Allister - "We Close Our Eyes."

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream
Another year has come and gone
When everybody is running in the big race
And having a good time

We might've cast a shadow; who am I?
I looked Death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror and he simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream
Another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream

And if you come to me
And if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear
Who am I?

And if you think I'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late
We might start falling
If we dont try too hard
We might start falling in love

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream
Another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream

We're on the healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride that could never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try to make the seconds count
Then we could close our eyes

Close our eyes and the world has turned around again
Close our eyes
Another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream
Another year has come and gone

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream
Close our eyes and the world has turned around again

Garbage - "As Heaven Is Wide."

Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray would forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here

As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly

If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down to hell
Take its conscience with it
As it falls

Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind
You broke the pact
If God's my witness, God must be blind

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here

As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly

I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish

Take it back
I dare you, take it back
No you can't?
You should have thought of that

What's inside a man
That goes so wrong
Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
Say one word I'll laugh and bury you
And leave you in the place
Where you left me

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here

As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly

I wish I could fly
As angels can fly
I wish, I wish.

The Style Council - "Long Hot Summer."

I play out my role
Why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I'm beaten

All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
And the tears for real not acted, any more

I'm all mixed up inside
I want to run but I can't hide
And however much we try
We cant escape the truth and the fact is

Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do

Dont matter what I do
'cause I end up hurting you

One more covered sigh
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Can't you see that's why
We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime

(in my mind different voices call)
What once was pleasure now is pain for us all
(in my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small

(I dont know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by

Billy Joel - "Honesty."

If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.

But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone to say they sympathise.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.

Anyone can comfort me with promises again.
I know, I know.
When I'm deep inside of me don't be too concerned.
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone.

But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

Michelle Wright - "Nobody's Girl."

She’s a fallen angel
She’s just flesh and bone
She’s the rock of ages
She’s a rollin’ stone

She’s nobody’s girl
She walks this road alone (nobody’s girl)
She calls her soul her own (nobody’s girl)
She knows she’s on her own in this world
She’s nobody’s girl

She’s some kind of devil
She’s some kind of saint
And if her hands are dirty
Well her spirit ain’t

She’s nobody’s girl
She walks this road alone (nobody’s girl)
She calls her soul her own (nobody’s girl)
She knows she’s on her own in this world
She’s nobody’s girl

Now if the world don’t claim you
It don’t own you too
She don’t belong to me no, no
She don’t belong to you

She’s nobody’s girl
She walks this road alone (nobody’s girl)
She calls her soul her own (nobody’s girl)
She knows she’s on her own in this world
She’s nobody’s girl

She walks this road alone (nobody’s girl)
She calls her soul her own (nobody’s girl)
She knows she’s on her own in this world
She’s nobody’s girl(nobody’s girl)

She’s a fallen angel (nobody’s girl)
She’s just flesh and bone
She’s nobody’s girl

Four Star Mary - "Stars Come Down."

Sometimes the voices in my head start to laugh
I think of you instead but the jokes
Bury me in the sand and I choke
And lose all your feeling

I want to walk to the bridge that you always said
You'd jump off if things ever get real bad but I stop
For fearing that if I did get to the top
I'd follow you

If the stars came down in a million showers
And I made a wish that could truly flower and bloom over you
Would you take your new life and give something from it
Instead of a lie and a broken promise
I'm here if you care
Do you care?

Earthquakes throw me right out of bed
These fakes in the land of the living dead
I'd make a run for it but instead I stay
I secretly love it

What did you say?
Was it me you were laughing at?
You gave us hope, turned around,
Then you took it back

I want to know, was it worth it?
I've got to know, was it worth it?

If the stars came down in a million showers
And I made a wish that could truly flower and bloom over you
Would you take your new life and give something from it
Instead of a lie and a broken promise
I'm here if you care
Do you care?

Evanescence - "Whisper."

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away

Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name

Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep, never die

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come

Immobilised by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away

Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name

Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep, never die

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me

I fear she beckons me
Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end

Feeder - "Bitter Glass."

The thought of never knowing
Would kill me just the same (yeah)
The solitary blossom
Reminders of a friend (yeah)

What are you saying?
You've got nothing to live for
You're tired and you're broken
You just can't free yourself

And all the words we've spoken
Are buried in the sand (yeah)
They're raptured and you're broken
The taste of bitter glass (yeah)

What are you saying?
You've got nothing to live for
You're tired and you're broken
You just can't free yourself

What are you saying?
It's just the thought of rejection
It's pulling you deeper
You just can't free yourself

Your voluntary loving
Apologies have passed
And come around again
The fragments of a reason

The taste of bitter glass

So what are you saying?
You've got nothing to live for
You're tired and you're broken
You just can't free yourself

What are you saying?
It's just the thought of rejection
It's pulling you deeper
You just can't be yourself
