The group sings in a old Achkaerin dialect[2] this method of performance has won them many fans. They are managed by Kanata Saki (pictured below).

Lyrics
Even if you reach out your hands You won’t be able to reach it yet All of our dreams Lie much farther away
The stars in the night sky Are billions of light years away They shine beyond the darkness
I will speak of hope As passionately as a nameless poet When your life darkens with tears Rather than seeking comfort Will you speak of the brightening sky?
Even if you search for love You won’t find it right away Begin with yourself And love somebody else
This wide universe Is guided by fate Only a single light can be seen
I will speak of hope As deeply as an elder seaman When something hurts you Rather than tending to the wound I will guide you to the sunrise
The truth is that we all give up Just to take the easy way out But even so, our dreams Will never forsake us
I will speak of hope As passionately as a nameless poet When you are unable to find the answer As you continue to walk I will speak of hope And just like a nameless soldier Someday my dreams will fuel my life

Lyrics
All the experiences you made until yesterday And your knowledge are only a burden The wind will always pass by And leave nothing behind
Look for a new road! Don’t open someone else’s map! When you raise your eyes that were looking at the ground you’ll become zero
Are we dreaming? Are we believing in future? Afraid of nothing, careless of what’s our place As reckless as we are Are we dreaming now? We should be as brand new as a child… Let’s tear off the chains that controlled us Change your mind Change your mind We don’t need to know anything Beginner!
Adults failed and felt ashamed And suffering has become their trauma Thinking they don’t want to feel such pain again They have become smart
Challenges are laughed upon What are you protecting with your silly calculations In order to avoid risks? Source: LYBIO.net
Are we alive? Do we want to be alive tomorrow? We pretend we understand, we feign a knowing look While we haven’t dreamed in a long while Yeah, are we alive? Aren’t we wasting our life? Feel now the rhythm pulsing through your veins!
Stand up! Together! Remember the day you were born! Everyone’s a beginner! Stand up! Right away! It won’t go well Easily from the beginning Stand up! Together! You just need to go back to the beginning A beginner again Stand up! Right away! Be defiant, be defiant It will happen somehow Tear away the old page Come on, let’s begin! We can be reborn all the time
Are we dreaming? Are we believing in future? Afraid of nothing, careless of what’s our place As reckless as we are Are we dreaming now? We should be as brand new as a child… Let’s tear off the chains that controlled us
I can’t do anything I can’t do it well And so? We’re still young I can’t do anything I can’t do it right away That’s why we have possibilities
The rain has stopped The wind has stopped A light we’ve never seen before Is shining Now’s the time
You are a reborn beginner!

Lyrics
AKB–! 48!
Move forward! (Got it!) Don’t stop! (Got it!) Walk the road of hope To the place where the sun rises!
A river! River! River! Blocking your way A river in your way! A river! River! River! Of fate A river that tests you!
Cast aside your doubts! Show some guts! Don’t hesitate! Take a step Right now! Believe yourself!
Forward, forward! Go straight forward! Cross the river!! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Dreams always Seem far away They feel out of your reach Pick up One of the stones at your feet And throw it With all your might!
There’s a river Running before your eyes A big, wide river Even if it’s deep and dark Even if the current is fast You don’t need to be afraid It may be far away But, yes, there’s a bank on the other side Have more faith in yourself
Swim with all your might Through the dark Don’t look back! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
When you stretch out your hand You’ll find your future there Don’t give up, thinking you can’t reach it The stone you threw Will make your dream come true You won’t even hear it land
There’s a river Running in your heart too The river of hard times Even if things don’t go well Even if you drown sometimes Just try again Don’t give up There’ll be a bank You’re sure to get there someday
Get over it! River!
Ah-ah-ah-ah- Don’t make excuses to yourself! Ah-ah-ah-ah- You won’t know until you try! Ah-ah-ah-ah- Nothing for it but to go straight forward!
Keep on walking Forever, forever, forever Down the road you’ve chosen!
There’s a river Running before your eyes A big, wide river Even if it’s deep and dark Even if the current is fast You don’t need to be afraid It may be far away But, yes, there’s a bank on the other side Have more faith in yourself
There’s a river Running in your heart too A river of sweat and tears! Even if you fail Even if you’re swept away Just start over Never say die Hang onto your dreams Until the day your wishes come true
Cross the river! You can do it!

