Come Sail Away by Styx

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea

Cause I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard

We'll search for tomorrow on every shore

And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory

Some happy, some sad

I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had

We lived happily forever, so the story goes

But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold

But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head

They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said

They said come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me now

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me now

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise

We climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies

Singing come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me now

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away, come sail away

Word Crimes by Weird Al Yankovic

Everybody shut up

Everyone listen up!

If you can't write in the proper way

If you don't know how to conjugate

Maybe you flunked that class

And maybe now you find

That people mock you on-line

(Everybody wise up!)

Okay, now here's the deal

I'll try to educate ya

Gonna familiarize

You with the nomenclature

You'll learn the definitions

Of nouns and prepositions

Literacy's your mission

And that's why I think it's a good time

To learn some grammar (What!?)

Now, did I stammer?

Work on that grammar

You should know when

It's "less" or it's "fewer"

Like people who were

Never raised in a sewer

I hate these word crimes

Like "I could care less"

That means you do care

At least a little

Don't be a moron

You'd better slow down

And use the right pronoun

Show the world you're no clown

Everybody wise up!

Say you got an "it"

Followed by apostrophe, "s"

Now what does that mean?

You would not use "it's" in this case

As a possessive (no no no)

It's a contraction (yeah yeah yeah)

What's a contraction?

Well, it's a shortening of a word, or a group of words by omission of a sound or letter

Okay, now here's some notes

Syntax you're always mangling

No "x" in "espresso"

Your participle's danglin'

But I don't want your drama

If you really wanna

Leave out that Oxford comma

Just keep in mind that "be", "see", "are", "you"

Are words, not letters

Get it together

Use your spell-checker

You should never

Write words using numbers

Unless you're seven

Or your name is Prince

Everybody wise up!

I hate these word crimes (I hate them crimes)

You really need a (I hate them crimes)

Full-time proofreader (I mean those crimes)

You dumb mouth-breather

Well, you should hire

Some cunning linguist

To help you distinguish

What is proper English

Everybody wise up!

One thing I ask of you

Time to learn your homophones is past due

Learn to diagram a sentence too

Always say "to whom"

Don't ever say "to who"

And listen up when I tell you this

I hope you never use quotation marks for emphasis

You finished second grade

I hope you can tell

If you're doing good or doing well

Everybody wise up!

You'd better figure out the difference

Irony is not coincidence

And I thought that you'd gotten it through your skull

What's figurative and what's literal

Oh but just now you said

You literally couldn't get out of bed (What!?)

That really makes me want to literally

Smack a crowbar upside your stupid head

Everybody wise up!

I read your e-mail

It's quite apparent

Your grammar's errant

You're incoherent

Saw your blog post

It's really fantastic

That was sarcastic (Oh, psych!)

'Cause you write like a spastic

I hate these word crimes

Everybody wise up!

Your prose is dopey

Think you should only

Write in emoji

Oh, you're a lost 'cause

Go back to pre-school

Get out of the gene pool

Try your best to not drool

Never mind I give up

Really now I give up

Go away!

Bringing Back the Sunshine by Blake Shelton

Been forever since I've been gone
Haven't held you in so long
Miss you more than words can say
Guess we got a little off track
But love knows the way back
Through the storms and pouring rain

Got my hands on the wheel and I'm flying
Heartbeat loud as the thunder rolls
Riding in on a stampede of lightning, oh oh oh
I'm bringing back the sunshine
Bringing back the sunshine
Baby, it's about time, oh oh oh oh

Every moment, every sweet kiss
All the loving that we both missed
It's okay to let 'em go
Yesterday's all forgotten
And today we start rocking
Somewhere underneath the rainbow

Got my hands on the wheel and I'm flying
Heartbeat loud as the thunder rolls
Riding in on a stampede of lightning, oh oh oh
I'm bringing back the sunshine
Bringing back the sunshine
Baby, it's about time, oh
Oh yeah, bringing back, oh

