But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience, I guess If I were walkin' in your shoes I wouldn't worry none While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me, I'm having lots of fun. Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do. Last night I dressed in tails pretendin' I was on the town As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doin' fine You can always find me here and havin' quite a time. Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do. It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete So I must go back to my room and make my day complete. Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do. Don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Positively 4th St--Bob Dylan
You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinnin' You've got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend You just want to be on the side that's winnin' You say I let you down, ya know its not like that If you're so hurt, why then don't you show it? You say you've lost your faith, but that's not where its at You have no faith to lose, and ya know it I know the reason, that you talked behind my back I used to be among the crowd you're in with Do you take me for such a fool, to think I'd make contact With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with? You see me on the street, you always act surprised You say "how are you?", "good luck", but ya don't mean it When you know as well as me, you'd rather see me paralyzed Why don't you just come out once and scream it No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them And tho I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place Don't you understand, its not my problem? I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes And just for that one moment I could be you Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes You'd know what a drag it is to see you

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies, something in your eyes Calls to mind a silver screen And all its sad good-byes I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool Should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Time can never mend The careless whisper of a good friend To the heart and mind Ignorance is kind There's no comfort in the truth Pain is all you'll find I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you, ohh Never without your love Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But no one's gonna dance with me Please stay And I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool Should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Now that you're gone (Now that you're gone) Was what I did's so wrong, so wrong That you had to leave me alone?

I'm never Gonna Fall in Love Again--Tom Jones
I've been in love so many times
Thought I knew the score But now you've treated me so wrong I can't take anymore And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again Fall in love, I'm never gonna fall in love I mean it Fall in love again All those things I heard about you I thought they were only lies But when I caught you in his arms I just broke down and cried And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love I mean it, I mean it Fall in love again I gave my heart so easily I cast aside my pride But when you fell for someone else, baby I broke up all inside And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again That's why I'm-a sing it Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love Please don't make me Fall in love again

Inside--Patti Rothberg
I'm just sitting around wasting time away
And even if I wanted to I can go outside There ain't nothing to do, oh I think I'll write a letter home Telling everybody that I'm happy alone And maybe if I pay the role I roll myself into a big black hole I can roll myself on down the line Telling everybody that I'm just fine My troubled mind, I can't confide That we are all the same inside, inside, inside, inside I've been thinking about my friends Saying they'll be with be to the bitter end I don't know how I get that far When I don't even know who the hell they are I can roll myself on down the line Telling everybody that I'm just fine My troubled mind, I can't confide That we are all the same inside, inside, inside, inside I can roll myself on down the line Telling everybody that I'm just fine My troubled mind, I can't confide That we are all the same inside I can roll myself on down the line Telling everybody that I'm just fine My troubled mind, I can't confide That we are all the same inside

It's all the same, only the names will change
Every day, it seems we're wastin' away Another place where the faces are so cold I'd drive all night just to get back home I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive Wanted dead or alive Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days The people I meet always go their separate ways Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink And times when you're alone, well, all you do is think I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive Wanted (wanted), dead or alive Oh, and I ride Yeah Oh, I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive And I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all 'Cause I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive 'Cause I'm a cowboy I got the night on my side And I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive And I ride (and I ride), dead or alive I still drive (I still drive), dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive

Here lies everything
The world I wanted at my feet My victory's complete So hail to the king (Everything you ever...) Arise and sing So your world's benign So you think justice has a voice And we all have a choice Well now your world is mine (Everything you ever...) And I am fine Now the nightmare's real Now Dr. Horrible is here To make you quake with fear To make the whole world kneel (Everything you ever...) And I won't feel A thing

Yeah, c'mon
Yeah! When the music's over When the music's over, yeah When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Yeah When the music's over When the music's over When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights For the music is your special friend Dance on fire as it intends Music is your only friend Until the end Until the end Until the end Cancel my subscription to the resurrection Send my credentials to the house of detention I got some friends inside The face in the mirror won't stop The girl in the window won't drop A feast of friends, alive she cried Waitin' for me Outside Before I sink Into the big sleep I want to hear I want to hear The scream of the butterfly Come back, baby, back into my arm We're gettin' tired of hangin' around Waitin' around with our heads to the ground I hear a very gentle sound Very near yet very far Very soft, yeah, very clear Come today, come today What have they done to the earth, yeah? What have they done to our fair sister? Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn and Tied her with fences and dragged her down I hear a very gentle sound With your ear down to the ground We want the world and we want it (we want the world and we want it!) Now Now? Now! Persian night, babe See the light, babe Save us Jesus Save us! So when the music's over When the music's over, yeah When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Well the music is your special friend Dance on fire as it intends Music is your only friend Until the end Until the end Until the end

Wow, I’m sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain South's cruel bindings The servants have the power Dog-men and their mean women Pulling poor blankets over our sailors I’m sick of dour faces Staring at me from the TV tower I want roses in my garden bower, dig? Royal babies, rubies must now replace Aborted strangers in the mud These mutants, blood-meal For the plant that’s plowed They are waiting to take us Into the severed garden Do you know how pale and wanton thrill-full Comes death on a strange hour? Unannounced, unplanned for Like a scaring over-friendly guest You’ve brought to bed Death makes angels of us all And gives us wings Where we had shoulders Smooth as raven’s claws No more money, no more fancy dress This other kingdom seems by far the best Until it’s other jaw reveals incest And loose obedience to a vegetable law I will not go Prefer a feast of friends to the giant family

(Fade to Black)
Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss, this can't be real I cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness, taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me Can save myself But it's too late Now I can't think Think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though It never existed Death greets me warm Now I will just say goodbye

Fade Away--Francis Dunnery
She said my shoes were cheap and my clothes were all outdated
She stopped me drinking beer and gave me wine But I can't hide from what I am just an ordinary man Trying to make it through the day As I watch our love so slowly fade away Like a flower She said my friends were fools and she won't talk to my brother She made me sit there and talk to her friends But I can see it their eyes, they are frowning as they smile And I didn't have much to say I just watch our love so slowly fade away Like a flower I watch our love so ever slowly fade Like the summertime Like the honesty you promise me would stay She said I gotta change my ways or she's leaving me tomorrow I said get out of here, leave me alone And she came crying to my door Said she liked me as before But I had a price to pay Cos at last our love could finally fade away Like a flower

Piano man
It's nine o'clock on a saturday
Regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sittin' next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says: "Son can you play me a memory?" I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes La-la-la de-de da La-la de-de da da-da Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright
