”Metal Heart”
Melodie de: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers

Losing the stars without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You’re losing the calling that you’ve been faking
Yeah, I’m not kidding
It’s damned if you don’t and it’s damned if you do
Be true, ‘cause they’ll lock you up in a sad, sad zoo
Oh, hidy-hidy-hiding, whatcha trying to prove?
Hidy-hide, you’re not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
Blue smoke will take a very violent flight
You will be changed and everything
And you will be in a very sad, sad zoo
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see you
How selfish of you
To believe in all the meaning, all, all the bad dreaming all
Metal heart, you’re not hiding
Metal heart, you’re not worth a thing
Metal heart, you’re not hiding
Metal heart, you’re not worth a thing
You’re not worth a thing
You’re not worth a thing
You’re not worth a thing
You’re not worth a thing
Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you feel
You don’t know how you feel
Metal heart, you’re not worth a thing (I was lost)
Metal heart you’re not hiding (I’m not hiding)
Metal heart, you’re not worth a thing
Once was lost
I was blind
And now I see, oh

”I Love You Too Much”
Melodie de: Bee Gees

You say you don’t need me
I know where your love goes
You go missing after midnight
I should know better and the bed is cold
And if you think I’m not the real thing
I don’t wanna die of hunger
I got my world created for you
But you don’t stay
Not my imagination no more
I can’t be dealing with the bad girl
Lives in your head
You got your someone I, don’t cry
You go and take a strangers love instead

Over you is where I should be
I could be loving you too much
Under me is where you should be
I could be loving you too much

You know I love the way you do it
When you do it right
You ain’t no one man woman
Were you ever
If you don’t come back running
When you’ve had enough
And baby, you got it, I want it
Show me what’s left of your love

Over you is where I should be
I could be loving you too much
Under me is where you should be
I could be loving you too much

I won’t be no dirty weekend
I stay with you for good
He can be your outside lover
I’ve got eyes
I know he’s in your blood
Just let me hold you for the hour
I go where you lead me
I need some inspiration from you
I’m ready for the mystery, take me
Don’t let me fall
Don’t let me drown down here in the rain
There is no alibi, don’t lie
You love a stranger and the world is pain

Over you is where I should be
I could be loving you too much
Under me is where you should be
I could be loving you too much
Too much, too much
Too much, too much
Too much, too much
Too much, too much (come a little bit closer)
Too much, too much (come a little bit closer)
Too much, too much (come a little bit closer)
Too much, too much (come a little bit closer)
Too much, too much (come a little bit closer)

”I Love You Too Much”
Melodie de: Wayne Wade

Whoa, baby
Yeah
I stopped sending flowers to your apartment
You said you weren’t around much anymore, yeah

But that’s a promise I can’t keep
‘Cause I love you too much to ever start likin’ you
Let’s leave the story here to end, no
I love you too much to ever start likin’ you
So don’t expect me to be your friend, no

Introduce me to your latest lover, yeah

”The Young Ones””
Melodie de: Cliff Richard

The young ones
Darling, we’re the young ones
And young ones shouldn’t be afraid
To live, love while the flame is strong
For we may not be the young ones very long
Tomorrow
Why wait until tomorrow?
‘Cause tomorrow
Sometimes never comes
So love me
There’s a song to be sung
And the best time is to sing it while we’re young
Once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
I need you, you need me
Oh, my darling, can’t you see?
The young dreams should be dreamed together
And young hearts shouldn’t be afraid
And some day when the years have flown
Darling, then we’ll teach the young ones of our own
Once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh, I need you, you need me
Oh, my darling, can’t you see?
The young dreams should be dreams together
And young hearts shouldn’t be afraid
And some day when the years have flown
Darling, then we’ll teach the young ones of our own

”Thinking Of You”
Melodie de: A Perfect Circle

Lying all alone and restless
unable to lose this image
sleepless, unable to focus on
anything but your surrender

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that’s in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender…

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that’s in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation sweet

Thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, Thinking of you, Thinking of you, thinking…

Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation

”Hey Jealousy”
Melodie de: Gin Blossoms

Well, tell me do you think it’d be all right
If I could just crash here tonight?
You can see I’m in no shape for driving
And anyway, I’ve got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I’d ever had
If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone, but something might be found
To take its place
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
And if you don’t expect too much from me
You might not be let down
‘Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone, but something might be found
To take its place
Hey jealousy
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone, but something might be found
To take its place
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Well, tell me, do you think it’d be all right
If I could just crash here tonight?
You can see I’m in no shape for driving
And anyway, I’ve got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I’d ever had
If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone, but something might be found
To take its place
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
She took my heart
Well, there’s only one thing I couldn’t start

”Tenderness”
Melodie de: General Public

I don’t know when to start or when to stop
My luck’s like a button
I can’t stop pushing it
My head feels light
But I’m still in the dark
Seems like without tenderness
There’s something missing
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is it?
I don’t know where I am but I know I don’t like it
I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence
I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you’re here but
Next night you’re not
It always leaves me searching for a little
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?
Whistling in the graveyard
Calling up your girlfriend
Just trying to make her understand
You’re squeezing the telephone like it was her hand
No question (so many questions)
She’s going to catch you out, boy
It all seems so underhand
Now she’s the only thing that ever made
You feel like a man, man, madman, madman
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Tenderness
Tenderness
Where is it?
I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you’re here but
Next night you’re not
It always leaves me searching for a little
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?
When you’re sick to death of second best, pet
Why should the morning always find you unimpressed?
Is your love like a button?
You can’t stop pushing it?
Oh this all night longing can be such a long time

”For Your Eyes Only”
Melodie de: Sheena Easton

For your eyes only
Can see me through the night
For your eyes only
I never need to hide
You can see so much in me
So much in me that’s new
I never felt ‘til I looked at you
For your eyes only
Only for you
You see what no one else can see
And now I’m breaking free
For your eyes only
Only for you
The love I know you need in me
The fantasy you freed in me
Only for you
Only for you
For your eyes only
The nights are never cold
You really know me
That’s all I need to know
Maybe I’m an open book
Because I know you’re mine
But you won’t need
To read between the lines
For your eyes only
Only for you
You’ll see what no one else can see
And now I’m breaking free
For your eyes only
Only for you
The passions that collide in me
The wild abandoned side of me
Only for you
For your eyes only

”Stop”
Melodie de: Sam Brown

All that I have is all that you’ve given me
Did you never worry that I’d come to depend on you?
I gave you all the love I had in me
Now I find you’ve lied and I can’t believe it’s true
Wrapped in her arms, I see you across the street (I see you across the street)
And I can’t help but wonder if she knows what’s going on (ooh-ooh)
Oh, you talk of love, but you don’t know how it feels
When you realize that you’re not the only one
Oh, you’d better stop (stop, ooh) before you tear me all apart
You’d better stop (stop) before you go and break my heart
Ooh, you’d better stop
Time after time I’ve tried to walk away (I’ve tried to walk away)
But it’s not that easy when your soul is torn in two (ooh-ooh)
So I just resign myself to it every day (oh, every day)
Now all I can do is to leave it up to you
Oh, you’d better stop (stop, ooh) before you tear me all apart
You’d better stop (stop) before you go and break my heart
Ooh, you’d better stop
If love me (you will remember)
Now’s the time to be sorry (that day forever)
I won’t believe that you’d walk out on me, baby
Ooh
Oh, you’d better stop (stop, ooh) before you tear me all apart
You’d better stop (stop) before you go and break my heart
Ooh, you’d better stop (you better, you better)
Baby, stop (you better, you better)
Oh, oh, oh
You’d better stop (you better), oh, stop (you better)
Baby, stop, baby, stop
(You better, you better)
You’d better stop, stop, stop, stop (you better, you better)
(You better) stop
(You better, you better) ooh
You’d better stop
(You better, you better) oh, yeah (you better)
(You better) ooh, (you better) ooh, (you better) ooh

