1. "Melt with You" - Modern English |
|
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate (You should see why) Dropped in the state of imaginary grace (You should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human race (You should see why) Never comprehending a race that long gone by (I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you The future's open wide (Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world) I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love And if it expires pray help from above"
In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more" In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell- "more, more, more" More, more, more.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! lol :headbang:

'How Soon is Now?'
I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way ? I am Human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does
I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Oh, of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way ? I am Human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does
There's a club, if you'd like to go You could meet somebody who really loves you So you go, and you stand on your own And you leave on your own And you go home, and you cry And you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen "now" Well, when exactly do you mean ? See I've already waited too long And all my hope is gone
You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way ? I am Human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does

Sinead sang the most of first song and that transitioned into "Belgian Waffles" which Karen did the vocals on.

39. Nikki by Prince or formally known whatchamacallit guy with a bizarre |

symbol thingy.
I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess you could say she was a sex fiend. Met her in a hotel lobby, masturbating with a magazine. She asked if I would like to waste some time, and I couldn't resist one song that would make Nikki grind. OHHHH NIKKI!
That was so sexy when I was a teen. That whole "I am a slut and you know you want me" song. It was my high school anthem.
