Artist: Sundays Album: Reading Writing & ArithmeticTitle: Here's Where The Story Ends People I know, places I go, make me feel tongue-tied I can see how people look down, they're on the inside Here's where the story ends People I see, weary of me showing my good side I can see how people look down I'm on the outside Here's where the story ends Ooh here's where the story ends It's that little souvenir of a terrible year Which makes my eyes feel sore Oh I never should have said, the books that you read Were all I loved you for It's that little souvenir of a terrible year Which makes me wonder why And it's the memories of your shed that make me turn red Surprise, surprise, surprise Crazy I know, places I go Make me feel so tired I can see how people look down

Hues of indigo arise With them how my spirit sighs Paint the sky with stars Only night will ever know Why the heavens never show All the dreams there are to know Paint the sky with stars Who has paced the midnight sky?

Artist: Pink Floyd Album: The Wall Title: Waiting For The Worms Oooo You cannot reach me now, Oooo No matter how you try. Goodbye cruel world, it's over. Walk on by. Sitting in a bunker, Here behind my wall, Waiting for the worms to come. ( Worms to come. ) In perfect isolation, Here behind my wall, Waiting for the worms to come. ( Worms to come. ) Waiting, to cut out the deadwood. Waiting, to clean up the city. Waiting, to follow the worms. Waiting, to put on a black shirt. Waiting, to weed out the weaklings. Waiting, to smash in their windows and kick in their doors. Waiting, for the final solution to strengthen the strain. Waiting, to follow the worms. Waiting, to turn on the showers and fire the ovens. Waiting, for the queers and the coons and the Reds and the Jews. Waiting, to follow the worms. Would you like to see Britannia, Rule again, my friend? All you have to do is follow the worms. Would you like to send our colored cousins, Home again, my friend? All you need to do is follow the worms.

Artist: The Cranberries Album: To The Faithful DepartedTitle: Warchild Who will save the warchild baby Who controls the key?

Mind the warchild, we should mind the warchild I spent last winter in New York and came upon a man He was sleeping on the streets and homeless He said "I fought in Vietnam" Beneath his shirt he wore his mark, he bore the mark of pride A two inch deep incision, carved into his side Warchild, victim of political pride Plant the seed, territorial greed

Mother/Father Artist: Pink Floyd Album: The Wall Title: Mother Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb? Mother, do you think they'll like this song? Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls? Ooooowaa Mother, should I build a wall? Mother, should I run for President? Mother, should I trust the government? Mother, will they put me in the firing line? Ooooowaa Is it just a waste of time? Hush, my baby. Baby, don't you cry. Momma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true. Momma's gonna put all of her fears into you. Momma's gonna keep you right here under her wing. She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing. Momma's gonna keep Baby cozy and warm. Oooo Babe. Oooo Babe.

Wouldn't you know that it doesn't matter, we all end up the same. These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between. These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem. You come in this world, and you go out just the same. Today could be the best day of your life. And money talks in this world, That's what idiots will say But you'll find out that this world, Is just an idiots parade Before you go, you've got some questions. And you want answers But now you're old, cold, covered in blood, right back to where you started from These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between. These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem. You come in this world, and you go out just the same. Today could be the worst day of your life. But these are the chronicles of life and death and everything between. These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem. You come in this world, and you go out just the same.

Artist: Iron Maiden Album: Dance of Death Title: dance of death Let me tell you a story to chill the bones about a things that I saw One night wandering in the everglades I'd one drink but no more I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight Gazing up at the stars Not aware of a presence so near to me Watching my every move Feeling scared and I fell to my knees As something rushed me from the trees Took me to an unholy place And that is where I fell from grace Then they summoned me over to join in with them To the dance of the dead In to the circle of fire I followed them In to the middle I was led As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear But still I wanted to go And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me As I walked onto the coals And I felt I was in a trance And my spirit was lifted from me And if only someone had the chance To witness what happened to me And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them All had death in their eyes Lifeless figures they were undead all of them They had ascended from hell As I danced with the dead my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me Below my undead body just danced the circle of dead Until the time came to reunite us both My spirit came back down to me I didn't know if I was alive or dead As the others all joined in with me By luck then a skirmish started And took the attention away from me When they took their gaze from me Was the moment that I fled

I ran like hell faster than the wind But behind I did not glance One thing that I did not dare Was to look just straight ahead When you know that your time has come around You know you'll be prepared for it Say your last goodbyes to everyone Drink and say a prayer for it When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead To this day I guess I'll never know Just why they let me go But I'll never go dancing no more 'Til I dance with the dead Artist: Doro Album: Angels Never DieTitle: Don't Go I feel my days Are running away like rain I'm trying to hold on Even though it's in vain Off and on Every day we change All and all Love and pain remain I wish I could exist Without your love I wish I wouldn't be Dependent on Don't lie to me To make it all allright When your eyes Are telling me good-bye Don't go You're all that I have Don't go Cause I love you so Don't go You're all that I have Don't go Cause I love you more than you know Don't go I know the way you feel

Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing You may not know why Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Some may come and some may go We will surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass yeah Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now If you hear the song we sing You will understand You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Try to love one another right now Try to love one another right now

