HALLELUJAH, Jeff Buckley
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Well baby, I�ve been here before
I�ve seen this room and I�ve walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I�ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It�s a cold and it�s a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Well There was a time when you let me know
What�s really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew is Hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe there is a God above
But all I�ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it�s not a cry that you hear at night
It�s not somebody who�s seen the light
It�s a cold and it�s a broken hallelujah

OUTSIDE, Staind
And you, you bring me to my knees
Again
All the times that I could beg you please
In vain
All the times that I felt insecure
For you
But I leave my burdens at the door
Chorus:
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times that I felt like this won't end
it's for you
And I taste what I could never have
It was from you
All the times that I've tried
My intentions full of pride
But I waste more time than anyone
Chorus
All the times that I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel all this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie here in bed
All alone
I can't mend but I feel
Tomorrow will be OK

YOU ONLY DISAPPEAR, Tom McRae
Close my eyes I'm moving still
Magazines and dollar bills
And you wake up to a fall of snow
Your telephone your radio
Baby I'll call up a storm
Keep you safe from harm
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear
I can live with my regrets
Still raise a smile, still raise my head
And a stranger God can be so cruel
And a holy fool is still a fool
But this is all I can say
I have lost my way
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear
With a word with a line
With a smile that says goodbye
Baby says goodbye
Baby says goodbye
It's raining now
On Royal Street
And I'd walk to you
If I could trust my feet

AMAZING GRACE
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
we have already come
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
and Grace will lead us home.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
