1. LET MY LOVE OPEN THE DOOR – Pete Townshend
When people keep repeating That you'll never fall in love When everybody keeps retreating But you can't seem to get enough
[chorus] Let my love open the door Let my love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart (my love open the door…)
When everything feels all over When everybody seems unkind I'll give you a four leaf clover Take all the worry out of your mind
[chorus]
I have the only key to your heart I can stop you falling apart Try today, you'll find this way Come on and give me a chance to say Let my love open the door It's all I'm living for Release yourself from misery There's only one thing gonna set you free That's my love
When tragedy befalls you
Don't let it drag you down Love can cure your problems You're so lucky I'm around
Let my love open the door Let my love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart.
2. Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand
[chorus] Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see
[chorus]
No I'm never gonna give you up No I'm never gonna let you down No I'll never run around and hurt you Never ever desert you
We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but
[chorus]
No I'm never gonna give you up No I'm never gonna let you down
No I'll never run around and hurt you I'll never ever desert you

3. INVISIBLE STRING - Taylor Swift
Green was the color of the grass Where I used to read at Centennial Park I used to think I would meet somebody there Teal was the color of your shirt When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop You used to work at to make a little money
Time, curious time Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs Were there clues I didn't see? And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Bad was the blood of the song in the cab On your first trip to LA You ate at my favorite spot for dinner Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip Getting lunch down by the Lakes She said I looked like an American singer
Time, mystical time Cutting me open, then healing me fine Were there clues I didn't see? And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
A string that pulled me Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar
Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire Chains around my demons Wool to brave the seasons One single thread of gold Tied me to you
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind For the boys who broke my heart Now I send their babies presents Gold was the color of the leaves When I showed you around Centennial Park Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
Time, wondrous time Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies And it's cool Baby, with me And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Me______Oooh_____
4. Real Love – Mary J. Blige Feat. Arietta Ward and friends
We are lovers through and through And though we made it through the storm I really want you to realize I really want to put you on I've been searching for someone To satisfy my every need Won't you be my inspiration Be the real love that I need
[chorus] Real love I'm searching for a real love Someone to set my heart free Real love I'm searching for a real love
Ooh, when I met you I just knew That you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me You said I'm not the one So I slowly came to see All of the things that you were made of And now I hope my dreams and inspiration Lead me towards a real
[chorus] I got to have a real love
Love so true and oh, baby I thought that love was you I thought you were the answer To the question in my mind But it seems that I was wrong If I stay strong maybe I'll find a
So I try my best and pray to God He'd send me someone real To caress me and to guide me Towards a love my heart can feel Now I know I can be faithful I can be your all and all And give you good lovin' through the summertime Winter, spring and fall
[chorus]
You see I'm searching for a real love And I don't know where to go I've been around the world and high and low And still will never know How it feels to have a real love 'Cause it seems there's none around I gotta end it in this way Because seems he can't be found
[chorus]
Real love

5. TINY DANCER – Elton John Feat. Don Henson
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, Seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, You'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her Dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, Tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street Handing tickets out for God Turning back she just laughs The boulevard is not that bad Piano man he makes his stand In the auditorium Looking on she sings the songs The words she knows, the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you and you can hear me When I say softly, slowly
[chorus] Hold me closer, tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen You had a busy day today
(repeat)
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, Seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, You'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her Dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, Tiny dancer in my hand
But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you and you can hear me When I say softly, slowly
[chorus x 2]
6. Love Train - The O'Jays
[chorus]
People all over the world Join hands Start a love train, love train People all over the world Join hands Start a love train, love train
The next stop that we make will be England Tell all the folks in Russia, and China, too Don't you know that it's time to get on board And let this train keep on riding, riding on through Well, well
[chorus]
All of you brothers over in Africa Tell all the folks in Egypt, and Israel, too Please don't miss this train at the station 'Cause if you miss it, I feel sorry, sorry for you Well
[chorus]
Ride, let it ride Let it ride Let it ride
I see you driving 'round town with the girl I love And I'm like, "Fuck you" (ooh, ooh, ooh) I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck her, too" Said, "If I was richer, I'd still be with ya" Ha, now ain't that some shit? (Ain't that some shit?) And although there's pain in my chest I still wish you the best With a "Fuck you" (ooh, ooh, ooh)
[chorus]
Yeah, I'm sorry I can't afford a Ferrari But that don't mean I can't get you there I guess he's an Xbox and I'm more Atari But the way you play your game ain't fair I pity the fool that falls in love with you Start a love train… Ooh, I've got some news for you… Fuck you

