Standing With You - Guy Sebastian

The more I tell you you can do this

The more you tell yourself you're useless

Any advice right now is fruitless

You're somewhere only you can go

I won't pretend to know, so


Instead of telling you you'll be alright

I'm just gon' be that someone by your side

Yeah let me be that distant satellite

A constant in the sky


'Cause I'm standing with you tonight

Yeah I will be that voice in your ear

Quietly destroying your fear

You won't even know that I'm here

But I'm standing with you tonight

Oh I will be the pill for your pain

Until the clouds have run out of rain

Close enough but just out of sight

I'm standing with you tonight


Your head is full and yet it's hollow

Don't even think about tomorrow

So if you let me I will follow

Oh if you're gonna go

At least you're gonna know


Instead of telling you you'll be alright

I'm just gon' be that someone by your side

Oh let me be that distant satellite

A constant in the sky


I'm standing with you tonight

Yeah I will be that voice in your ear

Quietly destroying your fear

You won't even know that I'm here

But I'm standing with you tonight

Oh I will be the pill for your pain

Until the clouds have run out of rain

Close enough but just out of sight

I'm standing with you


I know I may not say the right thing

Let me tell you one thing

Yeah 'cause there is one thing

You're wrong about

This world would not be a better place

I don't wanna lose you now


Yeah I will be that voice in your ear

Quietly destroying your fear

Oh you won't even know that I'm here

I'm standing with you tonight

Oh I will be the pill for your pain

Until the clouds have run out of rain

Close enough but just out of sight

I'm standing with you tonight

Oh tonight

I'm standing with you tonight

I'm standing with you tonight.


Telephones - Vacations

Rise with the morning

You call to me

My thoughts are crawling

You're all I see


I wish I could live without you

But you're a part of me

Wherever I go

You'll always be next to me


Fall into the night

As I gaze into you

Shine so bright

It's all I do


I wish I could live without you

But you're a part of me

Wherever I go

You'll always be next to me


You'll always be next to me

You'll always be next to me

You'll always be next to me

You'll always be next to me


Flame Trees - Cold Chisel

Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass me by

And I'm just savouring familiar sights

We share some history, this town and I

And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her

Try to book a room and stay tonight


Number one is to find some friends to say "you're doing well"

After all this time you boys look just the same

Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels

Settle in to play "do you remember so and so?

Number three is never say her name


Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town

There's no change, there's no pace Everything within its place

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around


But oh who needs that sentiment, anyway

Takes more than just a memory to make me cry

And I'm happy just to sit here a table with old friends

And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies


And there's a girl falling in love near where the pianola stands

With a young local factory auto worker just holding hands

And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay


Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field

In our day


Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town

There's no change, there's no pace

Everything within its place

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around


Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town

There's no change, there's no pace

Everything within its place

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around


She Looks So Perfect - 5SOS

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey


Simmer down, simmer down

They say we're too young nowTo amount to anything else

But look around

We've worked too damn hard for this

Just to give it up now

If you don't swim, you'll drown

But don't move, honey


You look so perfect standing there

When I look I see you everywhere

And I know now that I'm so down

Your lipstick stain is a work of art

I got your name tattooed in an arrowed heart

And I know now that I'm so down, hey


Hey, hey, hey, hey


Let's get out, let's get out

'Cause this deadbeat town's only here just to keep us down

While I was out

I found myself alone just thinking

If I showed up with a plane ticket

And a shiny diamond ring with your name on it

Would you wanna run away too?'

Cause all I really want is you


She looks so perfect standing there

When I look I see you everywhere.

And I know now that I'm so down

I made a mixtape straight out of '94

You’ve got your favourite sneakers kicked off by the door.

And I know now that I'm so down, hey


Hey, hey, hey, hey


You look so perfect standing there

When I look I see you everywhere

And I know now that I'm so down

Your lipstick shade is a work of artI got your name tattooed in an arrowed heart

And I know now that I'm so down


Hey, hey, hey, hey


You look so perfect standing there

When I look I see you everywhere.

And I know now that I'm so down, hey

Your lipstick shade is a work of art

I got your name tattooed in an arrowed heart

And I know now that I'm so down


This City - Sam Fischer

I've been seeing lonely people in crowded rooms

Covering their old heartbreaks with new tattoos

It's all about smoke screens and cigarettes

Looking through low lights at silhouettes

But all I see is lonely people in crowded rooms


This city's gonna break my heart

This city's gonna love me then leave me alone

This city's got me chasing stars

It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home

Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?

This city's gonna break my heart

She's always gonna break your heart, oh


I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt

And I remember nights when art didn't feel like work

She wakes up at noon and she's out 'til three

She leaves her perfume all over me

But I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt


Oh, this city's gonna break my heart (it's gonna break my heart)

This city's gonna love me then leave me alone

This city's got me chasing stars (got me chasing stars)

It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home (oh)

Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?

