Lyrics

Born To Be My Baby, copyright Bon Jovi, 1988

Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs cause there's
Bills to pay
We got something they can't
Take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one
And it's all right
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be
Your man
We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know
Where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had
A plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be
Your man

Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's okay
Our time, our way

So hold me close
Better hang on tight
Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down
The road of life
Our world, our fight

If we stand side by side (all night)
There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
And I know that you'll live
In my heart till the day that
I die

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be
Your man
We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know
Where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had
A plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be
Your man

My heart beats like a drum
All night
Flesh to flesh, one to one
And it's all right
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be
Your man
We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know
Where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had
A plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be
Your man

Angel, Sarah MacLachlan

Spend all your time waiting,
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason,
To feel not good enough,
And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction,
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
And may be empty,
Oh and weightless and maybe,
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are brung from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find, some comfort here

So tired of the straight line,
But everywhere you turn,
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twistin'
Keep on building the lies,
That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference,
Escape one last time,
It's easier, to believe
In this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are wrung from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find, some comfort here

You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here

Fragile, copyright Sting,

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