Oh, bringing back the sunshine
Baby, it's about time, oh
Bringing back the sunshine
Baby, it's about time, oh

Bringing back, bringing back
Oh, I'm bringing back the sunshine
Baby, it's about time, oh
Bringing back, oh yeah

World So Cold by Three Days Grace

I never thought

I'd feel this

Guilty and I'm

Broken down inside

Living with myself

Nothing but lies

I always thought

I'd make it

But never knew I'd

Let it get so bad

Living with myself

Is all I have

I feel numb

I can't come to life

I feel like

I'm frozen in time

Living in a

World so cold

Wasting away

Living in a shell

With no soul

Since you've gone away

Living in a world so cold

Counting the days

Since you've gone away

You've gone away

Do you ever feel me

Do you ever look

Deep down inside

Staring at yourself

Paralyzed

I feel numb

I can't come to life

I feel like

I'm frozen in time

Living in a

World so cold

Wasting away

Living in a shell

With no soul

Since you've gone away

Living in a world so cold

Counting the days

Since you've gone away

You've gone away from me

I'm too young

To lose my soul

I'm too young

To feel this old

So long

I'm left behind

I feel like

I'm losing my mind

Do you ever feel me

Do you ever look

Deep down inside

Staring at your life

Paralyzed

Living in a

World so cold

Wasting away

Living in a shell

With no soul

Since you've gone away

Living in a world so cold

Counting the days

Since you've gone away

You've gone away

From me

I'm too young [x2]

Tough by Craig Morgan

She's in the kitchen at the crack of dawn
Bacon's on, coffee's strong
Kids running wild, taking off their clothes
If she's a nervous wreck, well it never shows
Takes one to football and one to dance
Hits the Y for aerobics class
Drops by the bank, stops at the store
Has on a smile when I walk through the door
The last to go to bed, she'll be the first one up
And I thought I was tough

[Chorus]
She's strong, pushes on, can't slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough

We sat there five years ago
The doctors let us know
The test showed
She'd have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
She held me and said it's gonna be alright
She wore that wig to church
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
No room for fear, full of faith
Hands held high singing Amazing Grace
Never once complained, refusing to give up
And I thought I was tough

[Chorus]
She's strong, pushes on, can't slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough

She's a gentle word, the sweetest kiss
A velvet touch against my skin
I've seen her cry, I've seen her break
But in my eyes, she'll always be strong

There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough

Preach by John Legend

Every day I wake and

Everything is broken

Turning off my phone just to get out of bed

Get home every evening

And history's repeating

Turning off my phone cuz it's hurting my chest

And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah

But what can I do?

I can't see the use in me crying

If I'm not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can't sit and hope, I

Can't just sit and pray, that

I can find a love, when

All I see is pain

Falling to my knees

And though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach

(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

All I hear is voices

Everybody's talking

Nothing real is happening, cause nothing is new

Now when all is tragic

And I just feel sedated

Why do I feel numb? Is that all I can do? Yeah

And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah

But I'm only human

I can't see the use in me crying

If I'm not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can't sit and hope, I

Can't just sit and pray, that

I can find a love, when

All I see is pain

I'm falling to my knees

And though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach

(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

And heaven knows I'm not helpless

But what can I do?

Can't see the use in me crying

If I'm not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can't sit and hope, I

Can't just sit and pray, that

I can find a love, when

All I see is pain

I try to do the things, I

Say that I believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach

(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

Falling to my knees

And though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach

Remember the Name by Ed Sheeran & Eminem

[Ed Sheeran:]

Yeah I was born a misfit, grew up ten miles from the town of Ipswich

Wanted to make it big I wished it to existence

I never was a sick kid, always dismissed quick

Stick to singing, stop rapping like it's Christmas

And if you're talkin' money then my conversation's shiftin'