If you don't wanna see me…
Did a full 180, crazy Thinking 'bout the way I was Did the heartbreak change me? Maybe But look at where I ended up I'm all good already So moved on, it's scary I'm not where you left me at all, so

8. TEMPTED - Squeeze Feat. Andrew P Woodworth
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste A flannel for my face Pajamas, a hairbrush New shoes and a case I said to my reflection "Let's get out of this place"
Passed the church and the steeple The laundry on the hill Billboards and the buildings Memories of it still Keep calling and calling But forget it all, I know I will
[chorus] Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on Now that you have gone There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered
I'm at the car park, the airport The baggage carousel (The people keep on grindin') Ain't wishing I was well I said it's no occasion (It's no story I could tell)
At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock Your body gets much closer I fumble for the clock Alarmed by the seduction I wish that it would stop
[chorus]
I bought a novel, some perfume A fortune all for you But it's not my conscience That hates to be untrue I asked of my reflection Tell me what is there to do?
[chorus]
Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What’s been going on

10. BREADLEY – Bread (arr. Ben Landsverk)
Hey have you ever tried Really reaching out for the other side? I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes
Dreams are for those who sleep Life is for us to keep And if you're wondering what this song is leading to, I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl
Baby I'm-a want you Baby I'm-a need you You're the only one I care enough to hurt about Maybe I'm-a crazy But I just can't live without your Lovin' and affection Givin' me direction Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour Lately I'm a-prayin' That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by Feeling all the while and never really knowing why…
Who draws the crowd and plays so loud, baby, it's the guitar man Who's gonna steal the show, you know, baby, it's the guitar man
He can make you love, he can make you cry He will bring you down and he'll get you high Somethin' keeps him goin' miles and miles a day To find another place to play Night after night, who treats you right, baby, it's the guitar man Who's on the radio, you go listen to the guitar man
Then he comes to town and you see his face And you think you might like to take his place Somethin' keeps him driftin' miles and miles away Searching for the songs to play
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along You want to get the meaning out of each and every song Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own and take 'em home
If a picture paints a thousand words, Then why can't I paint you? The words will never show
The you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships Then where am I to go? There's no one home but you You're all that's left me too And when, my love For life is running dry You come and pour Yourself on me.
You sheltered me from harm Kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me Set me free, set me free The finest years I ever knew Were all the years I had with you
[chorus] And I would give anything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know You're loving them so But taking them all for granted You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say
[chorus]
Then one, by one, The stars would all go out And you, and I, would simply fly away______
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH______
11. In Your Eyes – Peter Gabriel Featuring The Low Bar Chorale
Love I get so lost sometimes Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart When I want to run away I drive off in my car (ooo) But whichever way I go I come back to the place you are (ooo)
All my instincts, they return The grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside (oh___ / oh-ooo)
In your eyes The light, the heat (in your eyes) I am complete (in your eyes) I see the doorway (in your eyes) To a thousand churches (in your eyes) The resolution (in your eyes) Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes) Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes) Oh, I wanna be that complete I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away I get so tired working so hard for our survival I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive (ooo)
All my instincts they return The grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside (oh___ / oh-ooo)
In your eyes (your eyes, your eyes) In your eyes
In your eyes The light, the heat (in your eyes) I am complete (in your eyes) I see the doorway To a thousand churches (in your eyes) The resolution (in your eyes) Of all the fruitless searches Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes) Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes) I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
Oh, I feel the light and the heat (in your eyes) Oh, I wanna feel that complete (in your eyes) I wanna touch the light, the heat I feel in your eyes I wanna touch the light, the heat I feel in your eyes
In your eyes…

12. DON’T YOU WANT ME BABY - Human League
You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too

Don't, don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't, don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find You think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