”Living Doll”
Melodie de: Cliff Richard,

Got myself a cryin’, talkin’
Sleepin’, walkin’, livin’ doll
Got to do my best to please her
Just ‘cos she’s a livin’ doll
Got a rovin’ eye
And that is why, she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only, walkin’, talkin’, livin’ doll
Take a look at her hair, it’s real
And if you don’t believe what I say, just feel
I’m gonna lock her up in a trunk
So, no big hunk can steal her away from me
Got myself a cryin’, talkin’
Sleepin’, walkin’, livin’ doll
Got to do my best to please her
Just ‘cos she’s a livin’ doll
Got a rovin’ eye
And that is why she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only, walkin’, talkin’, livin’ doll
Well take a look at her hair, it’s real
And if you don’t believe what I say, just feel
Gonna lock her up in a trunk
So no big hunk can steal her away from me
Got myself a cryin’, talkin’
Sleepin’, walkin’, livin’ doll
Got to do my best to please her
Just ‘cos she’s a livin’ doll
Got a rovin’ eye
And that is why, she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only, walkin’, talkin’, livin’ doll

”Cosy Prisons”
Melodie de: A-ha

Take a moment if you dare
Catch yourself a breath of air
There’s another life out there
And you should try it
Dead ends hide on every street
Look before you place your feet
Cracks and fissures keep the beat
And you’re inside it
Every thought you never dared to think
Every mood you always knew would sink
Every line you spoke out loud in a jest
All the time you took to be your best
Soon forgotten
The sun must never touch your skin
It could expose the dark within
You’re paranoid about the paranoia
And panic hits without a sign
You worry about it all the time
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning
‘Cause everything makes your pretty head spin
And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in
With everything this way it’s better to forget
Than end up in a place with something to regret
Your transatlantic shopping spree
Your health-forever guarantees
Organic, bio, life’s a breeze in cosy prisons
But hiding out in the salad bar
Isn’t gonna get you far
And bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow
Everything around here makes your pretty head spin
It’s piling up high and you’re back where you begin
Moments you have tried so hard to forget
Are promising to ‘ve been the best ones yet
Yeah, everytime you shut your eyes it appears
Everytime you trace your steps back here
None of your convictions have the same old ring
No doubt you found a place for everything
In cosy prisons
So if you’re careful
You won’t get hurt
But if your careful all the time
Then what’s it worth?

”I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”
Melodie de: Aerosmith

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you’re far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don’t wanna close my eyes, I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby and I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I’d still miss you baby and I don’t want to miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I’m wondering what you’re dreaming
Wondering if it’s me you’re seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we’re together
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever, forever and ever
I don’t wanna close my eyes, I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby and I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I’d still miss you baby and I don’t want to miss a thing
I don’t wanna miss one smile, I don’t wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you, right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close, feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah
Don’t wanna close my eyes, don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby and I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I’d still miss you baby and I don’t want to miss a thing
I don’t wanna close my eyes, I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby and I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I’d still miss you baby and I don’t want to miss a thing
I don’t wanna close my eyes, I don’t wanna fall asleep

Melchisedec evreul izbutește să scape dintr-o cursă pe care i-o întinsese Saladin, istorisindu-i o poveste despre trei inele.

