin overtime
Your money don't matter
The time keeps tickin
When someone's on your mind...on your mind

I'm movin in slow motion
Feels so good
It's a strange anticipation
Knock, knock, knockin on wood
Bodies workin overtime
Man against man
And all that ever matters is baby who's ahead in the game
Funny but it's always the same

(Chorus)
Playin, playin with the boys
Stayin, playin with the boys
After chasin sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playin with the boys

Said it was the wrong thing for me to do
I said it's just a boys' game
But girls play too
My heart is workin overtime
In this kind of game
People get hurt
I'm thinkin that the people is me
If you wanna find me I'll be

(Chorus)
Playin, playin with the boys
Stayin, playin with the boys
After chasin sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playin with the boys

I don't wanna be the moth around your fire
I don't wanna be obsessed by my desire
I'm ready, I'm leavin
I've seen enough
You play too rough

(Chorus)
Playin, playin with the boys
Stayin, playin with the boys
After chasin sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playin with the boys

A Million Miles Away
Klaatu

They used to tell me that I was just a fool
Dreaming away my time
But they soon found the more they put me down
The more I blocked them from my mind
I used to get my teacher so uptight
He'd always have to ask his questions twice

I'd be a million miles away
Drifting through time and space
I was a million miles away from any place
I was a million miles away
In a world of my own
A million miles away to parts unknown
I'd be gone

My end-of-term reports would always show
I did pretty well at school
But I kept them hid from all the other kids
I didn't want to seem uncool
My homeroom teacher didn't understand
The reason why I never raised my hand

I was a million miles away
In a world of my own
A million miles away in parts unknown
I'd be gone

I've flown across the galaxies
And been to Berkeley Square
I've passed the time with Sophocles
But never left my chair

But I'm a million miles away
Drifting through time and space
A million miles away from any place
A million miles away
I've built a world all my own
A million miles away to parts unknown
I'd be gone
A million miles away

"21st Century (Digital Boy)"

I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes
Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah
And I don't want it, the things you're offering me
Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it, the things you're saying to me
It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

Tried to tell you about no control
But now I really don't know
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer
Is that really all you have to offer?

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

Bipolar
by Blonde Redhead

Say wrong
I won't say anything...anyway
Fake can be just as good

Place you've never been
Patience on the way
Place you've never been
No way...anyway

Why then
You renew in so many ways
How far
Fake can be no flaw on the way
I know
I'm just a flaw...anyway
so I
**** some space...and come back

I know good walk away
I need to shut away
What I throw away
I want your way

I know I get away anyway
I know it's hard to get ahead, boy

Say wrong
I won't say anything...anyway
Fake can be just as good

Place you've never been
Patience on the way
Place you've never been
No way...anyway

I know a man is somewhere..where?
Here I am, shot it again

I know you'd walk away
I need to shout away
What I throw away
I want your way

My Secret Origin
Ookla The Mok

There was a boy who knew he could be anything that he wanted to.
Everybody told him he had a singular destiny.
Everybody said he'd go far
Everybody said he'd be a star.
They said he could be anything he wanted to be
Then he turned into me.
Now it seems increasingly unlikely that I'm gonna grow up to be Luke Skywalker
Not gonna be Indiana Jones.
And after all this time it's probably not gonna turn out that I’m the super-powered heir to a world that isn't there anymore.
But somebody told me I was special.
Somebody told me that I could be anything I wanted to be.
How could they have known the dreams I had were not the dreams they had for me?
They said I could be what I wanted
They had no idea what I wanted.
And I don't mean to seem ungrateful for all their encouragement and praise.
I just meant to say that I don't intend to stay and spend another wasted year
Cause at the end I bet I'd still be sitting here wasting time and waiting.
I'm waiting for my Lady of the Lake to come and crown me King.
I'm waiting for my rocket to land so I can get my power ring.
I'm waiting for my radioactive meteorite to fall.
I'm waiting but I ain’t got no meteorite at all.
I'm waiting for my story to begin.
I'm waiting for my
I'm not done.
Don't count me out of it
My story isn't over yet.
I'm not the son of some Roman god
But anyway
I think I'm gonna be okay.
And looking back I find it seems
I've always had unlikely dreams
But I can't let that stop me now,
It's time to grow up anyhow.
And I may not be Hercules
But here's my new philosophy:

