Livin' on a Prayer
Bon Jovi
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough
So tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man
She brings home her pay for love
Mmm, for love
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other, and that's a lot
for love, We'll give it a shot
Oh, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk so tough
Mmm, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
She cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Baby it's okay
Someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other, and that's a lot
for love, we'll give it a shot
Oh, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer!
Ooh, we got to hold on
Ready or not
You live for the fight
when that's all that you've got
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear

Artist: The Hives
Song: Hate to Say I Told You So
Do what I want 'cause I can and if I don't, because I wanna
Be ignored by the stiff and the bored, because I'm gonna
Spit and retrieve 'cause I give and receive, because I wanna
Gonna get through your head, what the mystery man said, because I'm gonna
Hate to say I told you so, all right!
Come on!
Do believe I told you so
Now it's all out and you know
'Cause I wanted to!
Turn my back on the rot that's been planning the plot, because I'm gonna
No need for me to wait, because I wanna
No need 2, 3, too late, because I'm gonna
Hate to say I told you so, all right!
Come on!
Do believe I told you so
Do what I please, gonna spread the disease, because I wanna
Gonna call all the shots for the no's and the not's, because I wanna
Yeah
Ask me once I'll answer twice
'Cause what I know I'll tell, because I wanna
Sound advice and lots of ice, I'll spell my name out loud, because I wanna
Oh, yeah

Letting go - Straight lines
They say that if you love somebody
you gotta set them free,
and if you really love somebody
you gotta let them be.,
well i dont wanna tie you down
but we both need room to grow,
but its so easy havin you around
and the hardest part of love,
is letting go.
its easy to depend on someone
to be part of your life,
and all the time you spend with someone
could make you hold to tight,
will i dont wanna tie you down
we both need room to grow,
but its so easy havin you around,
and the hardest part of love is letting go
the hardest part of love is
lettin go oooh
the hardest part of love is
letting go
they say that if you hold on to it
that its gunna slip away,
but if the feeling is really true
then you know its gonna stay
well i dont wanan tie you down
we both need room to grow,
but its so easy havin you around
and the hardest part of love is,
letting go
letting go,
letting go,
the hardest part of love is letting go!!

Artist: AC/DC
Song: TNT
Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi
Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi
See me ride out of the sunset
On your color TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
Women to the left of me
And women to the right
Ain't got no gun
Ain't got no knife
But don't you start no fight
Tell ya why. .
Cause I'm T.N.T., I'm dynamite
T.N.T. and I'll win the fight
T.N.T. I'm a power load
T.N.T. watch me explode
Well I'm dirty, mean and mighty unclean
I'm a wanted man
Public enemy number one
understand?
So Lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door
And run for your life
The man is back in town
So don't you mess me 'round
Tell ya why
Cause I'm T.N.T., I'm dynamite
T.N.T. and I'll win the fight
T.N.T. I'm a power load
T.N.T. watch me explode
T.N.T. oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. oi, oi, oi

Title: Reward
Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news
The king sits on his face buttons all askew
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it too
Until I learn to accept my reward
Princes stand in queues they stand accused
Death in solitude like Howard Hughes
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
Silence has it
Arrogance has it
I can have it ooh
Until I learn to accept my reward
Suddenly it struck me very clear
Suddenly it struck me very clean
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
You can't have it
I can't have it too
Until I learn to accept my reward
Until I learn to accept my reward
Until I learn to accept my reward

Artist: The Police
Song: Spirits in the Material World
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail ya
The subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material
woooooooooooooooooooooorld
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits

Title: I Want To Be Free
Artist: Toyah Wilcox
I'm bored
don't want to go to school
don't want to be nobody's fool
want to be me
want to be me
don't want to be sweet and neat
don't want someone living my life for me
want to be free
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
don't want to be told what to wear
As long as you're warm who cares
want to be me
want to be me
So what if I dye my hair
I've still got a brain up there
And I'm going to be me
I'm going to be free
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
Tear down the wallpaper
Turf out the cat
Tear up the carpet
We've got rid of that
Blow up the TV
Blow up the car
Without these things
You don;t know where you are
Pull down the abbatoirs
And all that's obscene
Everything in life
Should be totally free
We should live and let live
And all live our dreams
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free

