8:47 pm - Who Wants to Live Forever - Queen
|
There's no time for us;
there's no place for us.
What is this thing that builds our dreams,
yet slips away from us?
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us -
it's all decided for us.
This world has only one sweet moment
set aside for us.
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever,
when love must die?
But touch my tears with your lips,
touch my world with your fingertips.
And we can have forever,
and we can love forever.
Forever is ours today!
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is ours today...
Who waits forever anyway?

3:45 pm - The Show Must Go On - Queen
|
Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score.
On and on - does anybody know what we are looking for?
Another hero, another mindless crime
behind the curtain, in the pantomime?
Hold the line - does anybody want to take it anymore?
The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
my makeup may be flaking, but my smile
still stays on.
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance:
another heartache, another failed romance.
On and on - does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning I must be warmer now.
I'll soon be turning round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!
The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
my makeup may be flaking, but my smile
still stays on.
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies;
fairytales of yesterday that grow, but never die.
I can fly, my friends!
The show must go on!
The show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin,
I'm never giving in -
on with the show!
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill,
I have to find the way to carry
on with the show!
The show must go on...

4:48 pm - The Impossible Dream - Man of La Mancha
|
To dream the impossible dream -
To fight the unbeatable foe -
To bear with unbearable sorrow -
To run where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrightable wrong -
To love pure and chaste from afar -
To try when your arms are too weary -
To reach the unreachable star!
This is my quest
to follow that star,
no matter how hopeless,
no matter how far!
To fight for the right
without question or pause -
To be willing to march into hell
for a heavenly cause!
And I know
if I'll only be true
to this glorious quest,
that my heart
will lie peaceful and calm
when I'm laid to my rest.
And the world will be better for this,
that one man, scorned and covered with scars,
still strove with his last ounce of courage
to reach the unreachable stars!

2:41 pm - Losing My Religion - R. E. M.
|
Oh, life is bigger,
it's bigger than you,
and you are not me.
The lengths that I will go to -
the distance in your eyes.
Oh no, I've said too much -
I set it up.
That's me in the corner,
that's me in the spotlight,
losing my religion.
Trying to keep up with you,
and I don't know if I can do it...
Oh no, I've said too much -
I haven't said enough.
I thought that I heard you laughing,
I thought that I heard you sing.
I think I thought I saw you try...
Every whisper,
every waking hour,
I'm choosing my confessions,
trying to keep an eye on you,
like a hurt, lost and blind fool - fool...
Oh no, I've said too much -
I set it up.
Consider this -
the hint of the century.
Consider this.
The slip
that brought me to my knees, pale.
What if all these fantasies
come flailing around?
Now I've said too much...
I thought that I heard you laughing,
I thought that I heard you sing.
I think I thought I saw you try...
That was just a dream...

9:38 pm - Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
|
(Turn around...)
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely, and you're never coming 'round.
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears.
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by.
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified, and then I see the look in your eyes.
(Turn around, bright eyes.)
Every now and then I fall apart -
Every now and then I fall apart...
(Turn around...)
Every now and then I get a little bit restless, and I dream of something wild.
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless, and I'm lying like a child in your arms.
Every now and then I get a little bit angry, and I know I've got to get out and cry!
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified, but then I see the look in your eyes.
(Turn around, bright eyes.)
Every now and then I fall apart -
Every now and then I fall apart...
And I need you now tonight,
and I need you more than ever,
and if you only hold me tight,
we'll be holding on forever!
And we'll only be making it right,
'cause we'll never be wrong.
Together we can take it to the end of the line -
your love is like a shadow on me all of the time!
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark -
we're living in a powder keg and giving up sparks.
I really need you tonight!
Forever's gonna start tonight.
Forever's gonna start...
Once upon a time I was falling in love -
now I'm only falling apart.
There's nothing I can do,
a total eclipse of the heart...
Once upon a time there was light in my life,
but now there's only love in the dark.
Nothing I can say,
a total eclipse of the heart...
(Turn around, bright eyes -
turn around...)
Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be.
But every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am!
Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you.
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better, there's nothing that I just wouldn't do!
(Turn around, bright eyes.)
Every now and then I fall apart -
Every now and then I fall apart...
And I need you now tonight,
and I need you more than ever,
and if you only hold me tight,
we'll be holding on forever!
And we'll only be making it right,
'cause we'll never be wrong.
Together we can take it to the end of the line -
your love is like a shadow on me all of the time!
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark -
we're living in a powder keg and giving up sparks.
I really need you tonight!
Forever's gonna start tonight.
Forever's gonna start...
Once upon a time I was falling in love -
now I'm only falling apart.
Nothing I can do,

Once upon a time there was light in my life -
now there's only love in the dark.
Nothing I can say,
a total eclipse of the heart,
a total eclipse of the heart...