”După ce Neifile își isprăvi povestea cea mult lăudată de toți cei de față, Filomena, pe voia reginei, începu astfel:
– Povestea Neifilei îmi amintește strâmtoarea la care a ajuns o dată un evreu. Or, de vreme ce despre Dumnezeu și despre adevărurile credinței noastre s-a spus mult bine, se cade să vorbim acum și despre faptele săvârșite de oameni, precum și despre feluritele lor întâmplări. De aceea, auzindu-mi povestea, nădăjduiesc că pe viitor veți fi cu mai multă luare-aminte în răspunsurile voastre la întrebările ce vi se vor pune. Trebuie să știți, prietene dragi, că după cum prostia îl nenorocește adesea pe om și-l duce la sapă de lemn, tot așa înțelepciunea îl scapă pe înțelept de cele mai cumplite neajunsuri și-l pune la adăpost de rele. Că prostia îl poateaduce pe om la sapă de lemn e lucru dovedit, și pilde despre aceasta poți întâlni la fiecare pas; de aceea nu-i cu cale să vi le înșir și eu acuma, când bine știm că, zilnic, și-o mie poți vedea. Am să vă arăt în schimb, cu o mică istorioară, cum izbutește înțelepciunea să scoată omul din impas.
Saladin, a cărui vitejie nu numai că-l făcu din om de rând sultan al Babiloniei, ci îi mijloci și o seamă de biruințe asupra regilor sarazini și creștini, cheltuindu-și întreaga avere în războaiele purtate și-n strălucirea curții sale, ajunse într-o bună zi, din pricina unei nenorociri ce se abătuse asupra lui, să aibă nevoie de o mare sumă de bani. Și, cum prin preajmă nu găsea pe nimeni care să-i poată da la repezeală atâta amar de bănet, îi veni în minte un evreu bogat, pe numele Melchisedec, care trăia în Alexandria și împrumuta pe camătă. Sultanul cugetă atunci că acesta, de se învoia, putea să-l împrumute; atâta doar că evreul era așa de zgârcit, încât de bunăvoie nu s-ar fi înduplecat nicicând să-l împrumute, iar cu de-a sila nu voia să-i stoarcă bănișorii. Din care pricină, aflându-se Saladin la mare strâmtoareși tot chibzuind el cum ar putea să facă să-l înduplece pe evreu să-i împrumute banii, născoci un mijloc prin care să-l silească, fără ca totuși cămătarul să se poată plânge. Și, chemându-l la sine, după ce-l primi prietenește, îl așeză alături de el și-i spuse astfel:
– Om bun, din multe guri am auzit cât ți-e de mare priceperea și înțelepciunea într-ale celor sfinte; de aceea aș ține foarte mult să aflu de la tinepe care dintre legi o socotești adevărată: ebraică, mahomedană, ori poate cea creștină?
Evreul, care era într-adevăr om înțelept, își dădu prea bine seama că sultanul îi întinde o cursă și încercă să-l prindă cu vorba, pentru că până mai la urmă să-i ceară ceva; și, se gândi că, orice-ar face, pe oricare dintre credințe ar lăuda-o mai vârtos, până la urmă tot sultanul avea să iasă bine. De aceea, ca omul nevoit să caute un răspuns cu care să nu-l poți prinde în capcană, își ascuți degrabă mintea, găsi răspunsul potrivit și zise:
– Stăpâne, întrebarea pe care mi-ai pus-o e frumoasă, și ca să afli care mi-e răspunsul socotesc că nu-i de prisossă-ți spun o istorioară. Ascultă dar: de nu mă înșel, am auzit în repetate rânduri spunându-se că trăia pe vremuri un om bogat și mare, care, printre alte podoabe de preț tăinuite în comorile sale, avea și un inel nespus de mândruși de scump; or, mulțumită frumuseții și prețului pe care-l avea inelul ăsta, dorind el să-l cinstească așa precum se cuvenea, lăsându-l moștenire adică din neam în neam, hotărî ca acela din feciorii lui la care se va găsi inelul lăsat de el să fie socotit drept moștenitorul sau și, drept aceea, să fie cinstit de către toți ceilalți. Feciorul căruia îi fu lăsat inelul păstră și el aceeași rânduială și hotărî întocmai ca înaintașul său. În scurtă vreme inelul trecu din mână în mână și ajunse în cele din urmă pe seama unui om care avea trei băieți frumoși și cuminți, cu multă supușenie față de părintele lor care, din această pricină, îi iubea pe toți trei deopotrivă. Tinerii, care cunoșteau datina statornicită inelului, dorind fiecare să se învrednicească de cinstirea celorlalți frați, își rugau care mai de care părintele, care era bătrân, că de va fi să moară, să le lase inelul. Omul nostru, care îi iubea la fel de mult pe toți trei și nu știa nici el măcar pe care să-l aleagă pentru a-l face moștenitorul inelului – făgăduit de el fiecăruia în parte – chibzui să facă în așa fel, încât să-i mulțumească pe toți trei și pentru aceasta porunci în mare taină unui meșter iscusit să-i mai facă încă două inele la fel; inelele fură lucrate cu atâta meșteșug, încât nici măcar el, care poruncise să le facă, nu putea decât cu mare anevoie să le mai deosebească de cel adevărat. Apoi, ajungându-l ceasul morții, dădu fiecărui fiu câte un inel. După moartea bătrânului, feciorii, dorindu-și fiecare pentru sine moștenirea și loculde cinste în familie, ajunseră la sfadă și în cele din urmă, fiecare își scoase inelul său și-l arătă celorlalți, drept mărturie a dreptății sale. Dovedindu-se inelele toate ca unul și unul ca toate și fiind cu neputință să-l cunoști pe cel adevărat, nu se putu ști, și nici până azi nu se știe, care din feciori era adevăratul moștenitor. Același lucru îl spun și eu, stăpâne, despre cele trei legi încredințate celor trei popoare de către Dumnezeu-Tatăl și despre ce m-ai întrebat înainte: fiecare din ele socotește că și-a primitadevărata moștenire și adevărata lege cu dreptele-i porunci; dar care e poporul ce într-adevăr le-a moștenit nici astăzi nu se știe, ca și-n povestea celor trei inele.
Saladin își dădu seama că evreul izbutise să scape cu multă îndemânare din cursa pe care i-o întinsese; de aceea hotărî să-i mărturisească fără înconjur impasul în care se afla, doar-doar se va învoi să-i sară într-ajutor. Și făcu întocmai, arătându-i unde anume ar fi vrut să ajungă, dacă răspunsul lui n-ar fi fost atât de îndemânatic. Evreul îi dădu de bunăvoie toți banii ceruți, iar Saladin la timpul său îl mulțumi și el, plătindu-și datoria cu vârf și îndesat; ba pe deasupra îl mai și dărui împărătește, și câte zile avu și-l socoti prieten, ținându-și-l în preajmă cu cinste și mărire.”

”N-au mai putut exista două suflete atât de sincere, nici gusturi atât de asemănătoare, nici sentimente atât de la unison, nici priviri atât de îndrăgostite ca ale lor. Şi acum erau ca nişte străini; nu, mai rău ca nişte străini, pentru că nu se mai puteau cunoaşte. Era o înstrăinare eternă. Când vorbea, îi auzea aceeaşi voce şi-i desluşea acelaşi suflet.”

”Alone in the Universe”
Melodie de: David Usher

Jamie’s on the bathroom floor she don’t know why
She’s shaking underneath the sink can’t feel a thing
She’d love to live a life she’s afraid of failure
With all the voices in her head
Now what was that I thought I hear you scream
I know you can feel it
You’re already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You’re already…
Don’t you know we’re freaks and creature
Wake up I can almost see the light
I think we’re alone here you and I
I think we’re alone left wondering why
I think we’re alone here you and I
I think we’re alone in the universe tonight
Alex on the last train home from god knows where
A million miles away from where he thought he’d be
He’s got his suit his tie his drink his MTV
He’s trading all his life away
You can’t escape we’re all infected now
I know you can feel it
You’re already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You’re already…
Don’t you know we’re freaks and creatures
Wake up I can almost see the light
I think we’re alone here you and I
I think we’re alone in the universe tonight
We’re all infected now
I know you can feel it
You’re already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You’re already…
Don’t you know we’re freaks and creatures
Wake up I can almost see the light
I think we’re alone here you and I
I think we’re alone left wondering why
I think we’re alone here you and I
I think we’re alone in the universe tonight
I think we’re alone in the universe tonight
I think we’re alone in the universe tonight

”Walk Away”
Melodie de: Franz Ferdinand

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said I’m strong now, I know that I’m a leader
I love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
And I am cold, yes, I’m cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away (I love the sound)
You walking away
I love the sound of you walking away
Walking away, hey, hey
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Don’t you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Won’t you walk away?
The sun won’t swallow the sky
Won’t you walk away?
Statues will not cry
Don’t you walk away
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away? Hey
I cannot stand to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong, stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I’m not cold, I am old
At least as old as you are
La, la, la, la, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la, la
And as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind’s a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin’s falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away, hey
The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back