My dreams are bigger than just being on the rich list

Might be insanity but people call it gifted

My face is going numb from the shit this stuff is mixed with

Watch how the lyrics in this song might get twisted

My wife wears red but looks better without the lipstick

I'm a private guy, and you know nothing about my business

And if I had my fifteen minutes, I must have missed 'em

Twenty years old is when I came in the game

And now it's eight years on and you Remember The Name

And if you thought I was good well then I'm better today

But it's ironic how you people thought I'd never be great

I like my shows open air, Tokyo to Delaware

Put your phones in the air if you wanna be rocked

You know I want way more than I already got

Give me a song with Eminem and 50 Cent "In Da Club"

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I wanna crack on and I wanna be paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I wanna crack on and I wanna be paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

[Eminem:]

Hey, hey, hey

I can still remember (What?)

Tryna shop a deal (Uh-huh)

From Taco Bell to TRL, I climbed the Billboard charts

To the top until as fate would have it (Yeah)

Became an addict, funny 'cause I had pop appeal

But they said time'll tell (What?) If I'd prevail (Huh?)

And all I did was (What?) Put Nine Inch Nails (Where?)

In my eye-lids now (What?) I'm seeing diamond sales

Like I'm in Zales (Yeah) Without a doubt, by any means

If rap was skinny jeans, I couldn't do anything in 'em

I'd be splitting seams of denim when I'm spitting schemes

Which really means, no if ands or butts, are squeezin' in between

You sleep on me, 'cause you're only fuckin' living in your dreams

Not even when I'm on my death bed

Man, I feel like Ed, it isn't time to drop the mic yet

So, why would I quit? The thought that I would stop when I'm dead

Just popped in my head, I said it, then forgot what I said

[Ed Sheeran and Eminem:]

It isn't my time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

[50 Cent:]

Ain't nobody cold as me, I dress so fresh, so clean

You could find me in my whip rockin my Fendi drip

Man, you know just what I mean

Shining, wrist with the rocks on it

Buscemi's the locks on it

Everything my voice on, the shit knock, don't it?

Balenciaga saga, I'm in Bergdorf ballin'

It's just another episode, my hoes, I spoil 'em

She like the fly shit, and I like to buy shit

Shit, I'm gettin' stupid money, what else we gon' do with money?

Bitch we be ballin' out, the king bringing 50 bottles

Tonight we gon' blow a check, worry 'bout the shit tomorrow

The turn up is so real, we 'bout to be super lit

Boy, I'm kickin' straight facts, that's just how we do this shit

Tomorrow we hangin' over, 'til we start feelin' sober

Then it's time to start it over, here we go again

[Ed Sheeran and 50 Cent:]

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

And it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

(Hey, hey, hey)

Oops!...I Did It Again by Britney Spears

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

[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

[Chorus 2x]

Red Cold River by Breaking Benjamin

Days reborn

Fight with folded hands

Pain left below

The lifeless live again

Run, run, run

Red cold river

Run, run, run

Red cold river

I can't feel anything at all

This life has left me cold and damned

I can't feel anything at all

This love has led me to the end

Stay reformed

Erase this perfect world

Hate left below

The dark stray dog of war

Run, run, run

Red cold river

I can't feel anything at all

This life has left me cold and damned

I can't feel anything at all

This love has led me to the end

Try to find a reason to live

Try to find a reason to live

Try to find a reason to live

I can't feel anything at all

(Try to find a reason to live)

This life has left me cold and damned

(Try to find a reason to live)

I can't feel anything at all

This love has led me to the end

Run, run, run

Red cold river

Human Nature by Michael Jackson

Looking out

Across the night-time

The city winks a sleepless eye

Hear her voice

Shake my window

Sweet seducing sighs

Get me out

Into the night-time

Four walls won't hold me tonight

If this town

Is just an apple

Then let me take a bite

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

Reaching out

To touch a stranger

Electric eyes are everywhere

See that girl

She knows I'm watching

She likes the way I stare

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Just tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

(Do you really like me to be around?)

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

I like livin' this way

I like lovin' this way

That way (The way it was.)

That way (The way it was.)