12:21 am - Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
|
Bows and flows of angel hair,
and ice cream castles in the air,
and feather canyons everywhere -
I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun,
they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done,
but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
from up and down, and still somehow
it's clouds' illusions I recall -
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
the dizzy dancing way you feel,
as every fairytale comes real -
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show,
you leave 'em laughing when you go.
And if you care, don't let them know -
don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,
from give and take, and still somehow
it's love's illusions I recall -
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud
to say "I love you" right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds -
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
they shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Well, something's lost, but something's gained
in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
from win and lose, and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall -
I really don't know life at all.

10:58 pm - Now When the Rain Falls - The Scarlet Pimpernel
|
Now when the rain falls, it's heavy and gray,
it tumbles and pitches through space.
I can remember when rain was soft,
when you kissed the rain from my face.
Now when the wind blows, I run from its touch.
With you, wind was silk on my skin.
People in love walk inside the wind,
where nothing can hurt you, it holds you too close -
but now I'm outside, looking in.
One day all my world circled about you.
Now that I move on without you,
nothing on earth is the same!
Do you remember the sweep of the rain,
the sound of it strumming the sky?
People in love walk inside that song.
But now when I listen, the melody's changed -
the rain only whispers "goodbye"...
I don't want to cry when I think of you,
but now when the rain falls, I do...

11:46 pm - Ein Kompliment - Sportfreunde Stiller
|
Thanks, Hannah, for introducing me to that song (though the download - ooops, evil illegal thing! - is still not finished *head hits keyboard* *hard*).
Wenn man so will,
bist du das Ziel einer langen Reise,
die Perfektion der besten Art und Weise:
In stillen Momenten leise -
die Schaumkrone der Woge der Begeisterung,
bergauf mein Antrieb und Schwung.
Ich wollte dir nur mal eben sagen,
dass du das Größte für mich bist,
und sichergehen, ob du denn dasselbe für mich fühlst,
für mich fühlst.
Wenn man so will,
bist du meine Chillout-Area,
meine Feiertage in jedem Jahr,
meine Süßwarenabteilung im Supermarkt -
die Lösung, wenn mal was hakt,
so wertvoll, dass man es sich gerne aufspart,
und so schön, dass man nie darauf verzichten mag.
Ich wollte dir nur mal eben sagen,
dass du das Größte für mich bist,
und sichergehen, ob du denn dasselbe für mich fühlst,
für mich fühlst.

8:49 pm - Dante's Prayer - Loreena McKennitt
|
When the dark wood fell before me
and all the paths were overgrown -
when the priests of pride say there is no other way,
I tilled the sorrows of stone.
I did not believe because I could not see,
though you came to me in the night.
When the dawn seemed forever lost,
you showed me your love in the light of the stars.
Cast your eyes on the ocean,
cast your soul to the sea.
When the dark night seems endless,
please remember me!
Then the mountain rose before me
by the deep well of desire,
from the fountain of forgiveness,
beyond the ice and the fire.
Cast your eyes on the ocean,
cast your soul to the sea.
When the dark night seems endless,
please remember me!
Though we share this humble path, alone -
how fragile is the heart.
Oh, give these clay feet wings to fly
to touch the face of the stars.
Breathe life into this feeble heart,
lift this mortal veil of fear.
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears -
we'll rise above these earthly cares.
Cast your eyes on the ocean,
cast your soul to the sea.
When the dark night seems endless,
please remember me -
please remember me.

9:17 pm - Come What May - Moulin Rouge
|
Christian: Never knew I could feel like this;
like I've never seen the sky before.
I want to vanish inside your kiss -
every day I love you more and more!
Listen to my heart - can you hear it sings,
telling me to give you everything.
Seasons may change, winter to spring,
but I love you until the end of time.
Come what may,
come what may -
I will love you
until my dying day!
Satine: Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace.
Christian & Satine: Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,
but our world revolves around you.
And there's no mountain too high, no river too wide -
sing out this song and I'll be there by your side!
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide,
but I love you until the end of time.
Come what may,
come what may -
I will love you until my dying day!
Oh, come what may,
come what may -
I will love you.
I will love you...
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place!
Come what may,
come what may -
I will love you until my dying day!

