It's a god-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling "No" And her daddy has told her to go But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore For she's lived it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? It's on Amerika's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again See the mice in their million hordes From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? David Bowie - " Life On Mars "

"Ironic"
An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late And isn't it ironic...dontcha think
It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought...it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well isn't this nice..." And isn't it ironic...dontcha think
It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought...it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic...dontcha think A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think...
It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought...it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out

Don´t Dream It´s Over
By Crowded House .
There is freedom within, there is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost But you’ll never see the end of the road While you’re travelling with me
Hey now, hey now Don’t dream it’s over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won’t win
Now I’m towing my car, there’s a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there’s no proof In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the t.v. page
Hey now, hey now Don’t dream it’s over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won’t win
Now I’m walking again to the beat of a drum And I’m counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now Don’t dream it’s over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us Don’t ever let them win

Colors of the Wind
You think I'm an ignorant savage And you've been so many places I guess it must be so But still I cannot see If the savage one is me Now can there be so much that you don't know? You don't know ...
You think you own whatever land you land on The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth Come roll in all the riches all around you And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers The heron and the otter are my friends And we are all connected to each other In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow? If you cut it down, then you'll never know And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still All you'll own is Earth until You can paint with all the colors of the wind

Man of La Mancha
Man of la Mancha (I, Don Quixote) CERVANTES May I set the stage? I shall impersonate a man. Come, enter into my imagination and see him! His name... Alonso Quijana... a country squire, no longer young... bony, hollow-faced... eyes that burn with the fire of inner vision. Being retired, he has much time for books. He studies them from morn to night and often through the night as well. And all he reads oppresses him... fills him with indignation at man's murderous ways toward man. And he conceives the strangest project ever imagined... to become a knight-errant and sally forth into the world to right all wrongs. No longer shall he be plain Alonso Quijana... but a dauntless knight known as -
Don Quixote de La Mancha!
DON QUIXOTE
Song
Hear me now Oh thou bleak and unbearable world, Thou art base and debauched as can be; And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee! I am I, Don Quixote, The Lord of La Mancha, My destiny calls and I go, And the wild winds of fortune Will carry me onward, Oh whithersoever they blow. Whithersoever they blow, Onward to glory I go!
Hear me, heathens and wizards And serpents of sin! All your dastardly doings are past, For a holy endeavor is now to begin And virtue shall triumph at last!
I am I, Don Quixote, The Lord of La Mancha, My destiny calls and I go, And the wild winds of fortune Will carry me onward, Oh whithersoever they blow. Whithersoever they blow, Onward to glory I go!
Whithersoever they blow, Onward to glory I go!

Man of La Mancha
Song: Impossible Dream
(The Quest)
ALDONZA Why do you do these things?
DON QUIXOTE What things?
ALDONZA These ridiculous... the things you do!
DON QUIXOTE I hope to add some measure of grace to the world.
ALDONZA The world's a dung heap and we are maggots that crawl on it!
DON QUIXOTE My Lady knows better in her heart.
ALDONZA What's in my heart will get me halfway to hell. And you, Señor Don Quixote-you're going to take such a beating!
DON QUIXOTE Whether I win or lose does not matter.
ALDONZA What does?
DON QUIXOTE Only that I follow the quest.
ALDONZA (spits) That for your Quest! (turns, marches away; stops, turns bock and asks, awkwardly) What does that mean... quest?
DON QUIXOTE It is the mission of each true knight... His duty... nay, his privilege!
Song
To dream the impossible dream, To fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go; To right the unrightable wrong.
To love, pure and chaste, from afar, To try, when your arms are too weary, To reach the unreachable star!
This is my Quest to follow that star, No matter how hopeless, no matter how far, To fight for the right Without question or pause, To be willing to march into hell For a heavenly cause!
And I know, if I'll only be true To this glorious Quest, That my heart will lie peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest.
And the world will be better for this, That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove, with his last ounce of courage, To reach the unreachable stars!

Silence is Golden
Oh don't it hurt deep inside To see someone do something to her Oh don't it pain to see someone cry How especially if that someone is her
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see
Talking is cheap people follow like sheep Even though there is no where to go How could she tell he decieved her so well Pity she'll be the last one to know
How many times will she fall for his lines Should I tell her or should I be cool And if I tried I know she'd say I lied Mind your business don't hurt her you fool
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see

Working My Way Back to You
Working my way back to you babe With a burning love inside Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe With a happiness that died I let it get away, paying every day
When you were so in love with me I played around like I was free Thought I could have my cake and eat it too Oh how I cried over losing you
For every day I made you cry I'm paying girl til the day that I die I'll keep working my way back to you babe With a burning love inside I'm working my way back to you babe With a happiness that died I let it get away, payin every day
I used to love to make you cry It made me feel like a man inside But if I'd been a man in reality You'd still be here babe lovin me
Now the nights are long and lonely And I'm not too strong babe I just miss you so And you're too proud, won't give in But when I think about all I could win
I keep working my way back to you babe With a burning love inside I'm working my way back to you babe With a happiness that died I let it get away, payin every day
yeah yeah yeah
Working my way back to you babe With a burning love inside I'm working my way back to you babe With a happiness that died oh how I'm cryin Working my way back to you babe With a burning love inside

Forever Young Lyrics
by Rod Stewart
May the good Lord be with you Down every road you roam And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home And may you grow to be proud Dignified and true And do unto others As you'd have done to you Be courageous and be brave And in my heart you'll always stay Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young, Forever Young
May good fortune be with you May your guiding light be strong Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain and in my heart you will remain Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young Forever Young
And when you finally fly away I'll be hoping that I served you well For all the wisdom of a lifetime No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose I'm right behind you, win or lose Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young,Forever Young Forever Young, Forever Young For, Forever Young, Forever Young

I Hope You Dance
by Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat But always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance Living might mean taking chances But they're worth taking Lovin' might be a mistake But it's worth making Don't let some hell bent heart Leave you bitter When you come close to selling out Reconsider Give the heavens above More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who) I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their years and wonder) (Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance Dance I hope you dance I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who) (Wants to look back on their years and wonder) I hope you dance (Where those years have gone)
(Tell me who) I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their years and wonder) (Where those years have gone)

Rita Coolidge
We're All Alone
Outside the rain begins and it may never end So cry no more on the shore a dream Will take us out to sea Forever more forever more Close your eyes and dream And and you can be with me 'Neath the waves through the caves of hours Long forgotten now We're all alone we're all alone
Close the window calm the light And it will be alright No need to bother now Let it out let it all begin Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told It can't help but grow old Roses do lovers too So cast your seasons to the wind And hold me dear oh hold me dear
Close the window calm the light And it will be alright No need to bother now Let it out let it all begin All's forgotten now We're all alone oh oh we're all alone Close the window calm the light And it will be alright No need to bother now Let it out let it all begin All's forgotten now We're all alone we're all alone Let it out let it all begin Owe it to the wind my love
