Dexy's Midnight Runners - "Come On Eileen"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc-P8oDuS0Q
(Come On Eileen)
(Come On Eileen)
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along
Who'd blame them
You've grown, so grown
Now I must say more than ever
(Come On Eileen)
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what he means (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Oh, come on Eileen
(Come On Eileen)
These people round here
Wear beaten down eyes sunk
In smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no not ever)
But not us (not ever)
We are far too young and clever
(Remember)
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
And you'll hum this tune forever
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what he means
Aah, come on let's
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Aah, come on let's
Aah, come on Eileen
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Aah, come on let's
Aah, come on Eileen
Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
Now you're full grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen
Say, come on Eileen
These things they are real and I know
How you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things round here have changed
I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Which are dirty
Aah, come on Eileen
Aah, come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen...
The Cure - "Boys Don't Cry"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9hOFOgqOds&feature=related
I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I've said too much
Been too unkind
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and
Laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that
It's too late
And now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to
laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just
Keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

Roy Orbison - "In Dreams"
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper:
"Go to sleep, everything is alright"
I close my eyes
Then I drift away
Into the magic night
I softly sway
Oh smile and pray
Like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep
To dream my dreams of you
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/roy+orbison/in+dreams_20119072.html ]
In dreams...I walk with you
In dreams...I talk to you
In dreams...Your mine
All of the time
We're together
In dreams...In dreams
But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it...I can't help it
If I cry
I remember
That you said goodbye
To end all these things
And I'll be happy in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams

Melissa McClelland - "Passenger 24"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UPNOkJmLpc
Passenger number 24,
I got a bag of cocaine, cut my hair short.
We're gonna fill it up with diesel and American scum
Left a girl in Amarillo 'bout as sweet as rum
A girl in Amarillo
'Bout as sweet as rum
I've a Christian name and a cross in ink
But God don't like it when a poor man think
So I'm a boot camp warrior, United States vet
Got a girl in Orange County, she don't know it yet
A girl in Orange County
Don't know it yet
Well it's four AM and I'm still a 'hound,
We dropped a mean talkin' Yankee off in the last town.
If I were in Kentucky I'd be shooting raccoons,
Stoned as the driver chasing the moon.
Hopped up driver,
Chasing the moon.
Buying smokes for kids and I pocket the change.
Grab a deli stick, a barely legal 'Home on the Range'.
Jump on the bus as he's gunnin' the wheel,
Dust in my tracks, pedal to steel.
Dust in my tracks,
Pedal to steel.
Whoo!
Passenger number 24,
I got a bag of cocaine, cut my hair short.
We're gonna fill it up with diesel and American scum.
Left a girl in Amarillo, sweet as rum.
A girl in Amarillo
'Bout as sweet...
(one, two; a one, two, three)
...as rum

Frankie Lymon - "Seabreeze"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yo4UE-p864
I can see the lights
Of a little town
Where the stars shine bright
And the moon never frowns
Where a man can find peace
And get all he needs
It's my home
And they call it
Seabreeze
What a town to live in
What a place to see
I am sure you'll give in to the joy and the lead
When you'll find peace of mind
You wont want to leave
Come with me and I'll show you
Seabreeze
If you don't
Believe
What I've said is true
You should come with me
And I'll show to you
People singing their songs as they go along
To the streets of a town called
Seabreeze

Alan Pownall - "A Life Worth Living"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4v7QnPOebs&feature=related
I did my best this time around
Don't look like you've been holding out for nothing
Within nothing
Cause I've been hit down on the ground
I'm hoping we could turn it into something
Yeah, yeah
But you said you wanted more, you'll never coming back
Oh, now you just remind me of about everything I had
Oh, I won't run away from a life worth living with
Yon don't have to wait for, a life worth living with
Cause there's nothing I want more than a life worth living with you
I've been here once too many times
You let me fall away
And it was over (it was over)
I knew you turn yourself around
And I'll be there to take you under my arms, oh
Cause you said you weren't a moron, I could never give you that
Now you just remind me of about everything I had
Oh, I won't run away from a life worth living with
Yon don't have to wait for, a life worth living with
Cause there's nothing I want more than a life worth living with you
I never want it anymore than this
I found you in my darn day
But I've been waiting after all these time
And you stayed away
But I feel it in my bones
About looking on all over for a love worth living with
Oh, I won't run away from a life living with
Yon don't have to wait for, a life worth living with
Cause there's nothing I want more than a life worth living with you
A live worth living with you
A live worth living with you
A live worth living with you