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

HEAVEN KNOWS I'M MISERABLE NOW /THE SMITHS (you know we have issues with our jobs and this is definitely my song about ALL the jobs i've had
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die

Two lovers entwined pass me by
and heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been the house too long" she said
and I naturally fled

In my life
why do I smile
at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been the house too long" she said
and I naturally fled

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die

DIFFERENT PEOPLE - NO DOUBT

Things can be broken down
In this world of ours
You don’t have to be a famous person
Just to make your mark
A mother can be an inspiration
To here little son
Change his thoughs, his mind, his life,
Just with her gentle hum
So different, yet so the same
Two sisters only have their parents to blame
It’s rare that two can get along
But when they do, they’re inseparable
Such a blessing comes to few

The sky is full of clouds and
My world’s full of people
All different kinds with different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
No one’s exactly the same

He and she, two different people
With two separate lives
Then you put the two together
And get a spectacular surprise
’cause one can teach the other one
What she doesn’t know
While still the other fills a place inside
He never knew had room to grow

Chorus
Once in a while I sit back
And think about the planet
Most of the time I trip on it
To kick back and think about
How massive it all is
And how many others are one it

I often think about the world
In which I live today, of animals and plants
And nature’s gift set on display
But the most amazing thing
That I’ve seen in my time
Are all the different people
And all their different minds
And different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one’s exactly the same

So many different people
So many different kinds
So many different people
So many different kinds
Look at me, I’m a person
Look at me, I’m my own person
So many different people
So many different kinds
For better or for worse, different people

What About Me

Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day,
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground,
He gets to his feet and he says...

CHORUS:
What about me? It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give

Well, there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop
She's been waiting back there, waiting for a dream,
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well, she's not too proud, to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams...

CHORUS

More than you give...

Take a step back and see the little people
They might be young, but they're the ones that make the big people big
So listen as they whisper:
"What about me?"

And now I'm standing on the corner, all the world's gone home
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...

CHORUS

What about me?
What about me?
What about....me?

Had Enough Of You Today

by Blackie and the Rodeo Kings

I'm ugly, I'm lazy
I'm always there to take the blame
I'm a drag but
You'll never find out
Just push me around and I'll walk away

I'm a genius
I can't get straight
There's supernatural in my hair
Space invaders
All around me
Freak me out when I get down there.

I'm getting lost before I get found out
I'm getting old before my time
And it's too late

So shut up I'll give up when I want to
Just shut up I'm not listening to you
Say anything 'cause it don't mean nothing
I've had enough of you today
I've had enough of you today

Now don't try me
I'm so turned on
I'm in the game to break some eggs
I'm not a loser, I'm a time bomb
A superstar who always gets his way.

So shut up I'll give up when I want to
Just shut up I'm not listening to you
Say anything "cause it don;t mean nothing I've had enough of you today
I've had enough of you today

Breaking the Habit - Linkin Park

Memories concern
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safer in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

Cultured my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I have no options left again.

I dont want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused.

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
Cuz I'm the one that falls
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight.

Bring Me To Life
Evanescence

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb

Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and
Lead it back home

CHORUS:
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You cant just leave me
Breathe into me and {make me real}
Bring me
To life

CHORUS:
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing Ive become

{Bring me to life}
[I've been living a lie... There's nothing inside]
{Bring me to life}

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

[All of this I, I can't believe I couldnt see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me]

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

[Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul]
{Don't let me die here}(You must be sacrificed)
Bring me to life

CHORUS:
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
[I've been living a lie.. There's nothing inside]
Bring me to life

Real World
Matchbox 20

I wonder what it’s like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it’s like to know that I made the rain
I’d store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come and see them when i’m...done, when I’m done

I wonder what it’s like to be a super hero
I wonder where I’d go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they’re stunned
(chorus)
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

I wonder what it’s like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I’d do if they all did just what I said
I’d shout out an order, I think we’re out of this man get me some
Boy don’t make me wanna change my...tone, my tone
(chorus)

Please don’t change, please don’t break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don’t change, at all from me
To you, and you to me
(chorus)