This city's gonna break my heart

She's always gonna break your heart


Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh


She got a hold on me

She got me wrapped 'round her finger

She got a hold on me

She got me wrapped 'round her finger


This city's gonna break my heart (oh, yeah)

This city's gonna love me then leave me alone (it's gonna love me then leave me alone)

This city's got me chasing stars (oh)

It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home

Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?

This city's gonna break my heart (hey, yeah)

She's always gonna break your heart


Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh


This city's gonna break my heart, hey

She's always gonna break your heart


Clementine - Grentperez

I've been changin'

But the burnin' stays the same

What can I do to tame the heat of this fire?

Forever savin'

The remnants of a love

Like ancient stories told from another time

Eternally painted on my mind

Mmm


Color it gray

Until I forget you

Like I never met you

My dearest Clementine

Throw it away

But close enough to you

'Cause although I hate you

I will still fall in love, my Clementine

Every time, mmm


And if you're fadin'

Then honey I'll be fadin' too

Darling, I don't even know who I am without you

Forever waitin'

Times never wasted and still

I find myself growin' old over you


You came in a dream

You touched the depths of my mind

Oh, no, no, no


Color it gray

Until I forget you

Like I never met you

My dearest Clementine

Throw it away

But close enough to you

'Cause although I hate you

I will still fall in love, my Clementine

Every time, always


No matter how hard I try

My Clementine, every time

Oh, oh, oh, oh


Color it gray

Until I forget you

Like I never met you

My dearest, my dearest Clementine

Color it gray

Until I forget you

Like I never met you (oh, oh)

My dearest Clementine (my dearest Clementine)

Throw it away

But close enough to you

'Cause although I hate you ('cause although I hate you)

I will still fall in love, my Clementine (I'll still fall in love)

Every time, always


No matter how hard I try

My Clementine, every time

Mmm, mmm 

You're always on my mind


Somebody That I Used To Know - Goyte

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember


You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well, you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over


But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that, though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know


Now you're just somebody that I used to know


Now you're just somebody that I used to know


Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done


And I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know


But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh)

And I don't even need your love (ooh)

But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah)

No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh)

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah)

I guess that I don't need that, though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know


Somebody (I used to know)

Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)

Somebody (I used to know)

Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)

I used to know

That I used to know

I used to know

Somebody


Zebra - John Butler Trio

I could be loud man, I could be silent

I could be young man or I could be old

I could be a gentleman, I could be violent

I could turn hot man or I could be cold

I could be just like the calm before the storm boy,

Waiting for all hell yeah to break loose

I could be innocent or I could be guilty

Doesn't mean that I don't believe in no noose

So I'm singin'


I could be rich like a wandering Gypsy

I could be poor like a fat wallet lost

I could be first man or I could come last

It's not who breaks the ribbon boy it's how you get across

I could be red blue black and white sunset

Or darkest at day boy or brightest at night

I could be the sun boy I could be the moon

I'm made up from the stars boy I'm shining so bright


So I'm singin'


I could be asleep boy or I could be awake

I could be alive and I be the walking dead

I could be ignorant or I could be informed

I could lead my life man or I could be led

I could be anything I put my mind to boy

All I gotta do is give myself half a chance

I can bring love back into my life

And share it with the world if I got some balance


So I'm singin'


Dancing All Alone - Clinton Kane

I was hardly in the back of the bus and I couldn't figure it out

I was nineteen maybe twenty of us

Felt like I could just do without

It's like a bad dream

Tryna keep my eyes shut and I'm starting to doubt

If I'll find lightning in a bottle

'Cause I've never had anyone


So, if I don't stay, will it matter?

'Cause there's no way to break the pattern


And I don't wanna feel alone

My past is not my fault

But my world keeps on breaking

It's always been the same

Half-drunk, friends feeling like strangers

Nothing ever changes

I know I'm forever dancing all alone


I've been running before I knew how to walk, when will I ever stop?

Always five feet too far from the ones who said

They'd love me for who I was

And the silence of the beat of my heart has never been any louder

And it's frightening if I always end up feeling no one's around


So, if I don't stay, will it matter?

'Cause there's no way to break the pattern


And I don't wanna feel alone

My past is not my fault

But my world keeps on breaking

It's always been the same

NOT-drunk, friends feeling like strangers

Nothing ever changes

I know I'm forever dancing all alone


Dancing all alone

Dancing all alone


Back In Black - ACDC

Back in black

I hit the sack

I've been too long, I'm glad to be back

Yes, I'm let loose

From the noose

That's kept me hanging about

I've been looking at the sky

'Cause it's gettin' me high

Forget the hearse 'cause I never die

I got nine lives

Cat's eyes

Abusin' every one of them and running wild


'Cause I'm back

Yes, I'm back

Well, I'm back

Yes, I'm back

Well, I'm back, back

Well, I'm back in black

Yes, I'm back in black


Back in the back

Of a Cadillac

Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack

Yes, I'm in a bang

With a gang

They've got to catch me if they want me to hang

'Cause I'm back on the track

And I'm beatin' the flack

Nobody's gonna get me on another rap

So look at me now

I'm just makin' my play

Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way


'Cause I'm back

Yes, I'm back

Well, I'm back

Yes, I'm back

Well, I'm back, back

Well, I'm back in black

Yes, I'm back in black


Well, I'm back, yes, I'm back

Well, I'm back, yes, I'm back

Well, I'm back, back

Well, I'm back in black

Yes, I'm back in black


Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Take my love

Oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah

Well, I'm back (I'm back)

