Til I Hear It From You - Gin Blossoms


I didn't ask
They shouldn't have told me
At first I laughed, but now
It's sinking in fast
Whatever they've sold me

Well baby,
I don't wanna take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you... (hear it from you)

It gets hard when memory's faded
Who gets what they say
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded

Well maybe,
I don't wanna take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you... (hear it from you)

I can't let it get me off
Might break up my train of thought
As far as I know, nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you

Still thinking about
Not living without it
Outside looking in
'Til we're talking about it
Not stepping around it

Maybe...
I don't wanna take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you... (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you... (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you... (hear it from you)

Until I hear it from you... oh, no...
Until I hear it from you... oh, no...
Until I hear it from you... (Won't take advice from fools)
(I'll figure everything is cool...)
Until I hear it from you... (Won't take advice from fools)
(I'll figure everything is cool...)
Until I hear it from you...



Dire - Straits - Romeo And Juliet

A lovestruck romeo sing a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient street light steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?

Juliet says hey it's romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
And I forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above and I love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

I can't do the talk like they talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
And all I do is keep th beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
And there's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?



The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

Oh-a oh

I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.

Oh-a oh

You were the first one.
Oh-a oh

You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR.

You are a radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star)

Another of the WHOLE GROUP!!!
