AMERICA by Simon And Garfunkel
"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America
 "Kathy" I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
 Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera"
 "Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
 "Kathy, I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America

All gone to look for America...

Kryptonite by 3 doors down

I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the
Dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something
To do with you
I really dont mind what happens now and then
As long as youll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If Im alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
Ill keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
Never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
Not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If Im alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
Ill keep you by my side with my
Superhuman might
Kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If Im alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
Ill keep you by my side with my
Superhuman might
Kryptonite

Yeah!

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If Im alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
Ill keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite

HERO by Enrique Iglesias

Let me be your hero

Would you dance
If I asked you to dance?
Would you run
And never look back?
Would you cry
If you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?

Would you tremble
If I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
For the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Would you swear
That you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care...
You're here tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Oh, I just want to hold you.
I just want to hold you.
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care...
You're here tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.

 

TINY DANCER by Elton John
Blue jean baby, L.A lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyes, pirate smile
You married a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her
dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand
 Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
 Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows
The tunes she hums
 But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
 
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
(repeat)
 Blue jean baby, L.A lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile 
You married a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand
 
But oh how real it feels
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
 
repeat chorus
SUNSCREEN
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 97
Wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experienceI will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years youll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you cant grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked.Youre not as fat as you
imagine.

Dont worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing everyday that scares you

Sing

Dont be reckless with other peoples hearts, dont put up with
people who are reckless with yours.

Floss

Dont waste your time on jealousy; sometimes youre ahead, sometimes
youre behindthe race is long, and in the end, its only with
yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch

Dont feel guilty if you dont know what you want to do with your
lifethe most interesting people I know didnt know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still dont.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, youll miss them when theyre gone.

Maybe youll marry, maybe you wont, maybe youll have children,maybe
you wont, maybe youll divorce at 40, maybe youll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversarywhat ever you do, dont
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either  your
choices are half chance, so are everybody elses. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you candont be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, its the greatest instrument youll ever
own..

Danceeven if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you dont follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when theyll be gone for
good.

Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do youll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Dont expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.

Dont mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
its worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen
Innocent By Our Lady Peace 
Oh, Jonny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain and a guitar and a stereo
And while he wishes he could escape this
But it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul

I remember feeling low 
And I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are

Oh, Tina's losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music, hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
Every calorie's a war,
And while she wishes she was a dancer
And that she never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful

I remember feeling low 
And I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are

One day you'll have to let it go
You'll have to let it go
One day you'll stand up on your own
You'll stand up on your own
Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
innocent
We are, we are all

 

 
 ROCK ME GENTLY
Ain't it good
Ain't it right
That you are with me here tonight
The music playing
Our bodies swayin' in time
In time, in time, in time

Touching you so warm and tender
Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

Mmm
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Baby, baby
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Oh my darling
Oh my baby
You got the moves that drive me crazy
And on your face I see a trace of love
Of love, of love, of love
Come hold me close
Don't let me go
I need you, honey
I love you so
You were made for me by the stars above

Oh, rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

And baby, baby
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Ain't it good
Ain't it right
That you are with me here tonight

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Baby, baby
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Brick by Ben Folds Five
6 am day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing

The world is sleeping
I am numb

Up the stairs to the apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son, it's time to tell the truth
She broke down, and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying

Driving home to her apartment
For a moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
I'm alone
Now I know it

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
 

Who Will Save Your Soul by Jewel

People living their lives for you on TV
They say they're better than you and you agree
Another burger, another hot dog, some fries
A wish in the well, hope your health don't go to hell, well
Another doctor's bill, another lawyer's bill
Another cute cheap thrill
You know you love him if you put him in your will

CHROUS:
Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower
Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy
Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?


We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, 
try to cuss them
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower
Went up to where the homeless had their homes
So we pray to as many gods are there are flowers
But we call religion our friend
We're so worried about saving our souls
Afraid that God will take His toll
That we forget to begin

CHROUS

Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their kill
You get social security, but that don't pay your bills
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
So you bargain with the Devil, say you're o.k. for today,
You say that you love them, take their money and run
Say, it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those things
Those flings, those strings you've got to cut,
So get out on the streets, girls, and bust your butts.

CHROUS
What Its Like by Everlast
We've all seen the man at the liquor store begging for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"Get a job, you fucking slob" is all he replies
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues.

