Rainy Night In Soho by The Pogues I've been loving you a long time Down all the years, down all the days And I've cried for all your troubles Smiled at your funny little ways We watched our friends grow up together And we saw them as they fell Some of them fell into Heaven Some of them fell into Hell I took shelter from a shower And I stepped into your arms On a rainy night in Soho The wind was whistling all its charms I sang you all my sorrows You told me all your joys Whatever happened to that old song To all those little girls and boys Now the song is nearly over We may never find out what it means But there's a light I hold before me And you're the measure of my dreams The measure of my dreams Sometimes I wake up in the morning The gingerlady by my bed Covered in a cloak of silence I hear you talking in my head I'm not singing for the future I'm not dreaming of the past I'm not talking of the first time I never think about the last Now the song is nearly over We may never find out what it means Still there's a light I hold before me You're the measure of my dreams The measure of my dreams

Monster Mash I was working in the lab late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab began to rise And suddenly to my surprise He did the mash He did the monster mash The monster mash It was a graveyard smash He did the mash It caught on in a flash He did the mash He did the monster mash From my laboratory in the castle east To the master bedroom where the vampires feast The ghouls all came from their humble abodes To catch a jolt from my electrodes They did the mash They did the monster mash The monster mash It was a graveyard smash They did the mash It caught on in a flash They did the mash They did the monster mash The zombies were having fun The party had just begun The guests included Wolf Man Dracula and his son The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds Eegore on chains, backed by his baying hounds The coffin-bangers were about to arrive With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five' They played the mash They played the monster mash The monster mash And it was a graveyard smash They played the mash Its caught on in a flash They played the mash They played the monster mash Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring Seems he was troubled by just one thing He opened the lid and shook his fist And said, 'Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?' It's now the mash It's now the monster mash The monster mash It's now a graveyard smash It's now the mash It's caught on in a flash It's now the mash It's now the monster mash Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band And my monster mash is the hit of the land For you, the living, this mash was meant too When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you Then you can mash Then you can monster mash The monster mash And do my graveyard smash Then you can mash You'll catch on in a flash Then you can mash Then you can monster mash

For Tomorrow...Blur He's a twentieth century boy, with his hands on the rails Trying not to be sick again and holding on for tomorrow London ice cracks on a seamless line, he's hanging on for dear life So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow Singing la la la la la la Holding on for tomorrow She's a twentieth century girl, with her hands on the wheel Trying not to make him sick again, seeing what she can borrow London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes, but we're lost on the west way So we hold each other tightly we can wait until tomorrow CHORUS Trying not to be sick again and holding on for tomorrow She's a twentieth century girl hanging on for dear life So we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow CHORUS [OVERVOICE] Jim stops and gets out of the car, goes to a house in emperor's gate, through the door and to his room, then he puts the TV on, turns it off and makes some tea, says modern life is rubbish, then Susan comes into the room, she's a naughty girl with a lovely smile and says let's take a drive to primrose hill it's windy there and the view is so nice, London ice can freeze your toes like anyone I suppose

This is a really nice song.... Blur Sweet Song What am I to do Someone here is really not happy Put myself on a line It seems I never got through to you So I wean myself off slowly I'm a darkened soul My streets all pop music and gold Our lives are on TV You switch off and try to sleep People get so lonely I believe I believe I believe Everything's out to sea I believe I believe I believe I believe That is the way it should be I hope you feel the same Everyone is dying Stop crying now here comes the sun I didn't mean to hurt you no no no It takes time to see what you have done So I wean myself off slowly I believe I believe I believe Love is the only one I deceive I deceive I deceive I deceive Cos' I'm not that strong Hope you feel the same And now it seems that we're falling apart But I hope I see the good in you come back again I just believed in you

Idlewild 'live in a hiding place' There are times that I should try, To be so much more alive But if time was right then I would be with you again Or do you worry that I try to avoid the point And then deny The time I spent deciding it was you again It`s when I live in a hiding place It`s the only way I feel safe When I`m safe in a hiding place (That`s not hidden now) I`m safe in a hiding place It`s the only way I feel safe When I`m safe in a hiding place And you`re full of facts But not things that could add up to words Think about meaning more as an after word As in afterward I return but don`t remain, I`m impatient for a reason To complain about winter, Making me see through again Or is it your damaged reply, That makes me realize that The more I try The less that plans will help me comprehend again So I live in a hiding place It`s the only way I feel safe When I`m safe in a hiding place (That`s not hidden now) I`m safe in a hiding place It`s the only way I feel safe When I live in a hiding place And you`re full of facts But not things that could add up to words You think about meaning more as an after word And you`re full of facts But not things that could add up to words You think about meaning more as an after word As in afterward

HIM - Under the Rose dream of the winter in my heart turning to spring While the ice gives way under my feet And so I drown with the sun I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose I open my eyes with a sigh of relief As the warmth of summer's sunlight dances around me And I see you with dead leaves in your hands I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose

I'm the helpline operator & I'll spare you the time. I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine. Put your tongue into the mouthpiece And whisper in my ear. Admit to me the things you can't admit to yourself. Admit to me & no one else. Everybody's looking for someone to tell them what they want to hear. Everybody's looking for true love To help them feel what they cannot feel. I'm the helpline operator, can you spare me the time. I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine.
