Roachford - Higher

 
 Oh, won't you listen to the sound

Well, ever since, way back when I was a kid
You know I was always chasing you out
Oh, don't you know you were a baiter
My one and only who can make me scream and shout

You were bad, you were mean, fast like a sex machine
And I'm sad for the people who've never sinned
When we were down down in depression
Your music was a pick-me-up, an inspiration

So just can get take this higher
Keep on taking this higher 
Than we've never ever been before
Keep on taking this higher (higher)
Come on take this higher 
Than we've never ever been before 

You set this place on fire
And it's like a supernatural - ain't no lie
My body's shaking like a wire
And I hope that feeling never dies

Keep on taking this higher
Keep on taking this higher 
Than we've never ever been before
We need to go higher (higher)
Come one, take us higher
Than we've never ever been before


 

Iron Maiden - Wasted Years

 
From the coast of gold across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on far and wide
But now it seems
I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn't me but someone else

I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it 'til it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be 'til my dying day

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years 

 

Tyketto - Forever Young

 
No sleeping
She waits tables late
Trying to stay tough
Never ending
However long she waits
It's just not enough

He's sleeping late
No work around
Broken dreams come tumbling down
He's been down every road in this old dead-end town
And now we're two more runners in the night

Forever young
Time on our side
We got tomorrow
We got tonight
Two hungry hearts
Out on the run
We'll always be forever young

She's crying ,two worlds collide
Can't take anymore
He's denying the kick inside
Died and slammed the door, (he says)
We made a deal, you and I
Crossed our hearts and hope to die
No matter what may come
We'll never say goodbye

But now we're two more runners in the night
Forever young
Time on our side
We've got tomorrow
We've got tonight
Two hungry hearts
Out on the run
We'll always be forever young

Forever, just you and I
Forever, forever just you and I

Alannah Myles - Who Loves You

 
I send a message to you
I close my eyes and hope it gets through
It's in the language of love
It's in your touch, bearing 'em all
I wonder if you hear me tonight
Sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight
Do you belong to me
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it now
So tired I can't fall asleep
I close my eyes and breathe in the heat
I've got this passion for you
Like desparation out of the blue
I wonder if you hear me tonight
Sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight
Do you belong to me
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it now
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it now
What's you gonna do about it now 

 

Crownshift - My Prison

 
The smile is long gone
I'm left with scars to drag along
An image shattered
Shards don't fit, a scene beyond repair

All good fades away

A broken reflection
Light doesn't fix the night in me
(Light doesn't fix the night in me)
Locked within the choices I didn't get to choose
(The choices I didn't get to choose)
Everything I ever had
All gone for good
This final dream is all I need to lead me free

Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
Staring eyes, dreaming eyes
Turn so cold

The sun has gone down
No warmth can reach what I conceal
Like a dead ship drifting
Horizon fades into shades
My prison remains

Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
Staring eyes, dreaming eyes
Turn so cold

Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!

(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)
Staring in the night so calm
(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)

Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)
Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)
Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)
Staring eyes, dreaming eyes
Turn so cold...

Spear Of Destiny - Never Take Me Alive

 
I'm leaving on the five train
Don't ask me when I'm coming back again
I reckon it's only a matter of time
Before the law kick in the door
Mother I'm running out of change,
But I had to phone to let you know

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive

Mother I killed someone
It wasn't that I hated him
You see, he was trying to stop me
But he found out
I'd go the whole way

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me

I can't tell you how I feel
Maybe you don't wanna know
Maybe, maybe
But anyway: I love you so

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me

They'll never take me alive 
 

Foreigner - Urgent

 
You're not shy, you get around
You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you won't come down
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound

Got fire in your veins
Burnin' hot but you don't feel the pain
Your desire is insane
You can't stop until you do it again

But sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes
Maybe you're thinking of some other guy
But I know, yes I know, how to treat you right
That's why you call me in the middle of the night

You say it's urgent
So urgent, so oh oh urgent
Just wait and see
How urgent my love can be
It's urgent

You play tricks on my mind
You're everywhere but you're so hard to find
You're not warm or sentimental
You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental

But I'm not looking for a love that will last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah, there's one thing in common that we both share
That's a need for for each other anytime, anywhere

It gets so urgent
So urgent
You know it's urgent
I wanna tell you it's the same for me
So oh oh urgent
Just you wait and see
How urgent our love can be
It's urgent

You say it's urgent
Make it fast, make it urgent
Do it quick, do it urgent
Gotta rush, make it urgent
Want it quick
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
So urgent, emergency
Emer... emer... emer...
It's urgent 

 

Bon Jovi - I'll Be There For You

 
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well, as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love is suicide

You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you

I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
Well, I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

And, baby, you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your Valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you

I wasn't there when you were happy
And I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you 

 

Florent Pagny - Savoir Aimer

 
Savoir sourire
À une inconnue qui passe
N'en garder aucune trace
Sinon celle du plaisir
Savoir aimer
Sans rien attendre en retour
Ni égard, ni grand amour
Pas même l'espoir d'être aimé

Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre à Vivre
Et s'en aller

Savoir attendre
Goûter à ce plein bonheur
Qu'on vous donne comme par erreur
Tant on ne l'attendait plus
Se voir y croire
Pour tromper la peur du vide
Ancrée comme autant de rides
Qui ternissent les miroirs

Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre à Vivre
Et s'en aller

Savoir souffrir
En silence, sans murmure
Ni défense ni armure
Souffrir à vouloir mourir
Et se relever
Comme on renaît de ses cendres
Avec tant d'amour à revendre
Qu'on tire un trait sur le passé

Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre à Vivre
Et s'en aller

Apprendre à rêver
À rêver pour deux
Rien qu'en fermant les yeux
Et savoir donner
Donner sans rature
Ni demi-mesure
Apprendre à rester
Vouloir jusqu'au bout
Rester malgré tout
Apprendre à aimer
Et s'en aller
Et s'en aller

Van Halen - Dance The Night Away (Up!)

