Katherine Jenkins - "Fear Of Falling."

On the list of hearts that have been broken,
It's not hard to find a place that bears my name.
So I learned to leave every door unopened,
Certain all I'd find was just more of the same.

I just lived my life,
Turned days to night,
But I didn't count on you.

Now my fear of falling,
Is nowhere in me calling,
Telling me to run while I still can.
Holding nothing back now,
Seems I have at last found,
Love that makes me want to give you all I am.

For so long there was no hope to believe in,
Washed away with every tear I cried.
But now my dreams are wide awake and breathing,
And I'm letting out all that I held inside.

Now my fear of falling,
Is nowhere in me calling,
Telling me to run while I still can.
Holding nothing back now,
Seems I have at last found,
Love that makes me want to give you all I am.

Now my fear of falling,
Is nowhere in me calling,
Telling me to run while I still can.
Holding nothing back now,
Seems I have at last found,
Love that makes me want to give you all I am.

Meat Loaf - "The Future Ain't What It Used To Be."

I never knew so many bad times
Could follow me so mercilessly
It's almost surreal all the pain that I feel
The future ain't what it used to be

It doesn't matter what they're thinking
It doesn't matter what they're thinking of me
It's always so cold and I'm too young to be old
The future ain't what it used to be

Were there ever any stars in the sky?
And did the sun ever shine so bright?
Do you have any dreams I could borrow
Just to get me through the lonely nights?

Is there anything left to hold on to
When the rivers wash it all away?
Is there anyone left to hold on to?
Is there anything left I can say?

Say a prayer for the falling angels
Stem the tide of the rising waters
Toll a bell for the broken hearted
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters

The endless night has got a hold of me
Dark days are pulling me forward
And all these tears are washing over me
And I'm crying - I'm lost forever
In a future that ain't what it used to be

A future that ain't what it used to be
A future that ain't what it used to be, no more...
(no more, no more, no more)

It's like a storm that's never ending
It's like a shadow on the land and the sea
There's nothing so sad as a tomorrow gone bad
The future ain't what it used to be, now

Some days I feel so numb and empty
And those would be the good days for me
Nothing gets to me now unless I'm thinking of how
The future ain't what it used to be

Were there ever any stars in the sky?
And did the sun ever shine so bright?
Do you have any dreams I could borrow
Just to get me through the lonely nights?

Is there anything left to hold on to
When the rivers wash it all away?
Is there anyone left to hold on to?
Is there anything left I can say?

Say a prayer for the falling angels
Stem the tide of the rising waters
Toll a bell for the broken hearted
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters

The endless night has got a hold of me
Dark days are pulling me forward
And all these tears are washing over me
And I'm crying - I'm lost forever
In a future that ain't what it used to be

A future that ain't what it used to be
A future that ain't what it used to be no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more
No more, no more, no more, no more...
No more, no more, no more, no more...

The future just ain't what it used to be
The future just ain't what it used to be
The future just ain't what it used to be
Oh, the future just ain't what it used to be

The future that ain't what it used to be no more...
Oh, the future just ain't what it used to be
The future that ain't what it used to be no more...
Hmmm, the future just ain't what it used to be

Aaah, the future, the future, the future, the future...
Oh, the future, the future, the future just ain't what it used to be
(the future just ain't what it used to be)
Oh, future just ain't what it used to be
Aaaaah, the future just ain't what it used to be
The future...

I wish it wouldn't come
I wish it wouldn't come .

Keane - "A Bad Dream."

Why do I have to fly
over every town up and down the line?
I'll die in the clouds above
and you that I defend, I do not love.

I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
Guess I'm not the fighting kind.

Where will I meet my fate?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate.
And when will I meet my end?
In a better time, you could be my friend.

I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
Guess I'm not the fighting kind.

Wouldn't mind it
if you were by my side
But you're long gone,
Yeah, you're long gone now.

Where do we go?
I don't even know,
My strange old face,
And I'm thinking about those days,
I'm thinking about those days.

I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
Guess I'm not the fighting kind.

Wouldn't mind it
if you were by my side
But you're long gone,
Yeah, you're long gone now.

Euthanasia - "Unspoken."

Take me away, sir, from the mirror of the past
The tears are dripping into the eternal well
And ripples on the surface create impenetrable cells
Surrounding the seconds of our lives.

All unspoken, there is no one left I can confess to.
All unspoken, I can swallow up the letters of those sentences.
All unspoken, a tongue, as carved from a throat
All unspoken, writing alone on the wall of tears.

The present has been scattered into the dust
Why do I wake up in the past?
I can see through blind eyes
Into the kingdom of the fallen.

The words I haven't spoken
Are disappearing in the depths of buried hopes.
In the echoes of unlived tomorrows
I learn to listen to the steps of solitude.

Dancing shadows create a silhouette
Of celestial freedom and connection.
I'm waiting by the wall of tears
Outside the borders of time, inside the temple of light.

Cyndi Lauper - "True Colours."

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh, I realise
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
can make you feel so small

But I see your true colours
shining through
I see your true colours
and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
Your true colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colours
shining through
I see your true colours
and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
Your true colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow

Alice Cooper - "Might As Well Be On Mars."

The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
Midnight blues comin' through the walls

I tried to call you on the telephone
I left it off the hook
Just to hear it ring
You told me you were better off alone
I never knew that tears could stain

I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all the cars
I can see you
In the window of your favourite corner bar
But to reach you is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars

The city seems so old and grey and beat
It closes in and makes me want to suffocate
And you just live across the street
But that's a billion miles away

You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place
Like a planet lost in space, my light is fadin'
I'd cross the universe to be right where you are
But I'm right in your back yard
And I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars
You can't see me
I might as well be the man in the Moon
You can't hear me
Oh, can you feel me so close
And yet so far
Baby, I might as well be on Mars

Baby, I can't fly
If I could I'd come down to you
Maybe I should try

I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all the cars
I can see you
In the window of your favourite corner bar
But to reach you is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars
You can't see me
I might as well be the man in the Moon
You can't hear me
Oh, can you feel me so close
And yet so far
Baby, I might as well be on Mars

The Mavericks - "From Hell To Paradise."

For thirty years they sang the
song of promised victory
But who they've fought and who has won
Didn't matter much to me

I see them driving down the streets
In their fancy shiny cars
Crowds of people to their feet
Their faces full of scars

No pleasantries, no luxuries
No little children's milk
While minister's wives spent all their lives
In China's finest silk

My back's been broken many times
But my spirit lingers on
The day it comes my way on freedom's ship
I will be gone

From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price

This ninety mile trip
has taken thirty years to make
They tried to keep for ever
what was never theirs to take

I cursed and scratched the devil's hand
As he stood in front of me
One last drag from his big cigar
And he finally set me free

From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price

Con ojos tiernos algun dia te mirare
Con brases abiertos algun dia abrasare
Hay mi Havana cuando pueda regresare

(Translation:
With tender eyes someday I'll look at you
With open arms someday I'll embrace you
My old Havana someday I will return)