Lyrics
I want you! I need you! I love you! The blaring music Playing in my head Is on heavy rotation
The words “I love you” dance Like popcorn Popping Just thinking Of your face and voice Makes me go crazy
I’m so lucky To get to feel like this
I want you! I need you! I love you! I got to meet you As the distance between us shrinks rapidly I’m in high spirits to the max I want you! I need you! I love you! The love that’s constantly overflowing In my heart Is on heavy rotation
How many times Does each person fall in love In their life? If I can have Just one unforgettable love I’ll be satisfied
Does everyone burst into bloom When they feel that excitement?
I feel you! I touch you! I hold you! My imagination Is rapidly growing In my dreams I feel you! I touch you! I hold you! I want you to tell me resoundingly About this love Heavy rotation
Just like That favourite song That I listened to all the time I’m requesting nothing but you 24 hours a day Over and over again
I want you! I need you! I love you! I got to meet you As the distance between us shrinks rapidly I’m in high spirits to the max I want you! I need you! I love you! The love that’s constantly overflowing In my heart Is on heavy rotation

Lyrics
In a corner of this world Like a mirage One day the field of our dreams Was suddenly born
We changed into our jerseys And started our lessons We opened up our own way And cultivated our future
No one had any expectation over us We were just twentytwo seeds Until the day We would all bloom
We are the Team A! We are the pioneers March on, Team A We have to believe Come on, let's bet on ourselves We have nothing to lose We are the Team A! We are the pioneers March on, Team A Let our sweat flow Now everything will begin Let's remember Once again How earnest we were
Everyone laughed at us Saying it was impossible But only seven people Watched over us
We couldn't retreat We had no choice but do it We didn't have time to cry Until the day when our efforts gave fruits
Just like one becomes strong When he's hit by wind and rain, As time passed, All of us turned into one
We are the Team A! The first try Go, Team A Never give up Come on, we have to shape it We have our pride We are the Team A! The first try Go, Team A Face forwards We have to make it with our obstinacy And set a precedent of success For who comes after us
We are the Team A! We are the pioneers March on, Team A We have to believe Come on, let's bet on ourselves We have nothing to lose We are the Team A! We are the pioneers March on, Team A Let our sweat flow Now everything will begin Let's remember once again How earnest we were

Lyrics
If you’re happy Then I pray forever and ever and ever That this time lasts I’ll protect this flower Even if it’s blown in the wind
Love is a voice That needs no reply It’s something you just give
Smile Under the sun Sing! Dance! Freely!
Because I love you I’ll always be here I don’t mind if I’m lost in the crowd And you can’t see me Because I love you Just the fact that I met you Fills me With a warm feeling
When you’re stressed I’ll just listen silently And hold an umbrella over you to keep the rain off you And wipe away your tears With a finger you can’t see...
Love is a ripple That spreads quietly And in the centre is you
Don’t give in To the sadness Look up at the sky Of your dreams!
Every time I think of you I believe that our chance meeting Was a miracle That happens once in a lifetime Every time I think of you I thank God After an eternity You’ll look my way
Because I love you I’ll always be here I don’t mind if I’m lost in the crowd And you can’t see me Because I love you Just the fact that I met you Fills me With a warm feeling After an eternity

Lyrics
I roll up my shirt sleeves Earlier than the calendar And my arms feel the signs That the sun is coming closer
I want to meet you At the water’s edge Of the blue sea Splashing with our bare feet
Your ponytail (swishing) In the wind You run (I run) On the sand Your ponytail (swishing) I looked around To see your smile My summer is beginning
The sun shone into the classroom Turning up the heat in my dreams When I look at you in front and to the side of me My heart starts to ache
I can’t tell you I love you I whisper how I feel To your back
Your ponytail (makes me sad) In my dreams I have all of you (all of me) To myself Your ponytail (makes me sad) Unrequited love When our eyes meet We’re just friends now
Your long hair tied back In a polka-dot scrunchie I can’t catch The tail of love When I touch it, it just disappears Like an illusion
(Don’t undo) your ponytail We’re running You’re you (I’m me) The same as always (Don’t undo) your ponytail You’ll always be A young girl Playing around

