    I look around at a beautiful life
    Been the upperside of down
    Been the inside of out
    But we breathe
    We breathe...

    Stereophonics - "Maybe tomorrow"

    If I ventured in the slipstream
    between the viaducts of your dream

    I'm alone, yeah, I don't know if I can face the night
    I'm in tears, and the cryin' that I do is for you
    I want your love, let's break the walls between us
    Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride
    Enough's enough, I've suffered and I've seen the light

    Aerosmith : Angel

    Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington
    Don't put your daughter on the stage.
    She's a bit of an ugly duckling and you surely must confess
    The width of her seat would surely defeat her chances of success
    It's a loud voice and though it's not entirely flat
    She'll need a little more than that to earn a living wage
    On my knees Mrs Worthington, please Mrs Worthington
    Don't put your daughter on the stage.

    Pure Poetry

    Jazzman by Carol King

    Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine?
    Make it nice, play it clean, Jazzman

    When the Jazzman's testifyin' a faithless man believes
    He can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees
    It's a gospel kind of feelin', a touch of Georgia slide
    A song of pure revival and a style that's sanctified


    Jazzman, take my blues away
    Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play
    Jazzman, oh Jazzman

    When the Jazzman's signifyin' and the band is windin' low
    It's the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul
    He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn with tears
    He can cry like a fallen Angel when the risin' time is near

    Jazzman, take my blues away
    Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play
    Jazzman, oh Jazzman

    Oh lift me, won't you lift me with every turn around?
    Play it sweetly, take me down, oh Jazzman

    =====================================
    EDIT -

    I don't need a vision
    I'd like to embrace.
    And not only false promises, hopes and wishes.
    To find my place
    So I keep singing.

    Hello darkness, my old friend,
    I've come to talk with you again
    -- The Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel --

    A soldier on my own, I don't know the way
    I'm ready for the fight and fate

    A million mile from home, I'm walking away
    I can't remind your eyes, your face
    -- Iron – Woodkid --

    When my time comes
    Forget the wrong that I've done
    Help me leave behind some
    Reasons to be missed

    I'm strong on the surface
    Not all the way through
    I've never been perfect
    But neither have you
    -- Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park --

    Behind those eyes lies the truth and grief
    Behind those beautiful smiles I've seen tragedy
    The flawless skin hides the secrets within
    Silent forces that secretly ignite your sins
    -- Lucifer's Angel - The Rasmus –-

    Far away, long ago,
    Glowing dim as an ember,
    Things my heart
    Used to know,
    Things it yearns to remember...
    -- Once Upon A December - Deana Carter –-


    You used to captivate me by your resonating light
    Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
    Your face—it haunts my once pleasant dreams
    Your voice—it chased away all the sanity in me
    -- My Immortal – Evanescence --

    And they say that a hero could save us
    I'm not gonna stand here and wait
    I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
    Watch as we all fly away
    -- Nickelback - Hero --

    Remember
    When your dreams have ended
    Time can be transcended
    -- Remember - Josh Groban --


    Look for the bare necessities
    The simple bare necessities
    Forget about your worries and your strife
    I mean the bare necessities
    Old Mother Nature's recipes
    That brings the bare necessities of life
    -- The Bare Necessities - The Jungle Book --


    The greatest thing you'll ever learn
    Is just to love and be loved in return
    -- Nature Boy - Nat King Cole --
    If we shadows have offended,
    Think but this, and all is mended—
    If you pardon, we will mend,
    And Robin shall restore amends.
    Now give me your hands if we be friends.

    - Extracted from Midsummer Night’s Dream by W. Shakespeare -