CHOURS:

Then you really might know what its like(x4)

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said "Don't worry 'bout a thing, Baby Doll, I'm the man you've been dreaming of"
But three months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man, I'm cuttin' off his balls"
And she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the door
They call her a sinner and they call her a killer and they call her a whore
But God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

CHORUS

I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked the baddest dimes
'least a couple of times
'fore I broke they heart
You know where it ends, yo
It usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max, he used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late, he liked to get shit faced and keep pace with thugs
'Til late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head
Pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
You know it crumbles that way, at least that's what they say when you play the game
But God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (3x)
To have to lose...

I hope you love them as much as i do!
THE FIRST 
stand up sit down baby
gonna be a formal dress down hey day
we decide why not go downtown
how about you and me we go get wasted
you'll have, you'll have to excuse me
please please, please excuse me
you'll have, you'll have to excuse me
this will be my first time
by definition from grade school to English 30
we quietly become strong so early
take it or leave it they can't believe it
they go from kindergarten to killing sprees
they go from heartache to inner peace
100 foot ceilings 100 percent deceit
he said let's leave this between you and me
my cats watch my stuff leave my house
between you and me the cat burglars are
what did you see what did you steal
tell me baby how does it feel
yeah how do you feel
it's a top ten list of the things that move me the most
it's a top ten list of the things that bother me the most
a top ten list of the things that scare me the most
I'd have to say that the future
wasting time in the fast food line
I decide to walk the fine line
and celebrate life celebrate death I choose
to celebrate the first
I celebrate the first
we decide to go out walking
the whole time that we're talking
convinced that we're living
the whole time that we're dying
we decide to go out walking
the whole time that you're talking
convinced that you're living
the whole time that I'm dying
keeps me on my toes where did the time go
you keep me on my toes where did the time go
on the edge of town where the gravel's thin they're
gonna wear you down
until you're thin and tired tired tired
of wasting time in the fast food line
I decide to walk the fine line and
celebrate life celebrate death I choose to celebrate
the first to come the first to go the first to say yes
the first to say no
I'm gonna seize this moment
the first to come the first to go the first to say yes
first to say no
 PROUD

FROZEN
Its not far to go, its not far at all,
Its not far to go, youre not far at all
Pools out that waters so cold
Theres not much said that I dont know
The differences between frozen hands and feet
You come right out and you ask me
No body ever asks me
Only you come and ask me
In the pool out back, water to my chest
Towel lying in the grass
Looks a lot worse than it seems
But you know baby thats just me
Baby, baby thats just me
Baby, baby thats just,
Baby, baby thats just me
Its not far to go, its not far at all,
And I want I want I want I want it
Looking for a laugh
Whats that sound
When your done whining
Take things back
Ill be there as always
feet submerged and probably frozen
We can only hope that Ill be frozen
We can only hope that Ill be
Enough of that as if I care
Like I need to know, I was there
But if I wasnt you could just call my name
Call my name and ill be there
If you call my name you know ill be there
Never felt so far away
No matter what you do, no matter what you say
I wanna stop the world for a moment in the middle like a bag of somthin
You wanna say I I I I I I is it alright, is it alright
If  i say hi?
Is it alright is it alright
If  i i i say hi?
Is it alright, is it alright
Pools out that waters so cold
Theres not much said that I dont know
The differences between frozen hands and feet
You come right out and you ask me
No body ever asks me
Its not far to go, its not far at all,
Its not far to go, its not far at all,
Its not far to go, its not far at all,
Is it alright is it alright
If  i i i say hi?
Is it alright is it alright
If  i i i say hi?
Is it alright is it alright
If  i i i say hi?
Is it alright is it alright
If  i i i say hi?
Is it alright is it alright
If  i i i say hi?
 LIVING ROOM
 My windows look into your living room,
where I spend the afternoon on top of you.
I wonder what it is that I did to make you move, 
in across away from me.
I hope I never figure out who broke your heart, 
and if I do, if I do.
I'd spend all night, losing sleep, I'd spend the night
and lose my mind, I'd spend the night and lose my mind.
My windows look into your bathroom,
where I spend the evening, watching, you get yourself clean.
I wonder why it is that they left this bathroom so unclean, so unlike me.
I hope I never figure out who broke your heart, 
and if I do, if I do.
I'd spend all night, losing sleep, I'd spend the night
and lose my mind, I'd spend the night and lose my mind.
Spend all night, losing sleep, I'd spend the night
and lose my mind, I'd spend the night and lose my mind.
I hope I never figure out who broke your heart, and if I do.
Well, I hope I never figure out who broke your heart, and if I do.
I'd spend all night, losing sleep I'd spend the night and lose my mind,
spend the night and lose my mind.
Spend all night, losing sleep I'd spend the night, and lose my mind, 
spend the night and lose my mind.