Looking out

Across the morning

The city's heart begins to beat

Reaching out

I touch her shoulder

I'm dreaming of the street

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

(Just tell me you like me to be around.)

Ooh, tell 'em

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

(Just tell me you like me to be around.)

Ooh, tell 'em

Why, why does he do it that way?

And they say, "Why? Why?"

Ooh, tell 'em

Why, why does he do it that way?

They say, "Why? Why?"

(Just tell me you like me to be around.)

Why, why does he do it that way?

I like livin' this way

The way

The way

Without You by Mariah Carey

No I can't forget this evening

Or your face as you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows

Yes it shows

No I can't forget tomorrow

When I think of all my sorrow

When I had you there but then I let you go

And now it's only fair that I should let you know

What you should know

I can't live

If living is without you

I can't live

I can't give anymore

Can't live

If living is without you

I can't give

I can't give anymore

Well I can't forget this evening

Or your face as you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows

Yes it shows

I can't live

If living is without you

I can't live

I can't give anymore

Can't live

If living is without you

I can't live

I can't give anymore

Can't live

Oh I can't live

No no no no

I can't live

Oh can't live

Living is without you

Oh I can't live

I can't live

I can't give anymore

Oh can't live

Oh I can't live

No no no I

Count On Me by Jefferson Starship

Precious love, I'll give it to you

Blue as the sky and deep

In the eyes of a love so true

Beautiful face, you make me feel

Light on the stairs and lost

In the air of a love so real

You can count on me

Count on my love

Count on me

Count on my love

To see you through

Emerald eyes and China perfume

Caught on the wheel and lost

In the feel of a love so soon

Ruby lips, you make my song

Into the night and saved by

The light of a love so strong

You can count on me

Count on my love

Count on me

Count on my love

To see you through

Woo hoo hoo hoo

You can count on me, girl

(Count on me)

You can count on my love

(Count on my love)

Precious love, I'll give it to you

Blue as the sky and deep

In the eyes of a love so true

Beautiful face, you make me feel

Light on the stairs and lost

In the air of a love so real

You can count on me

Count on my love

Count on me

Count on my love

Life In The Fast Lane by Eagles

He was a hard-headed man,

He was brutally handsome,

And she was terminally pretty

She held him up,

And he held her for ransom

In the heart of the cold, cold city

He had nasty reputation as a cruel dude

They said he was ruthless, said he was crude

They had one thing in common, they were good in bed

She'd say, "Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red."

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Are you with me so far?

Eager for action,

Hot for the game

The coming attraction,

The drop of a name

They knew all the right people,

They took all the right pills

They threw outrageous parties,

They paid heavenly bills

There were lines on the mirror,

Lines on her face

She pretended not to notice,

She was caught up in the race

Out every evening,

Until it was light

He was too tired to make it,

She was too tired to fight about it

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane,

Everything all the time

Life in the fast lane

Blowin' and burnin',

Blinded by thirst

They didn't see the stop sign,

Took a turn for the worst

She said, "Listen, baby. You can hear the engine ring.

We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen a goddamn thing."

He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."

"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."

They went rushin' down that freeway,

Messed around and got lost

They didn't care they were just dyin' to get off and it was...

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane,

Everything all the time

Life in the fast lane,

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane

All I Need Is A Miracle by Mike + the Mechanics

I said "Go if you wanna go

Stay if you wanna stay"

I didn't care if you hung around me

I didn't care if you went away

And I know you were never right

I'll admit I was never wrong

I could never make up my mind

I made it up as I went along

And though I treated you like a child

I'm gonna miss you for the rest of my life

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

I never had any time

And I never had any call

But I went out of my way just to hurt you

The one I shouldn't hurt at all

I thought I was being cool

Yeah, I thought I was being strong

But it's always the same old story

You never know what you've got 'til it's gone

If I ever catch up with you

I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

And if I ever catch up with you

I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a, all I need is a,

All I need is you (all I need is a miracle)
