WITH A SMILE

-Eraserheads

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared

Of the things that could go wrong along the way

You'll get by with a smile

You can't win at everything but you can try.

Baby, you don't have to worry

'Coz there ain't no need to hurry

No one ever said that there's an easy way

When they're closing all their doors

And they don't want you anymore

This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway.

Girl I'll stay through the bad times

Even if I have to fetch you everyday

You'll get by with a smile

You can never be too happy in this life.

In a world where everybody

Hates a happy ending story

It's the one you love can make the world go round

But dont let it bring you down

And turn your face into a frown

You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.

(Too doo doo doo...)

Let me hear you sing it

(Too doo doo doo...)

In a world where everybody

Hates a happy ending story

It's a wonder love can make the world go round

But don't let it bring you down

And turn your face into a frown

You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared

Of the things that could go wrong along the way

You'll get by with a smile

Now it's time to kiss away those tears goodbye

(Too doo doo doo...)

Let me hear you sing it

(Too doo doo doo...)

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide,

No escape from reality.

Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,

Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low,

Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Mama, just killed a man,

Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.

Mama, life had just begun,

But now I've gone and thrown it all away.

Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry,

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,

Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.

Too late, my time has come,

Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time.

Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

I see a little silhouette of a man,

Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango.

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me.

(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro

Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me.

He's just a poor boy from a poor family,

Spare him his life from this monstruosity.

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go.

Bismillah! No, we will not let you go.

(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.

(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.

(Let me go.) Will not let you go.

(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

(Oh mama mia, mama mia.) Mama mia, let me go.

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.

So you think you can love me and leave me to die.

Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,

Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,

Nothing really matters,

Nothing really matters to me.

Any way the wind blows.

One of my favorites:

Only Selfless Love

Jamie Rivera

Today in the world where life is born

There's a struggle that is fought

To be welcomed, to be cared for, to be at home

Today when all life seems bought and used

There's a struggled to belong

To be free and to be a gift to everyone

We call all families

Rise up and raise your hands as one

Come show the world the love that binds all God's children into one

We call all families

Share the treasure that's in your hands

What can save us now, what can lead us now, what can make us all be one

Only selfless love, Jesus show the world

That only selfless love can bring a hundred fold

Of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, homes

Where peace and mercy reign

Where faith and hope remain

Where life begins and ends in God's embrace

Calling all families

Let's make it happen

Through only selfless love

Like the Holy Family

With Jesus, Joseph and Mary

Home is where true love begins

Love rejoices, love embraces

We call all families

Rise up and raise your hands as one

Come show the world the love that binds all God's children into one

We call all families

Share the treasure that's in your hands

What can save us now, what can lead us now, what can make us all be one

Only selfless love, Jesus show the world

That only selfless love can bring a hundred fold

Of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, homes

Where peace and mercy reign

Where faith and hope remain

Where life begins and ends in God's embrace

Calling all families

Let's make it happen

Calling all families

Let's make it happen

Through only selfless love

"Oops! ...I Did It Again"

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I think I did it again

I made you believe we're more than just friends

Oh baby

It might seem like a crush

But it doesn't mean that I'm serious

'Cause to lose all my senses

That is just so typically me

Oh baby, baby

[CHORUS:]

Oops!...I did it again

I played with your heart, got lost in the game

Oh baby, baby

Oops!...You think I'm in love

That I'm sent from above

I'm not that innocent

You see my problem is this

I'm dreaming away

Wishing that heroes, they truly exist

I cry, watching the days

Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways

But to lose all my senses

That is just so typically me

Baby, oh

[Repeat CHORUS]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

"All aboard"

"Britney, before you go, there's something I want you to have"

"Oh, it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this...?"

"Yeah, yes it is"

"But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end"

"Well baby, I went down and got it for you"

"Oh, you shouldn't have"

Oops!...I did it again to your heart

Got lost in this game, oh baby

Oops!...You think that I'm sent from above

I'm not that innocent

"Someday (I Will Understand)"

[Verse 1:]

Nothing seems to be the way

That it used to

Everything seems shallow

God give me truth

In me

And tell me somebody is watching

Over me

And that is all I'm praying is that

Someday I will understand

In God's whole plan

And what he's done to me

Oh but maybe

Someday I will breathe

And I'll finally see

I'll see it all in my baby

[Verse 2:]

Don't you run too fast my dear

Why don't you stop?