 
Have you seen her?
So fine and pretty. Fooled me with her style and ease.
And I feel her from across the room.
Yes, it's love in the third degree.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won'tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Come on, take a chance.
You're old enough to dance the night away.
Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.
A live wire.
Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go.
She's on fire, 'cause dancing gets her higher than anything else she knows.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won'tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Well, don't skip romance, 'cause you're old enough to dance the night away.
Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.
Dance the night away.
Dance, dance, dance the night away. 

 

Alestorm - Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship

 
In the dead of night
We hear the sound of thunder
Undead fiends arise
To terrorize and plunder
Crawling through the sea
A dendrophagic  horde
Our ship's no longer safe
The zombies have just climbed aboard

Bloodlust in their eyes
Our boat is their prize
A feast for the dead
Devouring the ship inside of our heads

Far across the sea
Zombies wait for me
Craving brains and treasure
It's their destiny
Til my dying day
Hear these words I say
Zombies ate my pirate ship
I will make them pay

Those zombies ate my pirate ship

Far across the sea
Zombies wait for me
Craving brains and treasure
It's their destiny
'Til my dying day
Hear these words I say
Zombies ate my pirate ship
I will make them pay
Far across the sea
Zombies wait for me
Craving brains and treasure
It's their destiny
'Til my dying day
Hear these words I say
Zombies ate my pirate ship
I will make them pay

 

Feuerschwanz - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (ABBA cover)

 
Half-past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat, all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

There's not a soul out there
(There's not a soul out there)
No one to hear my prayer
(No one to hear my prayer)

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimmе, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Takе me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of TV
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight

Zakk Wylde - Heart Of Gold (Neil Young cover)

 
I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching and I'm growing old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold 

 

Soen - Fortune

 
Time, it's unveiling every end
What we couldn't comprehend is now avowed
Weak is the soul of every man
And the wicked ones decide the fate of all

And one day I know you'll understand
That your happiness depends on you
Even after all the battles lost
We still stand here believing
Doesn't matter if they know our name
When in darkness we will make it through
To be broken doesn't mean to fall

There's nothing to fear
I'll keep your path clear
As long as we walk
We'll find what is real
And I will become
Your shield and your wall
Unbreakable stone
Just keep yourself near

Cold is the hand that rules the game
And the pieces of the play have no control
Doomed is the heart of every man
That is taking for himself what is for all

And one day I know you'll understand
That your happiness depends on you
Even after all the fights you've lost
You still stand here believing
Doesn't matter if they know your name
When in darkness you will make it through
To be broken doesn't mean to fall

There's nothing to fear
I'll keep your path clear
As long as we walk
We'll find what is real
And I will become
Your shield and your wall
Unbreakable stone
Just keep yourself near

Mr. Mister - Broken Wings

 
Baby, don't understand
Why we can't just hold on to each others' hands
This time might be the last, I fear
Unless I make it all too clear
I need you so, ohh

Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings

We can take what was wrong and make it right, mmm
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
I need you so

So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free

Foreigner - Say You Will

 
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine

Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you won't
Be mine tonight

I can't sleep I keep dreaming I'm losing you
Feel so alone in the night, scared to open my eyes

Can't get you out of my mind no matter how hard I try
So won't you

Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight

'Cause no one I've known's ever moved me the way
that you do
And I know this is the real thing
It's all I've been searching for
I've put it all on the line now I'm hoping you feel
that way too
(And if you do) why don't you

Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine
Now will you
Say you will, you say you won't
Make up your mind this time

Will you say you always will be true
I need more than a come-on sign
So won't you say you will be mine

Now won't you say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be my guiding light

Say you will, say you will
Make up your mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine

Come on come on
Say you will make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight 

 

Rod Stewart - Passion

 
Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience

Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated

In the bars and the cafés, passion
In the streets and the alleys, passion
A lot of pretending, passion
Everybody searching, passion

Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Passion, passion
Passion, passion

New York, Moscow, passion
Hong Kong, Tokyo, passion
Paris and Bangkok, passion
A lotta people ain't got passion

Hear it in the radio, passion
Read it in the papers, passion
Hear it in the churches, passion
See it in the school yards, passion

Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah

Alone in your bed at night, passion
It's half past midnight, passion
As you turn out your sidelight, passion
Something ain't right, passion

There's no passion, there's no passion
There's no passion, I need passion
You need passion, we need passion
Can't live without passion
Won't live without passion
Can't live without passion

Even the president needs passion
Everybody I know needs some passion
Some people die and kill for passion
Nobody admits they need passion
Some people are scared of passion
Yeah, passion

Bristling with desire
The pleasure's pain and fire
Burn me

Darkened skies
Hot ash, dead match

Certain death
But I want what I want
And I got to get it
When the fire dies
Dark in the skies
Hot as a match
Only smoke is left

Flame you came to me

Bruce Springsteen - I'm On Fire

 
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night, I wake up with the sheets soakin' wet
And a freight train runnin' through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
