UPSIDE DOWN(Diana Ross)

I said upside down

You're turning me
You're giving love instinctively

Around and round you're turning


Upside down Boy, you turn me
Inside out And round and round
Upside down Boy, you turn me
Inside out And round and round

Instinctively you give to me
The love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully I see to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
When no one makes me feel like you do

CHORUS


I know you got charm and appeal
You always play the field
I'm crazy you are mine
As long as the sun continues to shine
There's a place in my heart for you
That's the bottomline

CHORUS

MAGIC(Olivia Newton-John)

Come take my hand You should know me I've always been in your mind You know that I'll be kind I'll be guiding you Building your dream

Has to start now There's no other road to take You won't make a mistake I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic Nothin' can stand in our way You have to believe we are magic Don't let your aim ever stray And if all your hopes survive Your destiny will arrive I'll bring all your dreams alive For you

From where I stand You are home free The planets align so rare There's promise in the air And I'm guiding you Through every turn I'll be near you I'll come anytime you call I'll catch you when you fall I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic Nothin' can stand in our way You have to believe we are magic Don't let your aim ever stray And if all your hopes survive Your destiny will arrive I'll bring all your dreams alive For you

WE DONT TALK ANYMORE(Cliff Richards)

used to think that life was sweet

used to think we were so complete

I cant believe you throw it away

used to feel we had it made

used to feel we could sail away

can you imagine how I feel today

Well it seems a long time ago

you were the lonely one

now it comes to letting go

you are the only one

do you know what you got

Its so funny how

we dont talk anymore

its so funny why

we dont talk anymore

but I aint losing sleep

and I aint counting sheep

its so funny how

we dont talk anymore

Well it really doesnt matter to me

I quess your leaving was meant to be

its down to you now

you wanna be free

well I hope you know which way to go

your on your own again

dont come crying to me

when your the lonely one

remember what youve got

CHORUS

Cars(Gary Numan)
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live in cars
Here in my car
I can hardly receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days in cars

Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please
If I open my door in cars
Here in my car
You know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right in cars

COWARD OF THE COUNTY(Kenny Rogers)
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
Never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
His mama called him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow,
Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
And I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son.
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy:
"Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun."

"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope you're old enough to understand:
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."

There's someone for ev'ryone, Tommy's love was Becky.
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'.
They took turns at Becky....There was three of them!

Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'.
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
He reached above the fireplace, took down his daddy's picture.
As the tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again:

"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope you're old enough to understand:
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."

The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom.
One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor.
Then Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look ol' yellow's leavin'."
You coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door.

Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him.
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all.
Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'.
He said, "This one's for Becky," as he watched the last one fall.
And I heard him say,

"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done.
I'll walk away from trouble when I can.
Now please don't think I'm weak, I couldn't turn the other cheek,
Papa, I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man."

Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
