Don't ask me What you know is true Don't have to tell you I love your precious heart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart We could live For a thousand years But if I hurt you I'd make wine from your tears I told you That we could fly 'Cause we all have wings But some of us don't know why I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never ever tear us apart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart You were standing I was there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided Songwriters: Michael Hutchence/Andrew Farriss Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc, Universal Music Publishing Group

Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Baby, baby I'm aware of where you go Each time you leave my door I watch you walk down the street Knowing your other love you'll meet But this time before you run to her Leaving me alone and hurt (Think it over) After I've been good to you ? (Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ? Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Think it over Think it over I've known of your Your secluded nights I've even seen her Maybe once or twice But is her sweet expression Worth more than my love and affection ? But this time before you leave my arms And rush off to her charms (Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ? (Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ? Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Think it over Think it over I've tried so hard, hard to be patient Hoping you'd stop this infatuation But each time you are together I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Baby, think it over Think it over, baby Ooh, think it over baby Songwriters: Brian Holland/Edward Holland/Lamont Dozier Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc

Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a slow torch burning I was a key that could use a little turning So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep Promised myself I wouldn't weep One more promise I couldn't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep There's no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train Everything is cut and dry Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain Little out of touch, little insane Just easier than dealing with the pain Runaway train never comin' back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Runaway train never comin' back Runaway train tearin' up the track Runaway train burnin' in my veins Runaway but it always seems the same Songwriters: David Pirner/David Anthony Pirner Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc

Oh, life is bigger It's bigger Than you and you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this The hint of the century Consider this The slip that brought me To my knees failed What if all these fantasies Come flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry Why try? That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream Dream Songwriters: Bill Berry/Michael Stipe/Mike Mills/Peter Buck Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc, Universal Music Publishing Group 
The Mamas and the Papas
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy Just to leave the folk music behind Zal and Denny workin' for a penny Tryin' to get a fish on the line In a coffee house Sebastian sat And after every number they'd pass the hat McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher In L.A., you know where that's at And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass Zally said "Denny, you know there aren't many Who can sing a song the way that you do, let's go south" Denny said "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish I could play guitar like you" Zal, Denny and Sebastian sat (At the Night Owl) And after every number they'd pass the hat McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher In L.A., you know where that's at And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore But she changed her mind one day Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike "Take me to New York right away" When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher But that's what they were aimin' at And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps Don't you work as hard as you play Make up, break up, everything is shake up Guess it had to be that way Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire In L.A., you know where that's at And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass Di-di-di-dit dit dit di-di-di-dit, whoa Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted And Mitchy wants to go to the sea Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it We knew she'd come eventually Greasin' on American Express cards It's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations Can't go on indefinitely And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality Songwriters: John Edmund Andrew Phillips/Michelle Gilliam Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old Sometimes I'd like to quit Nothin' ever seems to fit Hangin' around Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down What I've got they used to call the blues Nothin' is really wrong Feelin' like I don't belong Walkin' around Some kind of lonely clown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you Nice to know somebody loves me Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me) What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out (talk it out) We know what it's all about Hangin' around (hangin' around) Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do (only thing to do) Run and find the one who loves me What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out We know what it's all about Hangin' around (hangin' around) Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down Hangin' around (hangin' around) Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get Me down Songwriters: Paul H.

I can think of younger days When living for my life Was everything a man could want to do I could never see tomorrow But I was never told about the sorrow How can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down? How can you stop the sun from shining? What makes the world go round? How can you mend this broken man? How can a loser ever win? Please help me mend my broken heart And let me live again I can still feel the breeze That rustles through the trees And misty memories of days gone by We could never see tomorrow But no one said a word about the sorrow How can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down How can you stop the sun from shining What makes the world go round And how can you mend this broken man? How can a loser ever win? Please help me mend my broken heart And let me live again La la la la la la, la la la la La la la la la la, la la la la Please help me mend my broken heart And let me live again Da da da da Da da da da, da da da da da, da Songwriters: Barry Gibb/Robin Gibb Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc, Universal Music Publishing Group

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends And we notice you don't come around Me, I think it all depends on you Touching ground with us but I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else It seems And I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else It seems And being alone is the, is the best way to be When I'm by myself it's the best way to be When I'm all alone it's the best way to be When I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye Everything is temporary anyway When the streets are wet, the colors slip into the sky But I don't know why that means you and I are That means you and I I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else It seems And I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else It seems And being alone is the, is the best way to be When I'm by myself, it's the best way to be When I'm all alone, it's the best way to be When I'm by myself, nobody else can say Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends And we noticed you don't come around La la la la la la la Songwriters: Brandon Aly/Edie Arlisa Brickell/John Bradley Houser/John Walter Bush/Kenneth Neil Withrow Circle lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group 
Electric Light Orchestra
I've been thinking it over So many times they say You got it made They never understand The answer lies within your soul 'Cause no one know which side The coin will fall. Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning, turning... Save it for a rainy day For when the cold wind blows Just to see how they run I thought they'd know I tried my best, all I could do But somehow it was not enough for you. Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning, turning, Turning, turning... I remember the dead of night A lonely light that shines upon the window I see it all so clear The tenderness, the silent tears Out here in the pouring rain Through cold dark waiting days I see you standing there I see the big wheels turning Never ending, on and on they go. I think I'm going home I think I'm gonna have to start again It's rather sad Because I've looked around, can't seem to find Whatever's always rolling through my mind Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning, turning Turning, turning... I remember the dead of night A lonely light that shines upon the window I see it all so clear The tenderness, the silent tears Out here in the pouring rain Through cold dark waiting days I see you standing there I see the big wheels turning Never ending, on and on they go.