Lyrics
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
In this vacuum of a land completely changed we lost our words and stood still What should we start on first? Searching for the light in the midst of despair
If there is a God somewhere, please break open a new world from this land once more
Even so, the wind blows towards the future Feel the breath of life on your cheek Even so, I will strongly live on Now, shall we start by laying down a single brick?
The wound of our memories have become scars Within the pain, kindness is born Who should I embrace first? Let's talk about our dreams while in our warmth
As much as the fallen tears, I want to hold up something; I won't become a bystander
Even so, love continues towards the future People are looking for it Even so, I will take one step forward Shall we begin by picking up the hope that we had forgotten?
Even so, the wind blows towards the future You should feel it if you close your eyes The wind definitely blows towards the future Even if you've lost everything and are lost I definitely exist here Remove the rubble blocking your way and live for today
Even if the wind were to stop there is no world where the wind has disappeared No matter what, as if you are breathing, even if the day 'today' is painful..
Shall we start with what we can do?

Lyrics
Biking (biking) Down the usual road (down the usual road) Standing up to pedal My sweat shimmers In the September breeze
When I couldn’t see you (when I couldn’t see you) In the holidays (in the holidays) I started To worry about you
I thought We were just friends But I want to see you You Right now
Maybe Maybe Maybe I like you There isn’t a single cloud In the blue sky Maybe Maybe Maybe I like you Though I know That it’s love I’m making excuses, maybe
At the classroom window (at the classroom window) The curtains ruffle (the curtains ruffle) Now that it’s Term 2 Something about your profile Seems grown-up
“How did you spend (how did you spend) Your holidays? (Your holidays?)” Our conversation Seems to become awkward...
You’ve cut your hair, haven’t you? So subtly you can’t tell I’m watching you You From a distance
Maybe Maybe I’m not brave enough More like probably Something more certain Maybe Maybe I’m not brave enough I don’t mind if my love Stays unrequited I’m making excuses, maybe
I love you It’s bittersweet I can’t do anything about it I love you It’s bittersweet It’s painful for me I love you, I love you, I love you Actually, I love You
Maybe Maybe I’m not brave enough More like probably Something more certain Maybe Maybe I’m not brave enough I don’t mind if my love Stays unrequited I’m making excuses, maybe

Lyrics
A spring breeze Comes from somewhere Changing the colours Of this familiar road
This season Puts the happiness and sadness in the past And we start walking A new road
The cherry blossoms are a goodbye bookmark I see my friends’ faces As they waved lightly The cherry blossoms are a bookmark of tears I pray that I’ll never forget This precious time...
When I look up at the sky Its vastness Showed me how endlessly long This road is
Whether it’s a sunny day or a rainy one Tomorrow will come So I’ll smile As I take a step
The cherry blossoms are a future bookmark I pray that I’ll remember The dreams I had one day... The cherry blossoms are a bookmark of hope Instead of giving up I’ll open to this page
The cherry blossoms Are a bookmark in my heart My youth was a dazzling sun That shone so bright through the trees The cherry blossoms are a bookmark of that day Nobody will forget The dreams that were in full bloom

CHERRY CHERRY BOY CHERRY CHERRY GIRL You run CHERRY CHERRY BOY CHERRY CHERRY GIRL Splashing the water
On the white sandy beach with these embroidered sandals, The crashing waves carry the summer
If it's a barefoot love It can go anywhere I longed for it At seventeen
CHERRY CHERRY BOY CHERRY CHERRY GIRL I run away CHERRY CHERRY BOY CHERRY CHERRY GIRL Chase after me!
The round sun burns hotly At that moment, an extend hand holds another hand
My first kiss Was sweet and sour I didn't know The sea shore's kiss
CHERRY CHERRY BOY CHERRY CHERRY GIRL I close my eyes CHERRY CHERRY BOY CHERRY CHERRY GIRL Amidst the sea breeze
In the chest of your T-shirt While I buried my face, I was listening To you like the sea
CHERRY CHERRY BOY CHERRY CHERRY GIRL I run away CHERRY CHERRY BOY CHERRY CHERRY GIRL Chase after me!