Back (I'm back)

Back (I'm back)

Back (I'm back)

Back (I'm back)

Back

Back in black

Yes, I'm back in black

I've hit the sack


Wish You Well - Bernard Fanning

Up so early feel so bright

Didn't get much sleep last night

Freight train rattled through my head

Whistle blowing love is dead

Is dead


Heart attacked by fear and doubt

won't be long till the truth comes out

first impressions never lie

Lover's bonds they hold so fast


Restless future burning bright

The past is holding on so tight

Never heard the warning bell

And I just want to wish you well

I just want to wish you well


Welcome swallows dip and swing

Take their cue from the slightest thing

Rolling fog into my room

Why did you give up on me so soon?

So soon


Restless future burning bright

The past is holding on so tight

Never heard the warning bell

And I just want to wish you well

I just want to wish you well

I just want to wish you well

I just want to wish you well


Why did you give up on me so soon?

Did you give up on me so soon?

I just want to wish you well

I just want to wish you well


Elastic Heart - Sia

And another one bites the dust

Oh, why can I not conquer love?

And I might've thought that we were one

Wanted to fight this war without weapons


And I wanted it, and I wanted it bad

But there were so many red flags

Now another one bites the dust

Yeah, let's be clear I'll trust no one


You did not break me


I'm still fighting for peace


I've got thick skin and an elastic heart

But your blade it might be too sharp

I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

I may snap and I move fast

But you won't see me fall apart


'Cause I've got an elastic heart


I've got an elastic heart

Yeah, I've got an elastic heart


And I will stay up through the night

Let's be clear, won't close my eyes

And I know that I can survive

I'll walk through fire to save my life


And I want it, I want my life so bad

I'm doing everything I can

Then another one bites the dust

It's hard to lose a chosen one


You did not break me


I'm still fighting for peace


I've got thick skin and an elastic heart

But your blade it might be too sharp

I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

I may snap and I move fast

But you won't see me fall apart

'Cause I've got an elastic heart


I've got thick skin and an elastic heart

But your blade it might be too sharp

I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

I may snap and I move fast

But you won't see me fall apart


'Cause I've got an elastic heart


I've got thick skin and an elastic heart

But your blade it might be too sharp

I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

And I may snap and I move fast

But you won't see me fall apart


'Cause I've got an elastic heart


I've got an elastic heart.


Cherry Wine - Grentperez

Why you standing all by yourself?

Those shoes were made for dancing with someone else

Why don't we move over to that empty space?

I bet you 20 bucks I'll put a smile on your face


I know a place where we can

Dance the night away

Baby, we could try to

Make the world spin slower

We could take our time and

Get to know each other over cherry wine, huh


Well, it's so soon to give up on tonight, uh

I haven't had the chance to show you my moves and I

I think you'd like to see why they would call me Mr. Dynamite


I can show while we dance the night away

Baby, we could try to

Make the world spin slower

We could take our time and

Get to know each other over cherry wine


I've been waiting on this dance

Floor made for two babe

Won't you show me just what you can do?

I don't wanna waste your time

So please just have me for tonight? Huh

Dance


Yeah, I said let's dance the night away

Baby, we could try to

Make the world spin slower

We could take our time and

Get to know each other over cherry wine


Oh, I, dance the night away

Baby we could try to

Make the world spin slower

We could take our time, uh


Know it's too soon to say you're mine

Let's have a little drink tonight

And get to know each other over cherry wine.

You’re The Voice - John Farnham 

We have the chance to turn the pages over

We can write what we want to write

We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older


We're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

How long can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun?


You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

Oh, whoa

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

Oh, whoa


This time, we know we all can stand together

With the power to be powerful

Believing we can make it better


Ooh, we're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

How long can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun?


You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

Oh, whoa

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

Oh, whoa

Ooh, we're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

How long can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun?


You're the voice, try and understand it

Make the noise and make it clear

Oh, whoa

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

Oh, whoa

You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

Oh, whoa

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

Oh, whoa

You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

Oh, whoa

We're not gonna sit in silence (we're not gonna sit in silence)

We're not gonna live with fear (we're not gonna live with fear)

Oh, whoa

You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

Oh, whoa

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

Oh, whoa
