    On a bridge across the Severn on a saturday night,
    Susie meets the man of her dreams.
    He says that he got in trouble and if she doesn't mind
    He doesn't want the company
    But there's something in the air
    They share a look in silence and everything is understood
    Susie grabs her man and puts a grip on his hand
    As the rain puts a tear in his eye..
    She says..

    Don't let go
    Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
    Don't let go
    Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

    Driving through the city to the Temple station,
    Cries into the leather sea
    And Susie know the baby was a family man,
    But the world has got him down on his knees

    So she throws him at the wall and kisses burn like fire,
    And suddenly he starts to believe
    He takes her in his arms he doesn't know why,
    But it seems that he begins to see

    When you know the notes to sing
    You can sing most anything
    That's what my Mama told me
    Round and round and round you go
    When you find love you'll always know
    I let my father mold me
    Daddy couldn't be all wrong
    (I'm not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)
    And my Mama made me learn this song
    (You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)

    I can't help falling in love
    I fall deeper and deeper the further I go
    Kisses sent down from heaven above
    They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

    All is fair in love she said
    Think with your heart, not with your head
    That's what my Mama told me
    All the little things you do
    Will end up coming back to you
    I let my father mold me
    Daddy couldn't be all wrong
    (I'm not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)
    And my Mama made me learn this song
    (You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)
    That's why

    I can't help falling in love
    I fall deeper and deeper the further I go
    Kisses sent down from heaven above
    They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

    Someone said that romance was dead
    And I believed it instead of remembering
    What my Mama told me
    Let my father mold me
    Then you tried to hold me
    You remind me what they said
    This feeling inside
    I can't explain
    But my love is alive
    And I'm never gonna hide it again

    Daddy couldn't be all wrong
    (Not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)
    And my Mama made me learn this song
    (You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)
    That's why

    I can't help falling in love
    I fall deeper and deeper the further I go
    Kisses sent down from heaven above
    They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

    I'm not myself when you're around
    I'm not myself standing in a crowd
    I'm not myself and I don't know how
    I'm not myself, myself right now

    Jesus Christ will you look at me
    Don't know who I'm supposed to be
    Don't really know if I should give a damn
    When you're around, I don't know who I am

    I'm not myself when you go quiet
    I'm not myself alone at night
    I'm not myself, don't know who to call
    I'm not myself at all

    I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
    But in the process I forgot that I was special too

    I'm not myself when you're around
    I'm not myself when you go quiet
    I'm not myself all alone at night
    I'm not myself standing in a crowd
    I'm not myself and I don't know how
    I'm not myself, myself right now
    Don't know what I believe

    I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
    But in the process I forgot that I was special too
    I always wished that I could find someone as talented as you
    But in the process I forgot that I was just as good as you

    Cher - Strong Enough

    By Henrietta,

    I don't need your sympathy
    There's nothing you can say or do for me
    And I don't want a miracle
    You'll never change for no one

    I hear your reasons why
    Where did you sleep last night?
    And was she worth it, was she worth it?

    'Cos I'm strong enough
    To live without you
    Strong enough and I quit crying
    Long enough now I'm strong enough
    To know you gotta go

    There's no more to say
    So save your breath
    And then walk away
    No matter what I hear you say
    I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

    So you feel misunderstood
    Baby, have I got news for you
    On being used, I could write a book
    You don't wanna hear about it

    I've been losing sleep
    You've been going cheap
    She ain't worth half of me it's true
    I'm telling you

    Now I'm strong enough to live without you
    Strong enough and I quit crying
    Long enough now I'm strong enough
    To know you gotta go

    Come hell or waters high
    You'll never see me cry
    This is our last goodbye, it's true

    I'm telling you
    That I'm strong enough to live without you
    Stron enough and I quit crying
    Long enough now I'm strong enough
    To know you gotta go

    There's no more to say
    So save your breath
    And you walk away
    No matter what I hear you say
    I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

    Cher - Believe

    By Henrietta,

    No matter how hard I try
    You keep pushing me aside
    And I can't break through
    There's no talking to you
    It's so sad that you're leaving
    It takes time to believe it
    But after all is said and done
    You're gonna be the lonely one

    Do you believe in life after love
    I can feel something inside me say
    I really don't think you're strong enough
    Do you believe in life after love
    I can feel something inside me say
    I really don't think you're strong enough

    What am I supposed to do
    Sit around and wait for you
    Well I can't do that
    And there's no turning back
    I need time to move on
    I need a love to feel strong
    'Cause I've got time to think it through
    And maybe I'm too good for you

    Do you believe in life after love
    I can feel something inside me say
    I really don't think you're strong enough
    Do you believe in life after love
    I can feel something inside me say
    I really don't think you're strong enough

    Well I know that I'll get through this
    'Cause I know that I am strong
    I don't need you anymore
    I don't need you anymore
    I don't need you anymore
    No I don't need you anymore

    Do you believe in life after love
    I can feel something inside me say
    I really don't think you're strong enough

    When I was very young
    Nothing really mattered to me
    But making myself happy
    I was the only one