5:54 pm - He Doesn't See Me - Sarah Brightman
|
When he passes me by, he's a ray of light,
like the first drop of sun from the sky.
And I know he's a king who deserves a queen,
but I'm not a queen.
And he doesn't see me...
When he dances, he moves me to a smile,
and I see everything near him shine.
There's a grace in his ways that I can't contain -
I haven't that grace.
Oh, I haven't that grace...
And the closer he gets, I can't help but hide,
so ashamed of my body and voice.
There are boundaries we pass in spite of the war,
but our own ones we can't seem to cross...
She has a way that surrounds her so delicate,
with a glory that reigns in her life.
She is also so much that she is not.
These things I can see, as he doesn't see me.
And he doesn't see me...
There are things we can change, if we just choose to fight,
but the walls of injustice are high!
When he passes me by, he's a ray of light,
like the first drop of sun from the sky.
And I know he's a king who deserves a queen -
someone other than me,
so different from me.
He doesn't see me...

11:34 pm - Pieces of You - Jewel

She's an ugly girl - does that make you want to kill her?
She's an ugly girl - do you want to kick in her face?
She's an ugly girl - she doesn't pose a threat?
She's an ugly girl - does that make you feel safe?
Ugly girl, ugly girl - do you hate her 'cause she's pieces of you?
She's a pretty girl - does she make you think nasty thoughts?
She's a pretty girl - do you want to tie her down?
She's a pretty girl - do you call her a bitch?
She's a pretty girl - did she sleep with your whole town?
Pretty girl, pretty girl - do you hate her 'cause she's pieces of you?
You say he's a faggot - does it make you want to hurt him?
You say he's a faggot - do you wanna kick in his brains?
You say he's a faggot - does he make you sick to your stomach?
You say he's a faggot - are you afraid you are just the same?
Faggot, faggot - do you hate him 'cause he's pieces of you?
You say he's a Jew - does it mean that he's tight?
You say he's a Jew - do you want to hurt his kids tonight?
You say he's a Jew - he'll never wear that funny hat again.
You say he's a Jew, as though being born were a sin.
Oh Jew, oh Jew - do you hate him 'cause he's pieces of you?
Do you hate him 'cause he's pieces of you?

10:36 pm - Foolish Games - Jewel
|
You took your coat off and stood in the rain -
you were always crazy like that.
And I watched from my window; always felt I was outside,
looking in on you.
You were always the mysterious one, with dark eyes and careless hair.
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care.
You stood in my doorway with nothing to say,
besides some comment on the weather.
Well, in case you failed to notice,
in case you failed to see:
This is my heart bleeding before you,
this is me down on my knees!
These foolish games are tearing me apart,
and your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart...
You were always brilliant in the morning, smoking your cigarettes
and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
you loved Mozart,
and you'd speak of your loved ones,
as I clumsily strummed my guitar.
You'd teach me of honest things,
things that were daring, things that were clean -
things that knew what an honest dollar did mean.
I hid my soiled hands behind my back...
Somewhere along the line I must have gone off track with you.
Excuse me - think I've mistaken you for somebody else,
somebody who gave a damn,
somebody more like myself!
These foolish games are tearing me, you're tearing me, you're tearing me apart,
and your thoughtless words are breaking my heart!
You're breaking my heart...
You took your coat off and stood in the rain -
you were always crazy like that.

2:34 pm - Warum kannst du mich nicht lieben - Mozart!
|
Ich hab geglaubt,
du wärst hergekommen,
um dich mit mir zu freuen.
Du hast gedacht,
ich wär hilflos ohne dich,
und alleine würde ich
meinen Mut bald bereuen.
Doch wenn ich dir sage:
"Schau her - ich hab dich nicht enttäuscht!"
siehst du gar nicht richtig her
und lässt mich stehn.
Warum kannst du mich nicht lieben,
wie ich bin?
Ja, du hast Recht -
auf mich ist oft kein Verlass,
ich vergess meine Pflichten.
So bin ich halt -
ich hab Hunger nach Glück,
ich greif nach dem Augenblick
und kann nicht verzichten.
Ich will's auch nicht!
Das Kind, das ich gewesen bin,
steckt noch immer in mir drin.
Und es fragt wie ich:
Warum kannst du mich nicht lieben,
wie ich bin?
Ich such nach dir und kann dich nicht erreichen,
ich sprech mit dir, doch du hörst mir nicht zu.
Und das Schlimmste ist: Ich weiß nicht,
warum ich dich verloren habe!
Ich kann nicht sein, wie jeder ist,
und ich kann nicht sein, wie du bist!
Statt allen zu gefallen,
muss ich werden, wer ich bin!
Niemals werd ich wieder so geborgen sein
wie in Kindertagen.
So lang ich leb, werd ich die Erinnerung daran
wie einen Schatz in mir tragen.
Doch es gibt kein Zurück,
denn ich muss nun meinen eignen Weg gehn -
jetzt umzukehren wär Unsinn!
Ist das so schwer zu verstehn?
Warum kannst du mich nicht lieben?
Warum kannst du mich nicht lieben?
Warum kannst du mich nicht lieben,
wie ich bin?