Just stop and listen to your tears

They're all you've got

It's in you

You see somebody is watching

Over you

And that is all I'm praying is that

Someday you will understand

In God's whole plan

And what he does to you

Oh but maybe

Someday you will breathe

And you'll finally see

You'll see it all in your baby

You'll see it all in your baby

No moment

Will be more true

Than the moment

I look at you

It's in you

You see somebody is watching

Over you

And that is all I'm praying is that

Someday you will understand

In God's whole plan

And what he does to you

Oh but maybe

Someday you will breathe

And you'll finally see

You'll see it all in your baby

You'll see it all in your baby

You'll see it all in your baby

You'll see it all in your baby

Am I real? Do the words I speak before you make you feel,

that the love I lay for you will see no ending?

Well if you look into my eyes then you should know,

that there is nothing here to doubt, nothing to fear,

and you can lay your questions down ‘cause if you’ll hold me

we can fade into the night and you’ll know

The world could die, and everything may lie,

Still you shouldn't cry

‘Cause time may pass, but longer than it’ll last

I’ll be by your side

Take my hand, and gently close your eyes so you could understand

that there’s no greater love tonight than what I’ve for you,

Well, if you feel the same way for me, than lets go

We can journey to a garden no one knows.

Life is short my darling tell me that you love me

So we could fade into the night and you’ll know…

The world could die, and everything may lie,

Still you shouldn't cry

‘Cause time may pass, and everything wont last

I’ll be by your side,

Forever by your side,

Forever by your side,

So you wont cry

Three stars and a Sun

"Three stars and a sun, in one sky, so high,

I live and die and die will I for my

Motherland this is the land of my birth,

No purse is worth the price of this earth

Can we rise, can we all, hell no!,

Or should we all just take the fall?

Bless the man if his heart and his land are one

...3 stars & a sun!

3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to defend the 3 stars & a sun!

Ommision to a mission, transport for the brain,

Packed w/ stacks of tracks built for a train,

I eat lead, but I never let it be said,

""He said, she said,"" it makes me see red

'Cuz I don't take bullshit & I'm 'a pack it and push it,

And hit you w/ the full clip

Switch to mode lock-'n'-load in the land of Juan

...the 3 stars & a sun!

3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to defend the 3 stars & a sun!

There is a need to sow the seed,

Toil the soil and plod until your hands bleed

'Cuz this land is sacred,

Many a battle have been fought with hatred

Don't tell me that you understand,

It's been 4 hundred years of tears

For the brown man,

Still and all the fight has just begun

...3 stars & a sun!

3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to defend the 3 stars & a sun

You'd be hard pressed to find an era when this George Michael song wasn't applicable. Released in 1990, it's not likely the calender will turn the page on this song in even the distant future.

George Michael - Praying for Time

These are the days of the open hand

They will not be the last

Look around now

These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man

Whose place is in the past

Hand in hand with ignorance

And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor

And most of us are not sure

If we have too much

But we'll take our chances

'Cause God's stopped keeping score

I guess somewhere along the way

He must have let us all out to play

Turned his back and all God's children

Crept out the back door

And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate

Hanging on to hope

When there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above say it's much too much too late

Well maybe we should all be praying for time

These are the days of the empty hand

Oh you hold on to what you can

And charity is a coat you wear twice a year

This is the year of the guilty man

Your television takes a stand

And you find that what was over there is over here

So you scream from behind your door

Say what's mine is mine and not yours

I may have too much but I'll take my chances

'Cause God's stopped keeping score

And you cling to the things they sold you

Did you cover your eyes when they told you

That he can't come back

'Cause he has no children to come back for

It's hard to love there's so much to hate

Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above say it's much too late

So maybe we should all be praying for time

Live - The Beauty of Gray

if I told you he was your brother

we could reminisce

then you would go about your day

if I said you ought to give him

some of your water

you'd shake your canteen and walk away

the perception that divides you from him

is a lie

for some reason you never asked why

this is not a black and white world

you can't afford to believe in your side

this is not a black and white world

to be alive

I say that the colors must swirl

and I believe

that maybe today

we will all get to appreciate

the beauty of gray

if I told you that she was your mother

we could analyze the situation and be gone

if I said you ought to give her

some of your water

your eyes would light up like the dawn

the perception that divides you from her

is a lie

for some reason you never asked why

this is not a black and white world

you can't afford to believe in your side

this is not a black and white world

to be alive

I say the colors must swirl

and I believe

that maybe today

we will all get to appreciate

the beauty of gray

look into your eyes

no daylight

new day now

Stand By Me

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we see

No I won't be afraid

No I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me

Oh, now, now, stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

And the mountain should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry

No I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me

Oh, now, now, stand by me

Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darling, darling stand by me

Stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
