Al Stewart - Palace of Versailles
Intro
The wands of smoke are rising from the walls of the Bastille and through the streets of Paris runs a sense of the unreal. The Kings have all departed there servants are nowhere we burned out all their mansions in the name of Robespierre
And still we wait to see the day begin Our time is wasting in the wind Wondering why Wondering why, it echoes Through the lonely palace of Versailles
Inside the midnight councils the lamps are burning low Oh you sit and talk all through the night but there's just no place to go And Bonaparte is coming with his army from the south Marat your days are numbered and we live hand to mouth
While we wait to see the day begin Our time is wasting in the wind Wondering why Wondering why, it echoes Through the lonely palace of Versailles
The ghost of revolution still prowls the Paris streets Down all the restless centuries it wonders incomplete It speaks inside the cheap red wine of cafe summer nights Its red and amber voices call the cars at traffic lights
Why do you wait wait to see the day begin Your time is wasting in the wind Wondering why Wondering why, it echoes Through the lonely palace of Versailles Wondering why, it echoes Through the lonely palace of Versailles
Adele - Someone like you
Intro
I heard That you're settled down That youFound a girl And you'reMarried nowI heard That your dreams came true I guess shegave you things I didn'tgive to youOld friend, why are you so shy? It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, But I couldn't stay away,I couldn't fight it, I had hoped you'd see my face, And that you'd bereminded that for meit isn't over,
Never mind, I'llfind someone like you, I wishnothing but the best for you, too, Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said, "Sometimes itlasts in love, But sometimes it hurts instead," "Sometimes itlasts in love, But sometimes it hurts instead,"
You know how the time flies, Onlyyesterday was thetime of our lives, We wereborn and raised in a summer haze, Boundby the surprise of our glory days,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, But I couldn't stay away,I couldn't fight it, I had hoped you'd see my face, And that you'd bereminded that for meit isn't over,
Never mind, I'llfind someone like you, I wishnothing but the best for you, too, Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said, "Sometimes itlasts in love, But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nothing compares, No worries or cares, Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made, Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'llfind someone like you, I wishnothing but the best for you, too, Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said, "Sometimes itlasts in love, But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Never mind, I'llfind someone like you, I wishnothing but the best for you, too, Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said, "Sometimes itlasts in love, But sometimes it hurts instead," "Sometimes itlasts in love, But sometimes it hurts instead," "Sometimes itlasts in love, But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Abba - The day before you came
I must have left my house at eight because I always do My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due. I must have read the morning paper going into town And having gotten through the editorial no doubt I must have frowned. I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine with letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed. I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so The usual place the usual bunch And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained the day before you came.
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two and at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away. At five I must have left there's no exception to the rule A matter of routine I've done it ever since I finished school. The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then, Oh yes I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame The day before you came
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV, there's not I think a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see. I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came
And turning out the light I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came.

Abba - The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk About the things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play
The winner takes it all The loser standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny
I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear . The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain Why should I complain.
But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you ? Does it feel the same When she calls your name ? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low. The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see
The winner takes it allThe winner takes itall