8:20 pm - I Never Knew His Name - The Civil War
|
I never knew his name,
as he called to me,
pleading with his eyes,
suddenly so wise -
trying not to cry.
Now he's gone, and I
never knew his name...
I've seen his kind before,
rising to his fall -
God, he was so young,
like a song half-sung,
interrupted by
someone just as shy,
who never knew his name...
The true cost of honour is suddenly too clear,
in measures too full and dear...
He always looks the same,
dressed in blue or gray.
All the life he'll miss,
girls he'll never kiss,
things he'll never try -
unaware that I
never knew his name.
I never knew his name -
guess it's just as well.
So I do my part,
hiding from my heart,
whispering "goodbye" -
thanking God that I
never knew his name...

9:55 pm - I'll Forget You - Linda Eder
|
I'll forget you -
the more you stay inside of me, the weaker I grow.
I'll forget you -
tomorrow I will turn and let you go.
I'll grow colder;
I'll lose myself in anything but you now,
for there is nothing I can do now
but forget.
I'll forget you -
I won't remember arms that pulled me in soft and slow.
I'll forget you -
there has to be a way to let you go!
No more shadows,
no dreams of leaning in the dark above you.
I will forget how much I love you
any day...
But every evening shivers
with the chance that you are near,
and every morning whispers:
"He is here..."
Each moment is a fight
not to rush into your light,
not to move closer,
but to make you disappear!
I'll forget you -
I've got to find the strength to pull away from your glow.
I'll forget you -
God help me see the way to let you go!
I do not want you,
and still you steal each breath I'm breathing from me -
with just a touch you overcome me,
and I let you.
I will forget you
when I die.
I will forget you.
I will forget you...

12:26 am - Solitude - Evanescence
|
How many times have you told me you love her?
As many times as I wanted to tell you the truth...
How long have I stood here beside you?
I lived through you - you looked through me...
Oh, solitude, still with me is only you.
Oh, solitude, I can't stay away from you...
How many times have I done this to myself?
How long will it take before I see?
When will this hole in my heart be mended?
Who now is left alone but me?
Oh, solitude, forever me and forever you -
Oh, solitude, only you - only true...
Everyone leaves me stranded,
forgotten, abandoned, left behind.
I can't stay here another night...
Your secret admirer, who could it be?
Can't you see all along it was me?
How can you be so blind as to see right through me?
Solitude - still with me is only you.
Oh, solitude, I can't stay away from you!
Solitude - forever me and forever you.
Oh, solitude - only you, only true...

8:05 pm - Fields of Gold - Eva Cassidy
|
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
among the fields of barley.
You can tell the sun in its jealous sky
when we walked in fields of gold...
So she took her love for to gaze a while
among the fields of barley.
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
among the fields of gold.
Will you stay with me? Will you be my love
among the fields of barley?
You can tell the sun in its jealous sky
when we walked in fields of gold.
I never made promises lightly -
there've been some that I've broken.
But I swear in the days still left
we'll walk in fields of gold.
We'll walk in fields of gold...
Many years have passed since those summer days
among the fields of barley.
See the children run as the sun goes down,
as you lie in fields of gold.
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
among the fields of barley.
You can tell the sun in its jealous sky
when we walked in fields of gold,
when we walked in fields of gold.
When we walked in fields of gold...

4:06 pm - Hopelessly Devoted - Grease
|
Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
my eyes are not the first to cry.
I'm not the first to know:
There's just no getting over you.
I'm just a fool who's willing
to sit around and wait for you.
But baby, can't you see?
There's nothing else for me to do -
I'm hopelessly devoted to you.
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside,
I'm not in my head -
Hopelessly devoted to you...
My head is saying: "Fool, forget it!"
My heart is saying: "Don't let go."
Hold on to the end,
that's what I intend to do -
I'm hopelessly devoted to you!
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside,
I'm not in my head -
Hopelessly devoted to you...
