And she (show) me the way

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said…..

1.As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox

As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear

As quiet as a mouse, as big as a house

Oh oh oh I wanna be

Oh oh oh ohhhhh I wanna be

Is everything…

As deep as a bite, as dark as the night

As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong

As long as a road, as ugly as a toad

As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture

Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be

Bright as day, as light as play

As hard as nails, as grand as a whale

Oh oh oh I wanna be

Oh oh oh ohhhhh I wanna be

Oh oh oh ohhhhh I wanna be

Is everything

Everything at once

Everything at once

2. Hurts – “Wonderful life”

1.On a bridge across the Severn on a Saturday night,
Susie meets the man of her dreams.
He says that he got in trouble and if she doesn't mind
He doesn't want the company
But there's something in the air
They share a look in silence and everything is understood
Susie grabs her man and puts a grip on his hand
As the rain puts a tear in his eye..
She says..

Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

2.Driving through the city to the Temple station,
Cries into the leather seat
And Susie knows the baby was a family man,
But the world has got him down on his knees

So she throws him at the wall and kisses burn like fire,
And suddenly he starts to believe
He takes her in his arms he doesn't know why,
But it seems that he begins to se

IV. Madonna – “You’ll see”

1.You think that I can’t live without your love
You’ll see,
You think I can’t go on another day.

Without you by my side,
You’ll see
Somehow, some way

I’ll never find my way back home,
You’ll see
Somehow, someday
R:All by myself
I don’t need anyone at all
I know I’ll survive
I know I’ll stay alive,
All on my own
I don’t need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You’ll see
2.You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You’ll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.
I have truth on my side,
You only have deceit
You’ll see, somehow, someday.

V.  Eagles – “Hotel California”

1.On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
One smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
2.Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year …..

VII.  Fool’s Garden – “Lemon tree”

1.I'm sitting here in the boring room

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon

I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do

I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car

I'm driving too fast, I'm driving too far

I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

2.I wonder how, I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

I'm turning my head up and down

I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around

And all that I can see is just another lemon tree

3.I'm sitting here, I miss the power

I'd like to go out, taking a shower

But there's a heavy cloud inside my head

I feel so tired, I put myself into bed

Where nothing ever happens and I wonder

VI.  Katy Perry – “Wide awake”

1.Yeah, I was in the dark

I was falling hard

With an open heart

I'm wide awake

How did I read the stars so wrong

2.I'm wide awake

And now it's clear to me

That everything you see

Ain't always what it seems (I'm wide awake)

Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

[Pre-Chorus:]

I wish I knew then

What I know now

Wouldn't dive in

Wouldn't bow down

Gravity hurts

You made it so sweet

Till I woke up on

On the concrete

3.Falling from cloud nine

Crashing from the high

I'm letting go tonight

Yeah I'm falling from cloud nine

VIII. Maroon 5

I miss the taste of a sweet life
I miss the conversation
I’m searching for a song tonight
I’m changing all of the stations
I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road I took a fall
Oh baby why did you run away?
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you.