    Now that I am grown
    Everything's changed
    I'll never be the same
    Because of you

    [Chorus:]
    Nothing really matters
    Love is all we need
    Everything I give you
    All comes back to me

    Looking at my life
    It's very clear to me
    I lived so selfishly
    I was the only one

    I realize
    That nobody wins
    Something is ending
    And something begins

    [Chorus: 2x]
    Nothing really matters
    Love is all we need
    Everything I give you
    All comes back to me

    Nothing takes the past away
    Like the future
    Nothing makes the darkness go
    Like the light

    You're shelter from the storm
    Give me comfort in your arms

    I never return to love somebody
    Now all that i need is all i see in you
    And only you
    And if you get lost I'll always find you
    You're all that i need your heart will keep you true
    My only you

    You make me fall and i can't sleep
    You're holding on but it's too deep
    And i can't give it away
    I just can't give it away

    When you slowly close your eyes
    We play the moment in your life
    Just give it away
    Just give it away
    When you slowly close your eyes
    We play the moment in your life
    Just give it away
    Just give it away

    Don't ever forget to tell somebody
    The feelings inside to make your dreams come true
    I dream of you
    To feel so alive and want somebody
    It's not make believe my world would be for you
    And only you

    You make me fall and i can't sleep
    You're holding on but it's too deep
    And i can't give it away
    I just can't give it away

    When you slowly close your eyes
    We play the moment in your life
    Breathe in and give it away
    Breathe out and give it away
    When you slowly close your eyes
    We play the moment in your life
    Breathe in and give it away
    Breathe out and give it away.

    You stepped into my life
    Doing things to me
    That I can't explain.
    Think twice, Baby,
    This ain't no game!
    If you can't commit
    Totally and not just a little bit,
    Why do you keep me hanging on
    So long?

    What about me?
    Do you really wanna hurt me, baby?
    Tell me now: What about me?
    Do you wanna break my heart to pieces?
    Girl, I gotta know: What about me.
    What about me?

    You taught me what it means
    To walk along the lonely street ?f dreams,
    But I cannot take it, take it no more, Oh Baby!
    Now it's up to you
    If you keep me standing like
    A fool,
    I gotta take my pride and go,
    I'll go.

    What about me?
    Do you really wanna hurt me, baby?
    Tell me now: What about me?
    Do you wanna break my heart to pieces?

    Music

    Music makes the people come together
    (Never gonna stop)
    Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel
    (Never gonna stop)

    Don't think of yesterday
    And I don't look at the clock
    I like to boogie-woogie, uh, uh
    It's like riding on the wind
    And it never goes away
    Touches everything I'm in
    Got to have it everyday

    Music makes the people come together
    (Never gonna stop)
    Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel
    (Never gonna stop)

    Hey Mister D.J.

    (Never gonna stop)
    Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel

    Como puede ser verdad
    How could it be true?

    Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
    Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
    A young girl with eyes like the desert
    It all seems like yesterday, not far away

    Chorus:

    Tropical the island breeze
    All of nature wild and free
    This is where I long to be
    La isla bonita
    And when the samba played
    The sun would set so high
    Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
    Your Spanish lullaby

    The beautiful island

    I fell in love with San Pedro
    Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
    Te dijo te amo
    I prayed that the days would last
    They went so fast

    He told you, "I love you"

    (chorus)

    I want to be where the sun warms the sky
    When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
    Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
    Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

    Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
    It all seems like yesterday, not far away

    (chorus twice)

    La la la la la la la
    Te dijo te amo
    La la la la la la la
    El dijo que te ama

    He told you, "I love you"

    He said he loves you

    Take me, I'm alive, never was a girl with a wicked mind
    But everything looks better, when the sun goes down
    I had everything, opportunities for eternity and I
    could belong to the night
    Your eyes, your eyes, I can see in your eyes, your eyes

    You make me wanna die
    I'll never be good enough
    You make me wanna die
    And everything you love will burn up in the light
    Every time I look inside your eyes
    Make me wanna die

    Taste me drink my soul, show me all the things that I
    shouldn't know, when there's a new moon on the rise
    I had everything, opportunities for eternity and I
    could belong to the night
    Your eyes, your eyes, I can see in your eyes, your eyes
    Everything in your eyes...

    You make me wanna die
    I'll never be good enough
    You make me wanna die
    And everything you love will burn up in the light
    Every time I look inside your eyes (I'm running in the light)
    Make me wanna die

    I would die for you, my love, my love
    I would lie for you, my love, my love (make me wanna die)
    I would steal for you, my love, my love(make me wanna die)
    I would die for you, my love, my love

    But up in the light...
    Every time I look inside your eyes (I'm running in the light)
    Up inside your eyes (I'm running in the light)
    Look inside your eyes
    You make me wanna die

    Madonna - Broken

    By Henrietta,

    (Don't you feel sorry, don't you feel sorry...)
     
