Land of Confusion
Genesis
I mustve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
Theyre moving into the street.
Now did you read the news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
There burning into the night.
Theres too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
Ooh superman where are you now
When everythings gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.
This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But theres not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -
I wont be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
Were not just making promises
That we know, well never keep.
Too many men
Theres too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

You"ll be a woman
Urge Overkill
Girl, you"ll be a woman... soon
I love you so much, can"t count all the ways
I"ve died for you girl and all they can say is
"He"s not your kind"
They never get tired of putting me down
And I"ll never know when I come around
What I"m gonna find
Don"t let them make up your mind.
Don"t you know...
Girl, you"ll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you"ll be a woman soon,
Soon, you"ll need a man
I"ve been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they"re saying girl it cuts like a knife
"The boy"s no good"
Well I"ve finally found what I"m a looking for
But if they get their chance they"ll end it for sure
Surely would
Baby I"ve done all I could
Now it"s up to you...
Girl, you"ll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you"ll be a woman soon,
Soon, you"ll need a man
Girl, you"ll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you"ll be a woman soon,
Soon but soon, you"ll need a man

Poor misguided fool
Starsailor
As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call
When you"re so sensitive
Its a long way to fall
Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you"re all alone
And nobody cares
You"re just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view
Whenever you reach for me
I"ll be your guide
Whenever you need someone
To keep it inside
Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you"re all alone
And nobody cares
You"re just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view
I"ll be your guide in the morning
You cover up bullet holes
(Break)
As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call
When you"re so sensitive
Its a long way to fall
You"re just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

Tears of the Dragon
Bruce Dickinson
For too long now, there were secrets in my mind
For too long now, there were things I should have said
In the darkness...i was stumbling for the door
To find a reason - to find the time, the place, the hour
Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building, and I cant stay away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Where I was, I had wings that couldnt fly
Where I was, I had tears I couldnt cry
My emotions frozen in an icy lake
I couldnt feel them until the ice began to break
I have no power over this, you know Im afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, Im slipping away...
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Slowly I awake, slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, Im slipping away...
I throw (I throw)
Myself (myself)
Into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (to face)
The fear (the fear)
I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me

Cry
James Blunt
I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I"m a friend.
I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover"s final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I"ll cry on your shoulder.
You"re a friend.
You and I have been through many things.
I"ll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn"t cry for anything,
But don"t go tearing your life apart.
I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I"m a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I"m a friend.
