SONG: Chains Of Love - The Innocents How can I explain When there are few words I can choose How can I explain When words get broken Do you remember There was a time ahaha When people on the street Were walking hand in hand in hand They used to talk about the weather Making plans together Days would last forever Come to me, cover me, hold me Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love Do you remember Once upon a time ahaha When there were open doors An invitation to the world We were falling in and out with lovers Looking out for others Our sisters and our brothers Come to me, cover me, hold me Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love Together we'll break these chains of love How can I explain When there are few words I can choose How can I explain When words get broken We used to talk about the weather Making plans together Days would last forever Come to me, cover me, hold me Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love SONG: A Little Respect - The Innocents I try to discover A little something to make me sweeter Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you give me no reason Why you're making me work so hard That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me And if I should falter Would you open your arms out to me We can make love not war And live at peace with our hearts I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue What religion or reason Could drive a man to forsake his lover Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you give me no reason Why you're making me work so hard That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me SONG: Stop! - Single We'll be together again I've been waiting for a long time We're gonna be, we're gonna be Together again I've been connected To the right line We'll be together And nobody ain't never Gonna disconnect us Or ever separate us Or say to us you've got to Stop!

Blue Savannah song Oh blue Savannah song Somewhere 'cross the desert Sometime in the early hour In a restless world On the open highways My home is where the heart is Sweet to surrender to you only I send my love to you Blue Savannah song Oh blue Savannah song Racing 'cross the desert At a hundred miles an hour To the orange side Through the clouds and thunder Home is where the heart is Sweet to surrender to you only I send my love to you I'm on my way back and your love will bring me home I'm travelling fast and your love will bring me home Will I discover that your love will bring me home? Somewhere 'cross the desert Sometime in the early hour To the orange side Through the clouds and thunder My home is where the heart is Sweet to surrender to you only I send my love to you SONG: Chorus - Chorus Go ahead with your dreamin' For what it's worth Or you'll be stricken bound Kicking up dirt For when it's dark You never know what the night it may bring Go ahead with your schemin' And shop at home You'll find treasure While cookin' up bones But the knife is sharp You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands And they covered up the sun Until the birds had flown away And the fishes in the sea Had gone to sleep Holy Moses our hearts are screaming Souls are lifting only dreaming We'll be waiting some are praying For a time when no one's cheating The sunlight rising over the horizon Just a distant memory the dawn chorus Birds singing bells ringing In our hearts in our minds... SONG: Love To Hate You - Chorus I'm crazy flowing over with ideas A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere Love and hate what a beautiful combination Sending shivers up and down my spine For every Casanova that appears My sense of hesitation disappears Love and hate what a beautiful combination Sending shivers up and down my spine And the lovers that you sent for me Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee So I return them to the sender And the note attached will read How I love to hate you I love to hate you I love to hate you I love to hate you Oh you really still expect me to believe Every single letter I receive Sorry you what a shameful situation Sending shivers up and down my spine I like to read a murder mystery I like to know the killer isn't me Love and hate what a beautiful combination Sending shivers make me quiver Feel it sliver up and down my spine SONG: Breath Of Life - Chorus Never had a point of view 'Cause my mind was always someone else's mind I never had to tell a lie 'Cause I left the choices up to them Don't know why but I did Oh I want life Life wants me To breathe in it's love Take me I'm yours Now I'm coming up for air I'm gonna live my time For the rest of my life Then I'll be comin' back for more I never had to call the tune 'Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon I would go out every night Looking for someone to treat me right Not a chance not a hope in this world SONG: Lay All Your Love On Me - Abba-Esque (Love) (Love) (Love) (Love) I wasn't jealous before we met Now every woman I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned has overturned I beg of you... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me (Don't go sharing your devotion) It was like shooting a sitting duck A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown-up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied, I skip my pride I beg you dear... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce I used to think I was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible 'Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned has overturned What can I do... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me (Don't go) Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me SONG: Take A Chance On Me - Abba-Esque If you change your mind, I'm the first in line Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me If you need me, let me know, and I'll be around If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie If you put me to the test, if you let me try Take a chance on me (come on, give me a break will ya?)
