Fine Young Cannibals - "She Drives Me Crazy"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSCJJkFgt_w&feature=related
I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real
Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're runnin' out of time
Won't you ever set me free
This waiting round is killing me
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself
I can't get any rest
People say I'm obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself
I won't make it on my own
No one likes to be alone
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself
Uh huh huh
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself
Uh huh huh
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself
Robert Palmer - "Addicted To Love"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcATvu5f9vE&feature=related
our lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
[break]
Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats, your teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Tears For Fears - "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0&feature=related
Welcome to your life,
There's no turning back.
Even while sleep,
We will find you.
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design,
It's my own remorse.
Help me to decide,
Help make the most,
Of freedom and of pleasure,
Nothing ever lasts forever.
Everybody wants to rule the world.
There's a room where the light won't find you,
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down.
When they do I'll be right behind you,
So glad we've almost made it.
So sad they had fade it.
Everybody wants to rule the world.
I can't stand this indecision,
Married with a lack of vision.
Everybody wants to rule the world.
Say that you'll never never never need it.
One headline why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world.
All for freedom and for pleasure,
Nothing ever lasts forever.
Everybody wants to rule the world.
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
