Africa by Toto

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars,
That guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say,
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have, oooh

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises as like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside,
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have, oooh

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you.

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa,
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa,
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, oooh

Don't Stop Believin' by Journey


Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

(Chorus)
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

(Chorus)
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
woahhh, woahhhh

Don't stop believin'
Hold on...
Streetlight people
Ohhh, woahhhh
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people

Hate To Say I Told You So by The Hives


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
ALRIGHT
Come on
Do believe I told you so
Now it's all out and you knew
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 two, three, too late
Because I'm gonna

Hate to say I told you so
ALRIGHT
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 device and lots of ice
I'll spell my name out loud
Because I wanna

OH YEAH

Nights In White Satin by The Moody Blues


Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I cant say anymore.

'cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.

Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going thru
They can understand.

Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,

And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I cant say anymore.

cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

The Riddle by Nik Kershaw


I've got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon
Time to carry on
and try for sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
Wise men save

[chorus]
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
but he'll never, never fight over you

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
and days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Oh for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you

It's not me you see
Pieces of Valentine
and just a song of mine
to keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold

[chorus repeat]

I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors
Without a plan of yours
a blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Wise mens child

[chorus repeat (2x)]
..but he'll never, never fight over you

The Touch by Stan Bush


You got the touch
You got the power

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run,
You're a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You're nobody's fool

You're at your best when when the goin' gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You never bend, you never break
You seem to know just what it takes
You're a fighter

It's in the blood, it's in the will
It's in the mighty hands of steel
When you're standin' your ground

And you never get hit when your back's to the wall
Gonna fight to the end and you're takin' it all

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You're fightin' fire with fire
You know you got the touch

You're at your best when when the road gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

You got the touch
You got the power

Vienna by Ultravox


Walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until

The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings
A cool empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance

The image has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

Wouldn't It Be Good by Nik Kershaw


I got it bad,
You don't know how bad I got it.
You got it easy,
You don't know when you've got it good.
It's getting harder
Just keeping life and soul together.
I'm sick of fighting
Even though I know I should.
The cold is biting
Through each and every nerve and fibre,
My broken spirit is frozen to the core.
Don't wanna be here no more.

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes,
Even if it was for just one day?
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away?
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side?
The grass is always greener over there.
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care?

You must be joking
You don't know a thing about it.
You've got no problem,
I'd stay right there if it were you.
I got it harder,
You couldn't dream how hard it got it.
Stay out of my shoes
If you know what's good for you.
The heat is stifling,
Burning me up from the inside,
The sweat is coming through each and every pore.
Don't wanna be here no more...
Don't wanna be here no more...
Don't wanna be here no more...

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes,
Even if it was for just one day?
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away?
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side?
The grass is always greener over there.
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care?

I got it bad,
You don't know how bad I got it.
You got it easy,
You don't know when you've got it good.
It's getting harder
Just keeping life and soul together.
I'm sick of fighting
Even though I know I should.