Artist: Rob Thomas
Song: Lonely No More
Now it seems to me
That you know just what to say
Words are only words
Can you show me something else
Can you swear to me that you'll always be this way
Show me how you feel
More than ever baby
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list
I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
Now its hard for me with my heart still on the mend
Open up to me, like you do your girlfriends
And you sing to me and it's harmony
Girl, what you do to me is everything
Make me say anything; just to get you back again
Why can we just try
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list
I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
What if I was good to you, what if you were good to me
What if I could hold you till I feel you move inside of me
What if it was paradise, what if we were symphonies
What if I gave all my life to find some way to stand beside you
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list
I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
I don't wanna be lonely anymore
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna be lonely no more

Title: Behind Blue Eyes
Artist Who
No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what its like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free
No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Thanks Ann!
Song; Ben
Artist: Michael Jackson
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
(here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
(anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)
I used to say, I and me
Now it's us, now its we
(I used to say, I and me)
(now it's us, now its we)
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend)
Like Ben
(like Ben)
Like Ben

The small chorus my daughter is in sang this one at the concert this evening
Title: Love Song
Artist: Sara Bareilles
Head under water
And you tell me
To breathe easy for awhile
The breathing gets harder
Even I know that
Made room for me
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you ask for it
Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a long song
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin'
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song
Today
Today..
I learnt the hard way
That they all say
Things you wanna hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under
You and Your twisted words
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you asked for it
Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin'
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song today
Promise me
You'll leave the light on
To help me see
The daylight my guide, gone
Cause I believe
There's a way
You can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
Cause you ask for it
Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this
Is that why you wanted a love song?
Cause you asked for it
Cause you need one
You see I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I walk the seven seas
When I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song
Today.
Today..

Phil Ochs, There But for Fortune Lyrics
Show me a prison, show me a jail
Show me a prisoner whose face has grown pale
And I'll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me an alley, show me a train
Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain
And I'll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
Show me a drunk as he stumbles out the door
And I'll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me a country where the bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins of buildings so tall
And I'll show you a young land
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
You or I

The Beatles
I'm a Loser
I'm a Loser, I'm a Loser,
and I'm not what I appear to be.
Of all the love I have won or have lost.
There is one love I should never have crossed.
She was a girl in a million my friend,
I should have known she would win in the end.
I'm a Loser,
and I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a Loser,
and I'm not what I appear to be.
Although I act and I laugh like a clown,
beneath this mask I am wearing a frown.
My tears are falling like rain from the sky,
is it for her or myself that I cry?
I'm a Loser,
and I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a Loser
and I'm not what I appear to be.
What have I done to deserve such a fate?
I realize I have left it too late.
And so it's true pride comes before a fall,
I'm telling you so that you won't loose all.
I'm a Loser,
and I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a Loser
and I'm not what I appear to be.

"Wasted Time" - The Eagles
Well baby, there you stand
With your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening
again
Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
and it looks like the end.
And you're back out on the street.
And you're tryin' to remember.
How will you start it over?
You don't know what became.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch,
But you can't hold your man.
You never thought you'd be alone this far
down the line
And I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time
The autumn leaves have got you thinking
about the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no
you just loved the boy to well, Farewell
So you live from day to day, and you dream
about tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes
and the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something to
make them go away
And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind from wondrin' what
I left behind and from worrying 'bout this wasted time
Ooh, another love has come and gone
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
"Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone."
So you can get on with your search, baby, and I can
get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find , that it wasn't really
wasted time
Mm,hm
Oh hoo, ooh, ohh,
Ooh,ooh, mm