Trudy

Artist: Babes In ToylandAlbum: Fontanelle Title: Mother

Mother This is my life Sister Come and take my life You are obscene and you know it I run from me and it shows That's what you like me for, huh, sister Crawling now on the floor Do you like it Sister Mother This is my life Sister Come and take my life You are obscene and you know it I run from you and it shows That's what you like me for, huh, sister Crawling now on the floor Do you like it Sister You are me You are me Artist: Biohazard Album: New World DisorderTitle: Cycle Of Abuse Treated unfairly, you resent everybody that has so much Of the things in life that were taken away from you. So wrapped up in your misery, you never feel the love that surrounds you, So wrapped up in your misery, you never notice that life passed you by. You've waited all your life for the pain to go away Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate. Left it all alone, ignored by the one you need attention from For the things in life you never achieved on your own. He can't be bothered to care for you, to hold and respect and be there for you, He can't be a real father to you, some day he'll regret all time that went by. You've waited all your life for the pain to go away And I’ve always hated to see you hurt inside. So much I try to help but you push me away, Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate Locked inside a world of hate.

Beaten down for as long as you remember Your life was analyzed, criticized and dismembered Your hopes and dreams were discouraged and severed The pain you've endured, the suffering you've weathered You find it so hard to pull yourself together To face the world to your fears you surrender, You dream of a day you'll overcome and sever, The cycle of abuse and the pain you've carried forever. You're not alone, there's so many others that care for you, So many things in our lives you helped us all get through It means so much to me that you're here to share in my life And calm my tears, it means so much to me that you're alive, As you hold my child and wipe the tears from your eyes.

Baby Artist: Grateful Dead Album: Aoxomoxoa Title: What's Become Of The Baby Waves of violet go crashing and laughing The rainbow winged singing birds fly 'round the sun Sun bells rain down in a liquid profusion Mermaids on porpoises draw up the dawn What's become of the baby this cold December morning? Songbirds frozen in their flight Drifting to the earth, remnants of forgotten dreaming Dawning answer comes there none. Go to sleep you child, dream of never-ending always Panes of crystal ice sparkle like waterfalls Lighting the polished ice caverns of the dawn, But where in the looking-glass fields of illusion Wandered the child who was perfect as the dawn? What's become of the baby this cold December morning? What's become of the baby this cold December morning? Racing in rhythm of the sun All the world revolves captured in the eye of woman Allah, where are you now? All eyes are blinded by the sparkling waters Scheherazade gathering stories to tell But where is the child who played with the sunshines? And chased the cloud shape to the regions of mind? Standing stream cries the south wind

Lost in the regions of Shadow-like chains of illusion, delusions of living and dead.

Hospital

Artist: The Cranberries Album: No Need To ArgueTitle: Zombie Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken But you see it's not me, It's not my family In your head, in your head they are fighting With their tanks and their bombs And their bombs and their guns In your head In your head they are cryin' In your head Zombie What's in your head, in your head Zombie Another mother's breakin' Heart is taking over When the violence causes silence We must be mistaken It's the same old theme since 1916 In your head, In your head they're still fightin' With their tanks In your head they are dyin' In your head, in your head Zombie What's in your head, in your head Zombie

Growing Artist: Eric Clapton Album: 461 Ocean BoulevardTitle: Let It Grow (by Eric Clapton) I'm standin' at the crossroads Tryin' to read the signs To tell me which way I should Go to find the answer And all the time I know Let your love and let it grow. Let it grow, let it grow, Let it blossom, let it flow. In the sun and in the snow Love is lovely, let it grow. Lookin' for a reason To check out on my mind. It's so hard to find a Friend that I can count on. There's nothin' left to show, Plant your love and let it grow. Let it grow... Time is gettin' shorter And there's much for you to do, Only ask'n you will get what you are needin', The rest is up to you. Plant your love and let it grow. Let it grow...

supportArtist: Peter Gabriel Album: Secret World LiveTitle: Don't Give Up In this proud land we grew up strong We were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I’ve changed my name But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up 'cos you have friends Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good Though I saw it all around Never thought I could be affected Thought that we'd be the last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We don't need much of anything Don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place Where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don't give up Please don't give up 'got to walk out of here I can't take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That river's flowing That river's flowing Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs Don't give up 'cause you have friends Don't give up You're not the only one Don't give up No reason to be ashamed Don't give up You still have us Don't give up now

We're proud of who you are Don't give up You know it's never been easy Don't give up 'cause I believe there's the a place There's a place where we belong

Artist: Bette Midler Album: Beaches Title: Wind Beneath My Wings Oh, oh, oh, oh - It must have been cold there in my shadow, To never have sunlight on your face. You were content to let me shine, that's your way. You always walked a step behind. So I was the one with all the glory, While you were the one with all the strain. A beautiful face without a name for so long. A beautiful smile to hide the pain. Did you ever know that you're my hero, And everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, For you are the wind beneath my wings. It might have appeared to go unnoticed, But I’ve got it all here in my heart. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it. I would be nothing without you. Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. I could fly higher than an eagle, For you are the wind beneath my wings. Did I ever tell you you're my hero? You're everything, everything I wish I could be. Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle, For you are the wind beneath my wings, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings. Oh, the wind beneath my wings. You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings. Fly, fly, fly away. you let me fly so high. Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings. Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings. Fly, fly, fly high against the sky, So high I almost touch the sky. Thank you, thank you, Thank god for you, the wind beneath my wings.
