Eric Clapton - Wonderfull Tonight

It's late in the evening 
She's wondering what clothes to wear 
She puts on her make up 
And brushes her long blonde hair 
And then she asks me 
Do I look alright 
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight 

We go to a party 
And everyone turns to see 
This beautiful lady 
That's walking around with me 
And then she asks me 
Do you feel alright 
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight 

I feel wonderful 
Because I see the love light in your eyes 
And the wonder of it all 
Is that you just don't realize 
How much I love you 

It's time to go home now 
And I've got an aching head 
So I give her the car keys 
She helps me to bed 
And then I tell her 
As I turn out the light 
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight 
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

All Time High - Rita Coolidge (Octopussy)

All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two.
Had no intention to do the things we've done.
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find.
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one.

We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high,
We'll take on the world and win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.

I don't want to waste a waking moment; I don't want to sleep.
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you.
In my time I've said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true.

We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high,
We'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.

So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
We're an all time high.

Martyn Joseph - Let Yourself

I need you brave, I want you brave, I need you strong
to sing along
You are so beautiful,
And I’m not wrong
And even today, this time line, would be fine,
enough for us to find the path ahead
Let it all roll on

But if you’re drifting away
If it’s falling apart

Just Let yourself,
Be quietly drawn by the stronger call of what you really love
Let your soul,
The one that you brought with you safe
to this moment in time
Whisper to your fears
And wrestle with the noise of this night,
for you

If we could just step outside,
look at ourselves 
for a moment
We might see
A different way to be
Do not expect to find all the answers of this world 
cos if we could somehow and then we did, well
Who would we be?


But if you’re drifting away
If it’s falling apart

Just Let yourself,
Be quietly drawn by the stronger call of what you really love
Let your soul,
The one that you brought with you safe
to this moment in time
Whisper to your fears
And wrestle with the noise of this night,
for you


And in the midst of these moments 
It's like we never left
But in a lifetime of returning
We’re not home yet, we’re not home yet

I need you brave, I want you brave, I need you strong 
to sing along
You are so beautiful,
And I’m not wrong
And you can bring it on world, throw everything,
cos in the end love wins big 
And there are some of us
Who will not be lying down


But if you’re drifting away
If it’s falling apart

Just Let yourself,
Be quietly drawn by the stronger call of what you really love
Let your soul,
The one that you brought with you safe
to this moment in time
Whisper to your fears
And wrestle with the noise of this night,
Will you whisper to your fears,
Wrestle with the noise of this night
for you

Amy MacDonald - This is a life

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
(2x)
Where you gonna sleep tonight?


So your heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
(2x)

Where you gonna sleep tonight?


And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Dido - See the Sun

I'm coming round to open the blinds
You can't hide here any longer
My god you need to rinse those puffy eyes
You can't lie still any longer
And yes they'll ask where you've been
And you'll have to tell them, again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
But I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Come on take my hand
We're going for a walk, I know you can
You can wear anything, as long as it's not black
Please don't mourn forever, she's not coming back
And yes they'll ask where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
But I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Do you remember telling me you'd found the sweetest thing of all
You said that one day of this was worth dying for
So be thankful you kew her at all
But it's no more

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
But I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pains the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Dido - White Flag

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you, 
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it 
where's the sense in that? 
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder 
Or return to where we were 

I will go down with this ship 
And I won't put my hands up and surrender 
There will be no white flag above my door 
I'm in love and always will be 

I know I left too much mess and destruction
to come back again 
And I caused nothing but trouble 
I understand if you can't talk to me again 
And if you live by the rules of "it's over" 
then I'm sure that that makes sense 

I will go down with this ship 
And I won't put my hands up and surrender 
There will be no white flag above my door 
I'm in love and always will be 

And when we meet 
Which I'm sure we will 
All that was there
Will be there still 
I'll let it pass 
And hold my tongue 
And you will think 
That I've moved on.... 

I will go down with this ship 
And I won't put my hands up and surrender 
There will be no white flag above my door 
I'm in love and always will be 
...

Amy MacDonald - Run

Will you tell me when the lights are fading
Cos I can't see, I can't see no more
Will you tell me when the song stops playing
Cos I can't hear, I can't hear no more

She said I don't know what you're living for
She said I don't know what you're living for at all
He said I don't know what you're living for
He said I don't know what you're living for at all

But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for

Will you tell me when the fighting's over
Cos I can't take, I can't take no more
Will you tell me when the day is done
Cos I can't run, I can't run no more

She said I don't know what you did it for
She said I don't know what you did it for at all
He said I don't know what you did it for
He said I don't know what you did it for at all

But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for

And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for
