SPENDING MY TIME (ROXETTE)
What´s the time? Seems it´s already morning.
I see the sky, it´s so beautiful and blue.
The T.V.´s on, but the only thing showing is a picture of you.
Oh! I get up and make myself some coffee,
I try to read a bit but the story´s too thin.
I thank the Lord above that you´re not here to see me
in this shape I´m in.
Spending my time, watching the days go by,
feeling so small I stare at the wall,
hoping that you think of me, too...
...I try to call, but I don´t know what to tell you.
I leave a kiss on your answering machine.
Oh! help me, please, is there someone who can make me
wake up from this dream?...
...hoping that you are missing me, too...
...watching the sun go down,
I fall asleep to the sound of «Tears of a clown�
a prayer gone blind...I´m spending my time...
My friends keep telling me «hey, life will go on�...
Time will make sure I´ll get over you.
This silly game of love you play, you win only to lose...

THE ONE (ELTON JOHN)
I save you dancing out the ocean,
running fast along the sand,
a spirit born of earth and water,
fire flying from your hands...
In the instant that you love someone,
in the second that the hammer hits,
reality runs up your spine
and the pieces finally fit...
And all I ever needed was the one,
like freedom fields where wild horses run,
when stars collide like you and I,
no shadows block the sun...
Oh! You´re all I´ve ever needed,
ooh! baby you´re the one...
There are caravans we follow,
drunken nights in dark hotels
when chances breathe between the silence,
where sex and love no longer gel...
For each man in this time is Cain
until he walks along the beach
and he sees his future in the water,
a long, lost heart within his reach...

THAT´S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR (STEVIE WONDER)
And I never thought I´d feel this way,
and as far as I´m concerned
I´m glad I got the chance to say
that I do believe I love you...
And if I should ever go away,
well, then close your eyes and try
to feel the way we do today,
and then, if you can remember
keep smilin�, keep shinin�,
knowin� you can always count on me,
for sure, that´s what friends are for.
For good times, and bad times
I´ll be on your side forevermore...
...Well, you came and opened me
and now there´s so much more I see,
and so by the way I thank you.
And then, for the times when we´re apart...
...and know the words are coming from my heart...
...In good times...

THE SOUND OF SILENCE (PAUL SIMON & ART GARFUNKEL)
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I´ve come to talk with you again.
Because a vision softly creeping,
left it seeds while I was sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains within the sound of silence...
In restless dreams I walked alone
narrow streets of cobblestone,
´neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
when my eyes were stabbled
by the flash of a neon light
that split the night and touched...
...And in the naked light I saw
ten thousand people, maybe more,
people talking without speaking...
...hearing without listening...
...writing songs that voices never share
and noone dare disturb...
..."Fools," said I, "you do not know
silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
and echoed in the weels of silence...
And the people bowed and prayed
to the neon God they made,
and the sign flashed out its warning in the words
that it was forming, and the sign said:
"The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
and tenement halls" and whispered
in the sounds of silence...

SHE´S ALWAYS A WOMAN TO ME (BILLY JOEL)
She can kill with a smile...wound with her eyes...
...ruin your faith with her casual lies
and she always reveals what she wants you to see,
she hides like a child but she is always a woman to me...
...lead you to love...take you or leave you,
...ask for the truth but she will never believe and
she will take what you give her as long as it´s free.
Yes, she steals like a thief but...
...Oh!...She takes care of herself...wait if she wants,
she is ahead of her time...and she never gives in,
she just changes her mind, and she will promise you more
than the garden of Eden and she will caressly cut you
and laugh while you´re bleeding but she will bring out
the best and the worst you can be,
blame it all on yourself ´cause...
...She takes care of herself...She is frequently kind
and she is suddenly cruel and she can do what she pleases,
she is nobody´s fool and she can´t be convicted,
she has earned her degree and the most she will do
is throw shadows at you but...

GOODBYE (AIR SUPPLY)
I can see the pain living in your eyes
and I know how hard you try,
you deserve to have so much more.
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
and I´ll never criticize
all you´ve ever meant to my life.
I don´t wanna let you down...lead you on...
...hold you back from where you might belong.
You would never ask me why my heart is so disguised,
I just can´t live a lie anymore.
I would rather hurt myself than to ever make you cry.
There´s nothing left to say but goodbye.
You deserve the chance at the kind of love,
I´m not sure I´m worthy of, losing you is painful to me...
...try. Though it´s gonna hurt us both
there´s no other way than to say goodbye...

