”Afraid of Everyone”
Melodie de: The National

Venom radio and
Venom television
I’m afraid of everyone
I’m afraid of everyone
Lay the young blue bodies
With the old red bodies
I’m afraid of everyone
I’m afraid of everyone
With my kid on my shoulders, I try
Not to hurt anybody I like
But I don’t have the drugs to sort
I don’t have the drugs to sort it out
Sort it out
I defend my family
With my orange umbrella
I’m afraid of everyone
I’m afraid of everyone
With my shining new star
Spangled tennis shoes on
I’m afraid of everyone
I’m afraid of everyone
With my kid on my shoulders, I try
Not to hurt anybody I like
But I don’t have the drugs to sort
I don’t have the drugs to sort it out
Sort it out
But I don’t have the drugs to sort
I don’t have the drugs to sort it out
Sort it out
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul, soul
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul, soul
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul, soul
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul, soul
You’re the voices swallowing
My soul, soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul, soul

”Fairytale of New York”
Melodie de: The Pogues (feat. Kirsty MacColl)

It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank
An old man said to me, „Won’t see another one”
And then he sang a song, „The Rare Old Mountain Dew”
I turned my face away and dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one, came in 18 to one
I’ve got a feeling this year’s for me and you
So happy Christmas, I love you, baby
I can see a better time when all our dreams come true
They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
(You were handsome) you were pretty, Queen of New York City
When the band finished playin’, they howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing „Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
(You’re a bum, you’re a punk) you’re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it’s our last
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing „Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
I could have been someone
Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me, babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing „Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day

”Contact”
Melodie De: The Police

[Verse 1]
I’ve got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote
I’d come on over but I haven’t got a raincoat

[Chorus]
Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown?
Can’t we be?

[Verse 2]
I’ve got contacts in my book and in my eyes
My good connection on the telephone never lies

[Chorus]
Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown?
Can’t we be?

[Verse 3]
I’ve got a list of the people I have known
I’m never alone on the end of a phone

[Chorus]
Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can’t we be?

[Verse 4]
I’ve got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote
I’d come on over but I haven’t got a raincoat
I’d come on over but I haven’t got a raincoat

[Chorus]
Have we got touchdown?
Can’t we be?
Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown?
Can’t we be?
Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown?

”Walking in Your Footsteps”
Melodie de: The Police

Fifty million years ago
You walked upon the planet so
Lord of all that you could see
Just a little bit like me
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Hey Mr. Dinosaur
You really couldn’t ask for more
You were God’s favorite creature
But you didn’t have a future
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Hey mighty brontosaurus
Don’t you have a lesson for us
You thought your rule would always last
There were no lessons in your past
You were built three stories high
They say you would not hurt a fly
If we explode the atom bomb
Would they say that we were dumb
We’re
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps

”Bastards of Young”
Melodie de: The Replacements

God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
It beats pickin’ cotton and waitin’ to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
Elvis in the ground, no waitin’ on beer tonight
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
It beats pickin’ cotton and waitin’ to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
Not daughters and the sons
Unwillingness to claim us
You got no war to name us (alright)
The ones who love us best are the ones we’ll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we’ll die to please
If it’s any consolation, I don’t begin to understand them
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
Daughters and the sons
Young, young
Young, young
Young
Take it, it’s yours
Take it, it’s yours
Take it, it’s yours
Take it, it’s yours
Take it, it’s yours
Take it, it’s yours
Take it, it’s yours
Take it, it’s yours
Take it, it’s yours

”I Will Dare”
Melodie de: The Replacements

How young are you?
How old am I?
Let’s count the rings around my eyes
How smart are you?
How dumb am I?
Don’t count any of my advice
Oh, meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now how are you, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I might dare
Call me on Thursday, if you will
Or call me on Wednesday, better still
Ain’t lost yet, so I gotta be a winner
Fingernails and a cigarette’s a lousy dinner
Young, are you?
Oh-oh, oh
Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now, I don’t care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare
Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now, I don’t care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare
Baby
How young are you?
How old am I?
Let’s count the rings around my eyes
How smart are you?
How smart are you?
How dumb am I?
Dumb, am I?
Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now, I don’t care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare
Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now, I don’t care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare

”Birds”
Melodie de: The Veils

Through the charred black winter trees,
I hear their voices sing to me.
Fearsome black birds crying high,
But there’ll be no warning when I die.
Some lonesome sparrow saying don’t you know, that you’re gone forever when you go
Oh, and i hear them calling
Through my window every morning
Your life dear boy means nothing.
Say the birds, The birds, the birds

Then by the willow I did see
A swarm of buzzing honey bees
„Good morning honey bees” I cried
But to me they offered no reply
And that fearsome black bird answered instead
„Boy there’s now a price put on your head”

Oh, and I hear ‘em them calling
From my window every morning
„Your life, dear boy, means nothing”
Say the birds, the birds, the birds.
No use hiding in the water.
No use hiding in the sqaure.
Know those eyes are looking for you everywhere.

