Call Me When You're Sober...Evanescence
Don't cry to me. If you loved me, You would be here with me. You want me, Come find me. Make up your mind.
You never call me when you're sober. You only want it cause it's over, It's over.
How could I have burned paradise? How could I - you were never mine.
So don't cry to me. If you loved me, You would be here with me. Don't lie to me, Just get your things. I've made up your mind.
next word: paradise

Well, it's okay. It's so nice It's just another day in paradise Well, there's no place that I'd rather be Well, it's two hearts, one dream I wouldn't trade it for anything And I ask the Lord every night For just another day in paradise
from "Just Another Day In Paradise" by Phil Vassar

One of the most morbid country songs, ever:
"Farewell Party" by Gene Watson
When the last BREATH of life is gone from my body And my LIPS are as cold as the sea When my friends gather 'round for my farewell party Won't you pretend you love me
There'll be flowers from those who'll cry when I go And leave you in this old world alone I know you'll have fun at my farewell party Won't you be glad when I'm gone
Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you Till my life on this old world is through You'll be free at the end of my farewell party But I'll go away loving you
There'll be flowers from those who'll cry when I go And leave you in this old world alone I know you'll have fun at my farewell party Won't you be glad when I'm gone Oh won't you be glad when I'm gone
next: lips
Here's Gene, with the original recording of his signature tune. But he still performs regularly. And 30 years later, he can still hit that high note at the end:

Lips Of An Angel ~ Hinder Honey, why're you calling me so late? It's kinda hard to talk right now. Honey why're you crying? Is everything okay? I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud.
Well, my girl's in the next room Sometimes I wish she was you- I guess we never really moved on. It's really good to hear your voice saying my name, It sounds so sweet. Coming from the lips of an angel, Hearing those words, it makes me weak

The Voice...Moody Blues
Each and every heart it seems Is bounded by a world of dreams Each and every rising sun Is greeted by a lonely one Oh won't you tell me again Can you feel it Oh won't you tell me again Tonight
'Cos out on the ocean of life my love There's so many storms we must rise above Can you hear the spirit calling As it's carried across the waves You're already falling It's calling you back to face the music And the song that is coming through You're already falling The one that it's calling you
Make a promise take a vow And trust your feelings it's easy now Understand the voice within And feel the changes already beginning Oh won't you tell me again Can you feel it Won't you tell me again Tonight
next word: promise

Oh, wow! I haven't heard that song in forever; I've always liked it too. I nominated it as "class song" our senior year in high school. It did well in the polls, but lost out to some sappy love song that I'd never heard of then, and can't remember the title of now.
No More, No Less ~ Collective Soul
Steady here, I cast my lines Only to expose A weaker sense and no constraint Now, my true self shows
But don't bring me down Alright Don't bring me down 'cause theres promise in this night
Save me, come tomorrow Lead me to my urgency See, I'm no more, no less Of an angel than you'd have me be So let's shake it like this
next word: urgency (urgent)

These guys were on the Ellen show not long ago and I was impressed. They used to be one of my favorite bands and for being old men (as rock bands go), I thought they did a fantastic job. They sang "Feels Like the First Time" and "Jukebox Hero".
Urgent...Foreigner (rock)
You play tricks on my mind Youre everywhere but youre so hard to find Youre not warm or sentimental Youre so extreme, you can be so tempermental
But Im not looking for a love that will last I know what I need and I need it fast Yeah, theres one thing in common that we both share Thats a need for for each other anytime, anywhere
It gets so urgent So urgent You know its urgent I wanna tell you its the same for me So oh oh urgent Just you wait and see How urgent our love can be Its urgent

IMO, this is one of the most beautiful songs, lyrically and melodically, I've ever heard.
When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream No request is too EXTREME When you wish upon a star As dreamers do
FATE is kind She brings to those who love The sweet fulfillment of Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and sees you through When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true
"When You Wish Upon A Star" from Disney's "Pinocchio"
next: fate

With You...Linkin Park
No I wont let you control my fate While I'm holding the weight of the world on my conscience No I wont just sit here and wait while you weighin your options Your makin a fool of me No You didn't dare to try and say you don't care And solemnly swear not to follow me there No It aint like me to beg on my knees Or, please oh baby please That's not how I'm doin things No No I'm not upset, no I'm not angry I know love is love and love sometimes, it doesn't pay me No I'm never without you, I'll always be with you You'll never forget me, I'm keeping you with me No I wont let you take me to the end of my row Or keep burning and torching my soul No No I'm not your puppet And no, no, no, I wont let you go

Keep This Fire Burning ~ Beverley Knight
Even when you don't know I'll be right by your side Even when you think you're all alone I'll be by your side, yeah
I'll be right behind you Keep on going In whichever way the wind is blowing I'll be there 'til the World stops turning Baby I will keep this fire burning

Sitting At The Wheel lyrics ~ Moody Blues
I can hear the music playing I can hear the word that you're saying I can see the lovelife in your eyes What's the use in looking for an answer I might find out It could be a disaster Hold on to your own time Don't let go Don't let go
I'm sitting at the wheel Watching the river roll roll on by Sitting at the wheel Don't let the river run dry
I can see your face on a piece of tomorrow I'll hang my dream on a road I can follow I gotta touch the warmth of your love NOt gonna take a chance a Change of direction Gonna keep on rolling till I find the connection Hold on to your lifeline Don't let Don't let go
Sitting at the wheel Watching the river roll roll on by Sitting at the wheel Don't let the river run dry I'm sitting at I'm sitting at the wheel

Voyeur...Kim Carnes
Voyeur, voyeurs are ya' hot tonite Dance, dance, dance Till it makes ya' feel good Voyeur, voyeur, who ya' got tonight? Where love is still alive It's just locked up inside
Lingerie and loveliness Still lookin' for a strange and sweet caress Her love life's hot But her life's a mess Says she's got no minor vices

Funny. We wanted "We've Got Tonight" by Bob Seger. It got vetoed because it was too provocative. Imagine if they tried that today, with any song, much less that one.
We ended up with "Come Sail Away" by Styx.

Motorcycle Emptiness lyrics# Manic Street Preachers
Culture sucks down words Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles Organise your safe tribal war Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto
Each day living out a lie Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Life lies a slow suicide Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths From feudal serf to spender This wonderful world of purchase power
Just like lungs sucking on air Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Bobby Bare World's Last Truck Driving Man
The year is two thousand and eighty And hardly a highway remains Gone are the days of the diesel And songs about wrecks in the rain The Macs and MacLeans have all rusted away The Harvesters rot in the sand And in a deserted truck stop sits Tennessee Thompson The world's last truck drivin' man
He lit up the world's last Lucky Got his last cup of coffee refilled Then he stared at the sky for one final high Took the world's last little white pill He said world you are losin' your truckers And your suckers do not give a damn You're freightin' in space and there just ain't no place For a hard ridin' truck drivin' man
