Dancing in the DARK
I get up in the evening, and I ain’t got nothing to say I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way I ain’t nothing but tired, man I’m just tired and bored with myself Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can’t start a fire, you can’t start a fire without a spark This gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Message keeps getting clearer, radio’s on and I’m moving round the place I check myself out in the mirror I wanna change my clothes my hair my face Man I ain’t getting nowhere just sitting in a dump like this There’s something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is
You can’t start a fire...
You sit around getting older there’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me I’ll shake this world off my shoulders come baby this laughs on me
Stay on the streets of this town and they’ll be carving you up alright They say you got to stay hungry hey baby I’m just about starving tonight I’m dying for some action I’m sick of sitting ’round here trying to write This book I need a love reaction come on now baby give me just one look
You can’t start a fire.............. bruce springsteen lyrics

Born to Run
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway american dream At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines Sprung from cages out on highway 9, Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin’ out over the line Baby this town rips the bones from your back It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap We gotta get out while we’re young `cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend I want to guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims And strap your hands across my engines Together we could break this trap We’ll run till we drop, baby we’ll never go back Will you walk with me out on the wire `cause baby I’m just a scared and lonely rider But I gotta find out how it feels I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real
Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors And the boys try to look so hard The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist I wanna die with you wendy on the streets tonight In an everlasting kiss
The highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive Everybody’s out on the run tonight but there’s no place left to hide Together wendy we’ll live with the sadness I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul Someday girl I don’t know when we’re gonna get to that place Where we really want to go and we’ll walk in the sun But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run bruce springsteen lyrics

My Hometown - Bruce springsteen
was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown This is your hometown This is your hometown This is your hometown
In '65 tension was running high at my high school There was a lot of fights between the black and white There was nothing you could do Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun Words were passed in a shotgun blast Troubled times had come to my hometown My hometown My hometown My hometown
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown Your hometown Your hometown Your hometown
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out Packing up our bags maybe heading south I'm thirty-five we got a boy of our own now Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around

World's Greatest!
I am a mountain I am a tall tree ooooh, I am a swift wind, Sweepin' the country
I am a river, Down in the valley ooooh, I am a vision And I can see clearly
If anybody asks you who I am Just stand up tall Look 'em in the face and say
Chorus I'm that star up in the sky I'm that mountain peak up high Hey I made it, mmmmmm I'm the world's greatest And I'm that little bit of hope When my back's against the ropes I can feel it, mmmmmm I'm the world's greatest (the worlds greatest, worlds greatest , for ever )
I am a giant I am an eagle ooh, I am a lion Down in the jungle
I am a marchin' band I am the people ooh, I am a helping hand I am a hero
If anybody asks you who I am Just stand up tall Look 'em in the face and say
Chorus
In the ring of life i'll rain love (i will rain) and the world will notice a king (oooohhhhh yahhhhh) when there is darkness i'll shine a light (shine a light) and views of success reflect in me
Repeat Chorus to fade

AFRICA
by TOTO
I hear the drums echoin´ tonight She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She´s coming in, twelve thirty flight Moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say "Hurry boy, she´s waiting there for you"
It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There´s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what´s right Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seem to cure what´s deep inside Frightened of this thing that I´ve become
It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There´s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
"Hurry boy, she´s waiting there for you"
It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There´s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The Lady in Red
by Chris de Burgh
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance They're looking for a little romance Given half a chance And I've never seen that dress you're wearing Or that highlights in your hair That catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me Cheek to cheek There's nobody here It's just you and me It's where I wanna be But I hardly know this beauty by my side I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side And when you turned to me and smiled it took my breath away And I have never had such a feeling such a feeling Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The lady in red is dancing with me Cheek to cheek There's nobody here It's just you and me It's where I wanna be But I hardly know this beauty by my side I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight The lady in red My lady in red I love you

All Star by
Smash Mouth
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kinda dumb with her fingers and her Thumb And the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Back to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on, get paid (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older But the media men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The waters getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire how about yours That's the way I like it and I never get bored
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on, get paid (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars break the mold
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on, get paid (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars...
Somebody once asked, "could you spare some change for gas I need to get myself away from this place" I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change.
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Back to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on, get paid (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars break the mold
(And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars break the mold

Down Under Traveling in a fried-out combie On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said,
"Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover."
Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich And he said,
"I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover."
Lying in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw, and not much to say I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me Because I come from the land of plenty?" And he said,
"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah) Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover."

Through the Eyes of Love
Please, dont let this feeling end Its everything I am, Everything I wanna be; I can see whats mine now Finding out whats true, Since Ive found you Lookin through the eyes of love.
Now I can take the time, I can see my life As it comes up shining now; Reachin out to touch you, I can feel so much, Since Ive found you Lookin through the eyes of love.
REFRAIN: And now, I do believe, That even in a storm, well find some light; Knowin youre beside me, Im alright. Please dont let this feelin end, It might not come again; And I want to remember How it feels to touch you; How I feel so much, Since Ive found you Lookin through the eyes of love.
CODA: Reaching out to touch you, I can feel so much, Since Ive found you Lookin through the eyes of love.