Well you’ll be glad my love to hear,
One morning they did all disappear.
Tired of all the summer rain, they made their nest inside my brain.
But don’t worry darling, pay it no mind- true friends like these are hard to find.

Now I no longer hear ‘em calling
From my window every morning
And my life, at last means something
Say the birds, the birds, the birds.

”Ani de liceu”
Melodie de: Stela Enache

Timp, încotro mergi?
Spre ce meleaguri noi grăbit alergi?
Și cum poți într-o zi
Să schimbi în oameni mari niște copii?

Ani de liceu cu emoții la română
Scumpii ani de liceu
Când la mate’ dai de greu
Ani de liceu când ții Soarele în mână
Și te crezi legendarul Prometeu.
Ani, ani de liceu…
Ani, ani de liceu…

Timp, nu fi hain
Să mai fim liceeni măcar puțin
Și, vrei ori nu vrei
Anii de școală verzi
Se duc și ei…

Ani de liceu cu emoții la română
Scumpii ani de liceu
Când la mate’ dai de greu
Ani de liceu când ții Soarele în mână
Și te crezi legendarul Prometeu.
Ani, ani de liceu…
Ani, ani de liceu…

”Neon Wilderness”
Melodie de: The Verve

In a neon wilderness
He was restless
Escape loneliness
Find a new address
Stood before I sink (in a neon wilderness)
Spilled my last drink (he was restless)
Said goodbye to my new friends (escape loneliness)
(I found a new address, ah, ah, ah)
In the last room (ah, ah, ah-ah)
I hear a boom (ah, ah, ah)
Someone else’s distress (ah, ah, ah-ah)
In a neon wilderness (ah, ah, ah)
Someone else’s distress (ah, ah, ah-ah)
In a neon wilderness (ah, ah, ah)
And I hear a boom (ah, ah, ah-ah)
In a neon wilderness
He was restless
Escape loneliness
Find a new address (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)
In a neon wilderness (ah, ah, ah-ah)
He was restless (ah, ah, ah-ah)
Escape loneliness (ah, ah, ah-ah)
Find a new address (ah, ah, ah-ah)

”Reunion”
Melodie de: The xx

Revisit a life we both left behind
We don’t know the harm
Move to the ever moving, all blazing
We go over and over, and over, and over again

If I wait too long, I lose you from my sight
Maybe tonight
I could stop dreaming and start believing in
Forever and ever, and ever, and ever again

Reunion, reunion

Reunion, reunion
Never not ever, never not ever again

When there’s burning inside, do you give it up?
How long should I wait?
There’s no need to hide
When there’s only you in here

There’s an end to us with someone else in sight
You shine your light
And there goes that feeling, won’t let me see them
Never not ever, never not ever again

Did I
See you
See me
In a new light?

Did I
See you
See me
In a new light?

Did I
See you
See me
In a new light? (Never not ever again)

Did I (never again)
See you (never again)
See me (never not ever)
In a new light? (Never not ever again)

Did I
See you
See me
Never not ever, never not ever again

”Semi-Charmed Life”
Melodie de: Third Eye Blind

I’m packed and I’m holdin’
I’m smilin’, she’s livin’, she’s golden
She lives for me, says she lives for me
Ovation, her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile, like a drug for you
Do ever what you wanna do, comin’ over you
Keep on smilin’ what we go through
One stop to the rhythm, that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games to play, she said
I want somethin’ else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life
Baby, baby
I want somethin’ else
I’m not listenin’ when you say
Goodbye
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was takin’ sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
Smilin’ in the pictures you would take
Doin’ crystal meth, will lift you up until you break
It won’t stop, I won’t come down
I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm
I bump for the drop, and then I bumped up
I took the hit that I was given, then I bumped again
Then I bumped again, I said
How do I get back there
To the place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to the place where you said
I want somethin’ else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life
Baby, baby
I want somethin’ else
I’m not listenin’ when you say
Goodbye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I’m with you I feel like I could die
And that would be alright, alright
And when the plane came in, she said she was crashin’
The velvet it rips in the city
We tripped on the urge to feel alive
Now I’m struggling to survive
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You’re the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties they pass the test
Slides up around the belly, face down on the mattress
One
And you hold me, and we’re broken
Still it’s all that I wanna do, just a little now
Feel myself, heavy on the ground
I’m scared, I’m not comin’ down
No, no
And I won’t run for my life
She’s got her jaws now locked down in a smile
But nothin’ is alright, alright
And I want somethin’ else
To get me through this life
Baby, I want somethin’ else
Not listenin’ when you say
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was takin’ sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
In the place we used to start
I want somethin’ else

”Fraction Too Much Friction”
Melodie de: Tim Finn

There’s a fraction, too much friction
There’s a fraction, too much friction
There’s a fraction, too much friction, yeah, yeah
There’s a fraction, too much friction
Take a typical man put him
With a typical woman then
Sit back and watch everything slide
It’s a perfectly natural
Expression of ill will but
When will hostilities subside?
There’s a fraction, too much friction
There’s a fraction, too much friction, yeah
Don’t believe in opposing factions
What we need is some positive action
There’s a fraction, too much friction, yeah, oh, yeah
It’s a very old problem that
Goes back to the dark ages
The wages of original sin
Let’s make it a better world
Let’s shake it you, boys and girls
It’s never too late to begin
There’s a fraction, too much friction
There’s a fraction, too much friction, yeah
Men and woman need each other
Should be like sister and brother
There’s a fraction, too much friction, yeah, oh, yeah
La la la
Look for a man who will love his woman
Look for a woman who will love her man
Look for a man who will love his woman
Look for a woman who will love her man
I swallowed my pride for you
My personal highs bore you
You’re too wrapped up in your own world
I’m not a man for nothing
I gotta become someone
Inside this oyster there’s a pearl
There’s a fraction, too much friction
There’s a fraction, too much friction, yeah
Holding on to the bygone era
Everybody shout ‘cause we’re getting nearer
There’s a fraction, too much friction, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
What we need is some positive action
What we need is some positive thought, yeah

”Chains”
Melodie de: Tina Arena

Your arms are warm but they make me feel
As if they’re made of cold, cold steel
A simple kiss like a turnin’ key
A little click and the lock’s on me

Can’t move my arms, can’t lift my hands
I won’t admit to where I am
But I know baby, I’m in chains
I’m in chains

I pretend I can always leave
Free to go whenever I please
But then the sound of my desperate calls
Echo off these dungeon walls

I’ve crossed the line from mad to sane
A thousand times and back again
I love you baby, I’m in chains
I’m in chains
I’m in chains
I’m in chains
Should have known passing through the gate
That once inside I could not escape
I never thought this could happen to me
Never thought this is where I’d be

But baby, baby, baby, look at me
I said baby, baby, look at me
I’m in chains
(Baby, baby I’m in chains)

Yeah I’m in chains I’m in chains
(Baby, baby I’m in chains)
I never thought this is where I’d be
Never thought this could happen to me

(Chains, baby, baby I’m in chains, chains)
Baby, baby please I’m in chains
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
(Chains, baby, baby I’m in chains, chains)
(Baby, baby I’m in chains) Hey, hey

”It’s Only Love”
Melodie de: Tina Turner & Bryan Adams

[Verse 1: Bryan Adams]
When the feeling has ended
There ain’t no use pretending
Don’t you worry, it’s only love
When your world has been shattered
Ain’t nothing else matters
It ain’t over, it’s only love
And that’s all, yeah

[Verse 2: Tina Turner]
When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain’t easy, but it’s only love
And if your life ain’t worth living
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember that it’s only love, oh

[Bridge: Bryan Adams & Tina Turner, Bryan Adams]
You can live without the aggravation
You gotta wanna win, you gotta wanna win
You keep looking back in desperation
Over and over and over again

[Outro: Bryan Adams, Tina Turner, Both]
Yeah, yeah, it’s only love, baby
Oh, yeah, hey, hey
Ooh, baby, baby, it’s only love, love, love
Love, love, love
When your world has been shattered
Ain’t nothing else matters
It ain’t over, it’s only love
If your life ain’t worth living
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember that it’s only love, yeah
That’s all
Yeah, it ain’t easy, baby, it’s only love