Lyrics
The shining stars in the night sky Are millions of light years away Even if deep despair Gives rise to infinite blackness The truth will live on Entrusted to the river of time That light's message Who will receive it?
People are born And people die Our bodies perish From the ashes What is reborn Is passion For the next generation
Dreams are reincarnation Over and over Like déjà vu, a distant memory Just like reincarnation Now I'm again Unconciously Running off to somewhere After how many tears will I give up? After how many lives will my wish be granted?
Inside that endless circle Is the road our predecessors walked Somewhere in the vast universe A path is left behind If I close my eyes and try to remember I can see nostalgic scenery The sky that the me who is not me Gazed up at in the end
People love People are loved I'll look for the lost feelings Once more With these hands I want to take them back from the depths of the mud
Love is reincarnation Someday I will feel pain for the days I've forgotten Surely it's reincarnation The things that have come back to me Are things I should be experiencing for the first time Yet I know them all After how many goodbyes will I turn my back? After how many meetings will we come together?
It's my generation Dreams are reincarnation Over and over Like déjà vu, a distant memory Just like reincarnation Now I'm again Unconciously Running off to somewhere After how many tears will I give up? After how many lives will my wish be granted?

Lyrics
The wish you made one day Lies sleeping in the earth At the promised time A sprout of hope will push forth
At the time we met Your dream was but a seed When enough time passes Perhaps it will bloom into a flower
I will offer you these tears So you can shine even brighter I've always been watching over you From the silent sky And now I will become the rain
Gazing up at the sun Is a small happiness Swelling into expectations That future is a bud
At times when your heart dries up When you long for someone's love And the wind of sadness blows Until the day the flower withers
I will offer you these tears Even if you don't notice me They will be a little warm And somehow nostalgic Yes, I will become the rain
From the corners of my closed eyes Something hot flows down Climbing up to that sky And looking down, I transform it into love
I will offer you these tears So you can shine even brighter I've always been watching over you From the silent sky And now I will become the rain
Ah, I will offer them to you If someone such as I Can even slightly Ease the emptiness in you Then I will become the rain

Lyrics
I'm standing On the stage I longed for Amidst the loud cheers, applause, and enthusiasm With strict lessons, I go beyond my own limits Today, I was accepted as a member The seeds of chance open
While I'm not dancing all by myself, There were days where I'd cry along the road home While I'm singing without thinking, There were days where I lost my confidence Always, my rivals Looked like they were sparkling
The dream is amidst the sweat It's a flower that blooms bit by bit That effort By no means will let me down The dream is amidst the sweat I'm always waiting for it to spout out Until one day, for sure, The wish comes true
The spotlight, Like all of this, is so dazzling Just like the long nights turning to dawn with the morning sun I absolutely don't want to Lose to my seniors We wanted to make our own show
When I was on leave due to injury, There were painful days when I cried There were also days When I lost my balance of school and lessons However, the encore I could hear no matter where
The dream is just ahead of the tears A flower from the smile after the tears stop The bud that did its best will bloom before long The dream is just ahead of the tears Without losing to the driving rain, I'm believing Until my prayer reaches the sky that cleared up
Let's dance Until we drop dead! Let's sing Until we drop dead! Without forgetting Our original goal, We'll give everything we've got! Oh!
The dream is amidst the sweat It's a flower that blooms bit by bit That effort By no means will let me down The dream is amidst the sweat I'm always waiting for it to spout out Until one day, for sure, The wish comes true

Lyrics
I can hear The voice that heeds no master From somewhere in the sky I'm sure It's trying To address someone… The wind that heeds no master now blows From a rift in the clouds, look Light streams through The lost ones Are straining their ears to hear it They turn it into the strength To advance along their own roads
Woo woo woo…
My dreams are too far away I heave a sigh Even when I try my best It seems I'm powerless Heart, don't give in! Faced with a steep slope If I am to have a future I can't turn my back on it
My friend, do you remember? The place we made our promise that day The season's flowers bloom there
I can hear The voice that heeds no master Little by little, the sun Will break up The enveloping darkness For us Masterless, now, in this time We will Move on All people Are weak creatures While searching For a hint of love, we move forward
Woo woo woo…
Was it an illusion? Or was it real? So many words Carried by the wind Without a trace of a person to say them When I close my eyes, I know I'm not alone In awakening
My friend, please answer me You, too, bleed when you're wounded Even so, we live on…
I can hear The voice that heeds no master From somewhere in the sky I'm sure It's trying To address someone… The wind that heeds no master now blows From a rift in the clouds, look Light streams through The lost ones Are straining their ears to hear it They turn it into the strength To advance along their own roads
My friend, do you remember? The sunset we saw together one day… Even now, I can't forget it
I can hear The voice that heeds no master Little by little, the sun Will break up The enveloping darkness For us Masterless, now, in this time We will Move on All people Are weak creatures While searching For a hint of love, we move forward
Woo woo woo…