    Broken like a crooked smile
    A little hunched over but I walked that mile
    I've woken from a fuzzy dream
    You never would believe the things that I have seen
     
    Don't you feel sorry for me
    'Cause I'm right where the universe wants me to be
    A lesson that I needed to learn
    But that doesn't mean that it doesn't burn
     
    Don't you feel sorry
    Don't you feel sorry
    Don't you feel sorry for me
    'Cause I won't change my story
    Don't take all my glory
    Don't you feel sorry me
     
    Tied up with leather and rope
    A little bit of medicine to give me hope
    I'm inky like a smoking gun
    It's gonna take a while to heal the damage done
     
    Don't you feel sorry for me
    'Cause I'm right where the universe wants me to be
    A lesson that I needed to learn (A lesson that I needed to learn)
    But that doesn't mean that it doesn't burn
     
    Don't you feel sorry
    Don't you feel sorry
    Don't you feel sorry for me
    'Cause I won't change my story
    Don't take all my glory
    Don't you feel sorry me
     
    (A lesson that I needed to learn)
    No pain, no gain, no defective parts
    No dirty business, no forgiveness, no broken heart
     
    (Don't you feel sorry)

    Madonna -Miss you

    By Henrietta,

    I miss you most of all
    When those autumn leaves start to fall
    Drifting by my window
    They climb up over the wall
    Why does a good thing have to end?
    Can’t see it happen where and when?
    Suck up the change, don’t be so cruel
    I’ve got no one to blame, I’m just I fool

    Hold on and keep on telling me
    Something good’s gonna come
    The red and gold have put their spell on me
    And old man winter is gonna come
    You know, he keeps on blocking up the sun

    I miss you most of all
    When they burn those bonfires tall
    Smoking ashes fill the air
    And the harvesters are everywhere
    No time to waste, let’s drink the wine
    Don’t let the fruit rot on the vine
    When the sun is a big and fiery ghost, you know
    That is the time I miss you most

    They say, hold on and keep on telling me
    Something good’s gonna come
    The red and gold  have put their spell on me
    And old man winter is gonna come
    You know, he keeps on blocking up the sun

    Cold wind is hauling
    And there’re damping creeps in our bones
    Seasons change, why didn’t we?
    Come on, bring that summer back to me
    Hold on and keep on telling me
    Something good’s gonna come
    The red and gold  have put their spell on me
    And old man winter is gonna come
    You know, he keeps on blocking up the sun
    Tell me why does he always have to come?
  15. Henrietta
    LET us go then, you and I, 
    When the evening is spread out against the sky
    Like a patient etherized upon a table;
    Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
    The muttering retreats
    Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
    And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
    Streets that follow like a tedious argument
    Of insidious intent
    To lead you to an overwhelming question ...
    Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"

    Let us go and make our visit.
    In the room the women come and go
    Talking of Michelangelo.

    The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
    The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,
    Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
    Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
    Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
    Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
    And seeing that it was a soft October night,
    Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

    And indeed there will be time
    For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
    Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
    There will be time, there will be time
    To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
    There will be time to murder and create,
    And time for all the works and days of hands
    That lift and drop a question on your plate;
    Time for you and time for me,
    And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
    And for a hundred visions and revisions,
    Before the taking of a toast and tea.

    In the room the women come and go
    Talking of Michelangelo.

    And indeed there will be time
    To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
    Time to turn back and descend the stair,
    With a bald spot in the middle of my hair--
    (They will say: 'How his hair is growing thin!")
    My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
    My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin--
    (They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!")
    Do I dare
    Disturb the universe?
    In a minute there is time
    For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.
    So how should I presume?

    And I have known the eyes already, known them all--
    The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
    And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
    When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
    Then how should I begin
    To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
    And how should I presume?

    And I have known the arms already, known them all--
    Arms that are braceleted and white and bare
    (But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!)
    Is it perfume from a dress
    That makes me so digress?
    Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl.
    And should I then presume?
    And how should I begin?

    Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
    And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
    Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? ...

    I should have been a pair of ragged claws
    Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

    * * *

    And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!
    Smoothed by long fingers,
    Asleep ... tired ... or it malingers,
    Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me.
    Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,
    Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
    But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
    Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,
    I am no prophet--and here's no great matter;
    I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
    And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
    And in short, I was afraid.

    And would it have been worth it, after all,
    After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
    Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me,
    Would it have been worth while,
    To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
    To have squeezed the universe into a ball
    To roll it towards some overwhelming question,
    To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
    Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"--
    If one, settling a pillow by her head
    Should say: "That is not what I meant at all;
    That is not it, at all."

    And would it have been worth it, after all,
    Would it have been worth while,
    After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets,
    After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor--
    And this, and so much more?--
    It is impossible to say just what I mean!
    But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:
    Would it have been worth while
    If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl,
    And turning toward the window, should say:
    "That is not it at all,
    That is not what I meant, at all."

    No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
    Am an attendant lord, one that will do
    To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
    Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
    Deferential, glad to be of use,
    Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
    Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
    At times, indeed, almost ridiculous--
    Almost, at times, the Fool.

    I grow old ... I grow old ...
    I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

    Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
    I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
    I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

    I do not think that they will sing to me.

    I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
    Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
    When the wind blows the water white and black.
    We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
    By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
    Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
