Pink Floyd - High Hopes



Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before times took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
When friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

Carly Simon - Coming Around Again



Baby sneezes
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

You pay the grocer
You fix the toaster
Kiss the host good-bye
Then you break a window
Burn the soufflé?
Scream the lullaby

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
I'm so in love with you

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It will be coming around again

Marmalade - Reflections Of My Life


(Dean Ford - Junior Campbell)

The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh, how they fill my eyes

The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh, how they fill my mind

All my sorrow, sad tomorrow
Take me back to my own home
All my crying (all my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home

I'm changing, arranging
I'm changing
I'm changing everything
Ah, everything around me

The world is a bad place
A bad place
A terrible place to live
Oh, but I don't wanna die

All my sorrow
Sad tomorrow
Take me back to my own home
All my crying (all my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
(Oh I'm going home)

Bárbara Eugênia - Porque Brigamos


(I Am... I Said - Neil Diamond) Versão: Diana - Rossini Pinto

Quanto mais eu penso em lhe deixar
Mais eu sinto que eu não posso
Pois eu me prendi a sua vida
Muito mais do que devia
Quando é noite de regresso você briga
Por qualquer motivo
Confesso que tenho vontade de ir pra bem longe
Pra nunca mais te ver

Ó meu amado, porque brigamos
Não posso mais viver assim sempre chorando
A minha paz estou perdendo
A nossa vida deve ser de alegria
Pois eu lhe amo tanto

Já não consigo esquecer as tolices
Que você diz nessas horas
Já tentei mas não posso
Tenho a impressão que do amor que uma dia existiu entre nós
Hoje só resta uma chama apagando
O medo de ficar só me apavora
E eu me desespero
Só me resta pedir sua ajuda
Pedir que você não me deixe meu amor

Ó meu amado porque brigamos
Não posso mais viver assim sempre chorando
A minha paz estou perdendo
A nossa vida deve ser de alegria
Pois eu lhe amo tanto

Rod Stewart and Amy Belle - I Don't Want To Talk About It



I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing
To you, they're a mirror

I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart

If I stand all alone
Will the shadows hide the colors of my heart?
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The stars in the sky don't mean nothing
To you, they're just a mirror

I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart

With Or Without You - U2



See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails, she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you, ah, ah
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you, oh
I can't live
With or without you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
With or without you
With or without you, oh
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