Lyrics
The sun is waiting at the breezy station The railway of cloud crosses the sky Glancing at my watch I quietly sighed
Are you being held back by a "don't go"? Can you abandon love?
The rainbow train is running according to schedule Departing towards our dreams I want to set off on a journey with you Come, let's throw away everything!
When living on the ground We can't see anything but what's right in front of us While aiming for something far beyond here We'll realize "The world is really huge, isn't it?"
Don't you want to try going towards the future? Are you going to cling to the past?
Don't miss the rainbow train No one is going to let us know when the next one will come by When we've finally obtained something by our own hands We might someday return here
Now, you made it here on time As long as we start running, something will begin A seven-colored bridge
The rainbow train is running according to schedule Departing towards our dreams I want to set off on a journey with you Come, let's throw away everything!

Hear the rumble Hear my voice
Silent I can’t wait here silent Gotta make a change And make some noise

Trouble baby I’m in throuble Everytime I look into your eyes Save me oh I’m gonna save me Faraway from all the crazy lies

Lyrics
Sitting here alone with my memories Staring at a picture of you and me They say I look fine but if walls could talk They'd tell you all about how much I break apart I think we were right but we did it wrong Ever since you left me I just can't go on No, I can't even read the news today 'Cause everything reminds me of yesterday
Empty room Empty heart Since you've been gone I must move on Empty room
I never realised it could make me cry To hear the children laugh and play outside A walk in the park shouldn't be that bad But everything without you seems to make me sad I thought we were good, we were meant to be The way it turned out is still a mystery No, I can't even read the news today Reminds me of yesterday
Empty room Empty heart Since you've been gone I must move on Empty space Lonely days My life goes on Just like the moon
And to sail across the sky alone Forever trying to find its home I can't believe I have to say I don't know where you are today
Empty room Empty heart Since you've been gone I must move on Empty space Lonely days My life goes on Just like the moon Empty room Empty room

Heart (of me), Don't make a fool (of me) You fall (in love) To fast and foolishly There's no wisdom in the way... You feel
Heart (slow down), It's not the time (right now) Take (your time) Until there is no doubt Give me half a chance to know... If it's real
Your sense of wrong and right... Does not exist New love walks by... You can't resist
We battle every time, You always win But heart of me... This time you must give in
Heart (of me), Don't drag me through (the pain) Sleepless nights and tears that fall like rain Let my mind catch up with you... Don't be a fool
Your sense of wrong and right... Does not exist New love walks by... You can't resist
We battle every time, You always win But heart of me... This time you must give in
I need you and you need me But I can sense your animosity All you care and think and feel leads back to love
Your sense of wrong and right Does not exist New love walks by, You can't resist
We battle every time, You always win! But heart of me, This time I beg you to give in!
Oh oh oooh!
Consider this - Try to resist, His fatal kiss. I'm down here on my knees, please hear my plea!
But heart of me, I beg you to give in I beg you to give in...

Say, isn't this something? You don't need to read between the lines. I know it's hard to believe it, But everything I say is meant for you. The dreams that I've been chasing has finally come true. It's you. Baby, it's you.
Cause I can catch the moon, when you're around. And I don't even care about the clouds. And just when I was reaching for the sky, I knew at once what love can do, the world just turned beacuse of you. Hey, isn't this something? To know that forever is here to stay. The dreams that I've been chasing, has finally come true. Itґs you. Oh baby, it's you.
Cause I can catch the moon, when you're around. And I don't even care about the clouds. And just when I was reaching for the sky, I knew at once what love can do, the world just turned beacuse of you. I can catch the moon when you're around. And I don't even care about the clouds. And just when I was reaching for the sky, I knew at once what love can do, the world just turned beacuse of you.
Say, isn't this something? That you don't need to read between the lines.

Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room The smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight, people Livin' just to find emotion Hidin' somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill Everybody wants a thrill Payin' anythin' to roll the dice Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose Some are born to sing the blues And now the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight, people Livin' just to find emotion Hidin' somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlight, people
Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlight, people
Don't stop!

Lyrics
Can anybody find me somebody to love? Each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord what you're doing to me I have spent all my years in believing you But I just can't get no relief, Lord! Somebody, somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life I work till I ache my bones At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own - I get down on my knees And I start to pray Till the tears run down from my eyes Lord - somebody - somebody Can anybody find me - somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday - I try and I try and I try - But everybody wants to put me down They say I'm goin' crazy They say I got a lot of water in my brain Got no common sense I got nobody left to believe Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord Somebody - somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm I just keep losing my beat I'm ok, I'm alright Ain't gonna face no defeat I just gotta get out of this prison cell Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Lyrics
Highway run into the midnight sun Wheels go round and round You're on my mind
Restless hearts sleep alone tonight Sending all my love along the wire
They say that the road ain't no place to start a family Right down the line it's been you and me And loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, boy, you stand by me I'm forever yours Faithfully
Circus life under the big top world We all need the clowns to make us smile
Through space and time Always another show Wondering where I am lost without you
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me! I'm forever yours Faithfully
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh Faithfully I'm still yours I'm still yours I'm still yours Faithfully

Name: The Only Exception Awards: Further information:
Lyrics
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry And curse at the wind. He broke his own heart and I watched As he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore That she would never let herself forget. And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling, You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul That love never lasts. And we've got to find other ways to make it alone. Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable distance. And up until now I have sworn to myself That I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well you are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.
I've got a tight grip on reality, But I can't let go of what's in front of me here. I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up. Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream. Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.
You are the only exception. [4x]
You are the only exception. [4x]
And I'm on my way to believing. Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

Can't count the years on one hand That we've been together I need the other one to hold you Make you feel, make you feel better
It's not a walk in the park To love each other But when our fingers interlock, Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it 'Cause after all this time I'm still into you
I should be over all the butterflies But I'm into you (I'm into you) And baby even on our worst nights I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far 'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you
Recount the night that I first met your mother And on the drive back to my house I told you that, I told you that I loved ya
You felt the weight of the world Fall off your shoulder And to your favorite song We sang along to the start of forever And after all this time I'm still into you
I should be over all the butterflies But I'm into you (I'm into you) And baby even on our worst nights I'm into you (I'm into you) Let 'em wonder how we got this far 'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you

No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore. It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score. And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can't decide You have made it harder just to go on And why, all the possibilities, well I was wrong
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa. That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa. I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating. And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here. 'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here. I still try, holding onto silly things, I never learn Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa. That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa. I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating) And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Pain make your way to me, to me. And I'll always be just so inviting. If I ever start to think straight, This heart will start a riot in me, Let's start, start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much? Oh why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa! That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa. That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa. Now I can't trust myself with anything but this, And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Lyrics
Well she lives in a fairy tale Somewhere too far for us to find Forgotten the taste and smell Of a world that she's left behind It's all about the exposure the lens I told her The angles are all wrong now She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground When your head's in the clouds Well go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle Go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
So one day he found her crying Coiled up on the dirty ground Her prince finally came to save her And the rest you can figure out But it was a trick And the clock struck twelve Well make sure to build your heart brick by boring brick Or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle Go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole We'll bury the castle, bury the castle
Oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa
Well you built up a world of magic Because your real life is tragic Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real You can't hold it in your hand You can't feel it with your heart And I won't believe it But if it's true You can see it with your eyes Oh, even in the dark And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle Go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle

Lyrics
Can't make my own decisions Or make any with precision Well maybe you should tie me up So I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I've been changing That I'm not just simply aging Yeah how could that be logical? Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
You don't have to believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror
If God's the game that you're playing Well we must get more acquainted Because it has to be so lonely To be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion But it's one that I believe in You don't deserve a point of view If the only thing you see is you
You don't have to believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror
This is the last second chance (I'll point you to the mirror) I'm half as good as it gets (I'll point you to the mirror) I'm on both sides of the fence (I'll point you to the mirror) Without a hint of regret I'll hold you to it
I know you don't believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror
I know you won't believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror

Cause I fear I might break and I fear I can't take it Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty

Now that I'm losing hope And there's nothing else to show For all of the days that we spent Carried away from home
Some things I'll never know And I had to let them go I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure It's getting closer now We're better off without you I can feel the pressure It's getting closer now We're better off without you
Without you
Some things I'll never know And I had to let them go Some things I'll never know And I had to let them go I'm sitting all alone feeling empty

Cause I've seen love die Way too many times When it deserved to be alive (When it deserved to be alive) I've seen you cry Way too many times When you deserve to be alive, alive
So you give up every chance you get Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show me love, but you don't know what love is.
So are you listening? So are you watching me?
Well I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault That no one cares to talk about it, Talk about it
Cause I've seen love die Way too many times When it deserved to be alive (When it deserved to be alive) I've seen you cry Way too many times When you deserve to be alive, alive
These scars, they will not fade away.
No one cares to talk about it, talk about it

It takes some time to let you go and it shows.

Now we can follow you back home but we won't. Is this what you had waited for? Just to be alone?
It takes some time to let you go and it shows.
Cause all we know is falling, it falls. Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all.
You never, you never said This wasn't what you wanted, was it? Was it?
This isn't what you wanted. This isn't what you wanted.
Cause all we know is falling, it falls. Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all.

(hit that, hit that snare)
I'm in the business of misery, Let's take it from the top. She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock. It's a matter of time before we all run out, When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.
I waited eight long months, She finally set him free. I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me. Two weeks we caught on fire, She's got it out for me, But I wear the biggest smile.
Whoa, I never meant to brag. But I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now. But God does it feel so good, 'Cause I got him where I want him now. And if you could then you know you would. 'Cause God it just feels so... It just feels so good.
Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change. Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change. And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged. I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way. Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you. Looking as innocent as possible to get to who, They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right. Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!
Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now. But God does it feel so good, 'Cause I got him where I want him right now. And if you could then you know you would. 'Cause God it just feels so... It just feels so good.
I watched his wildest dreams come true Not one of them involving you Just watch my wildest dreams come true Not one of them involving...
Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now. But God does it feel so good, 'Cause I got him where I want him now. And if you could then you know you would. 'Cause God it just feels so... It just feels so good.

Lyrics
It's a god-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling "No" And her daddy has told her to go But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore For she's lived it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on
[CHORUS] Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars?
It's on Amerika's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again See the mice in their million hordes From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on
[CHORUS] Dring-dring-dring...... [Mind the phone]

Lyrics
Ground Control to Major Tom Ground Control to Major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom Commencing countdown, engines on Check ignition and may God's love be with you
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.

Lyrics
I, I wish you could swim Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together We can beat them, for ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can be Heroes, just for one day We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember) Standing, by the wall (by the wall) And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads) And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall) And the shame was on the other side Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day
Name: The Jean Genie Awards: Further information:
Lyrics
A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters Talking bout Monroe and walking on Snow White 19 New York's a go-go 19 and everything tastes right Poor little Greenie
[CHORUS] The Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls Jean Genie let yourself go!
Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile She loves him, she loves him but just for a short while She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear Poor little Greenie
[CHORUS]
He's so simple minded he can't drive his module He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule Loves to be loved, loves to be loved
[CHORUS (x2)]

Lyrics
Do you remember a guy that's been In such an early song I've heard a rumour from Ground Control Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man "I'm happy, hope you're happy too I've loved all I've needed to love Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing
[CHORUS] Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's 4 a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight But the little green wheels are following me Oh no, not again I'm stuck with a valuable friend "I'm happy, hope you're happy too" One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things I never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, Want an axe to break the ice Wanna come down right now
[CHORUS]
My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Name: Starman Awards: Further information:
Lyrics
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
[CHORUS] There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you Hey, that's far out so you heard him too! Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
