[Me] Friday night, I had a few There she was, out of the blue Thunderstruck, nailed to the floor I couldn’t move, couldn’t talk…anymore [Love] Of all these guys it’s you she desires Secretly her heart is on fire Waiting for you to ask her to dance Go ahead, make your move…now’s your chance [Passion] Do it right, do it right, we ain’t got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don’t mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! [Me] There I was, nervous and shy Struck with awe as I caught her eye I mustered up courage and walked her way Figuring out what to do…what to say [Love] Her heart sings as she sees you come near The music fades, the crowd disappears She weeps in silence as you pass her by And she’s wondering why…oh why (Chorus – Passion and Pride) [Agony] Remember your father, well you’re just like him Nothing but violence and fury within Remember your mother, so lonely and sad This will be her fate if you treat her as bad [Fear] You’re afraid she might turn you down All your hopes dashed to the ground Nobody loved you, nobody will Why should you even try…but still… [Me] Friday night, I had a few [Wife] There was no need to talk [Me] There she was, out of the blue [Wife] We just started to walk [Me] Hand in hand, we took the floor [Wife] And we danced, and we danced, and we danced [Me] I could move, I could talk…even more… (Chorus – Passion and Pride) (Agony)

[Me] I can't move, I can't feel my body I don't remember anything What place is this? How did I get here? I don't understand what's happening Am I alone? [Fear] You've been deserted, everyone has left you You know it's always been that way Those frantic years, the people you've neglected Now the time has come to pay You’re alone No one here is dancing to your tune [Me] Is this a dream or is it real? [Reason] Sometimes the dream becomes reality [Me] But I don't know what to feel [Reason] Then I will guide you through this haze [Me] But who are you? Why are you here? [Reason] I am you and you are all of us [Me] I can't think, my mind ain't clear [Reason] Then I will free you from this maze [Passion CHORUS] Can't you feel it burn deep down inside? Won’t you ever learn? Don’t try to hide Can’t you feel that fire scorching you soul? A wounded man’s desire out of control [Pride CHORUS] I can't believe you're giving up - That’s not your way I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay You always had complete control, never thinking twice You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice [Me] You are delusions of my mind [Reason] And so we are, we're all a part of you [Me] Am I a part of some design? [Reason] The one design is in your head [Me] How can it be? You look so real [Reason] We are as real as you imagine us [Me] I can touch you, I can feel [Reason] Then take my hand and follow me [Passion CHORUS] [Pride CHORUS] [Love] Close your eyes, listen to your heart beat Surrender to its soothing pulse Silence the cries, gentle and carefree Good or bad, true or false You're not alone You'll find me here whenever they oppose you I am the strongest of them all No need to fear these feelings that enclose you I’m here to catch you when you fall You're not alone I am here dancing to your tune [Passion CHORUS] [Pride CHORUS] I can’t believe! No! To make them pay! No, never twice!

Close the doors, put out the light You know they won't be home tonight The snow falls hard and don't you know The winds of Thor are blowing cold They're wearing steel that's bright and true They carry news that must get through They choose the path where no-one goes They hold no quarter, They hold no quarter. Oh... Walking side by side with death The devil mocks their every step The snow drives back the foot that's slow The dogs of doom are howling more They carry news that must get through To build a dream for me and you They choose the path that no one goes They hold no quarter, They ask no quarter, They hold no quarter, They ask no quarter...they think about no quarter...With no quarter quarter. Oh No...

Ground Control to Major Tom Ground Control to Major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine Eight, Seven, Six) Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three, Two) Check ignition and may God's love be with you (One, Liftoff) This is Ground Control to Major Tom You've really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare This is Major Tom to Ground Control I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today For here Am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still And I think my spaceship knows which way to go Tell my wife I love her very much... she knows Ground Control to Major Tom Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you.... Here am I floating round my tin can Far above the moon Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do.