PATIENCE (GUNS N´ROSES)
Shed the tears ´cos I´m missing you,
I´m still allowed to smile.
Girl, I think about you every day now.
There was a time when I wasn´t sure,
but you stop my mind at case,
there is no doubt you´re in my heart now.
Said woman take it slow and the world can say bye-bye,
all we need is just a little patience.
Said you´ve got to make it strong
and we´ll come together by...
...Said you never understand ´cos I´d rather be alone,
I can have you right now away of here.
Sometimes I keep some chance
but I can´t speed up the time to know
love there´s one more thing to consider...
...things will be just fine,
you and I just need a little patience
Said you got to take the time
´cos the light is shining bright
you and I got what it takes to make it.
We won´t break it, I´ll never...if I can take it...

WIND OF CHANGE (SCORPIONS)
I follow the Moskua down to Gorky Park
listening to the wind of change.
An August summer night, soldiers passing by...
...The world is closing in, did you ever think
that we could be so close, like brothers?
The future is in the air, I can feel it everywhere
blowing with...
...Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
where the children of tomorrow dream away in...
...Walking down the street, distant memories
are buried in the past forever...
...share their dreams with you and me...
...blows straight into the face of time
like a stormwind that will ring
the freedom bell for peace of mind.
Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say...

WILL YOU BE THERE? (MICHAEL JACKSON)
Hold me like the river Jordan
and I will then say to thee: «You are my friend�.
Carry me like you are my brother,
love me like a mother, will you be there?
When weary, tell me, will you hold me? when wrong,
will you mold me? when lost, will you find me?
But they told me a man should be faithful and walk when
not able, and fight till the end, but I´m only human.
Everyone´s taking control of me,
seems that a world´s got a role for me.
I´m so confused, will you show to me
you´ll be there for me and care enough to bear me?
Hold me, lay your head lowly, softly and boldly
carry me there. Hold me, love me and feed me,
kiss me and free me, I will feel blessed.
Carry me, carry me boldly, lift me up slowly,
carry me there. Save me, heal me and bathe me,
softly you say to me: «I will be there�.
Lift me, lift me up slowly, carry me boldly,
show me you care. Hold me, lay your head lowly,
softly then boldly carry me there. Need me,
love me and feed me, kiss me and free me,
I will feel blessed...
In our darkest hour, in my deepest dispair,
will you still care?, will you be there?.
In my trials and my tribulations, through our doubts
and frustrations, in my violence, in my turbulence,
through my fear and my confessions, in my anguish
and my pain, through my joy and my sorrow,
in the promise of another tomorrow
I´ll never let you part for you´re always in my heart...

ETERNAL FLAME (THE BANGLES)
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling.
Do you feel my heart beating? Do you understand?
Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming?
And is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it´s meant to be, darling,
I watch you when you are sleeping, you belong with me...
...Or...?
...Say my name, the sun shines through the rain,
a whole life´s so lonely and then you come and ease the pain,
I don´t wanna lose this feelin�...

FADING LIKE A FLOWER (ROXETTE)
In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long, long way from home
to find a heart that´s made of stone.
I will try, I just need a little time
to get your face right out of my mind,
to see the world through different eyes.
Every time I see you, ooh! I try to hide away,
but when we meet it seems I can´t let go.
Every time you leave the room I feel
I´m fading like a flower.
Tell me, why when I scream there´s no reply,
when I reach out there´s nothing to find,
when I sleep I break down and cry?...
...Fading like a rose...beaten by the storm,
talking to myself, getting washed by the rain,
it´s such a cold, cold town...

SAVE ME (QUEEN)
It started off so well, they said we made a perfect pair.
I clothed myself in your glory and your love.
How I loved you! How I cried!
The years of care and loyalty were nothing but a sham, it seems.
The years belie we lived a lie: "I love you till I die".
Save me!...I can´t face this life alone!...
...I´m naked and I´m far from home.
The slate will soon be clean, I´ll erase the memories
to start again with somebody new,
was it all wasted, all that love?
I hang my head and I advertise a soul for sale or rent.
I have no heart, I´m cold inside, I have no real intent...
...Each night I cry, I still believe the lie...
...Don't let me face my life alone...
