"A Kind Of Magic" (Taylor)
It's a kind of magic, It's a kind of magic, A kind of magic, One dream, one soul, one prize, One goal, one golden glance of what should be, It's a kind of magic, One shaft of light that shows the way, No mortal man can win this day, It's a mind of magic, The bell that rings inside your mind, It's a challenging the doors of time, It's a kind of magic, The waiting seems eternity, The day will dawn of sanity, It's a kind of magic, There can be only one, This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be gone, This flame that burns inside of me, I'm hearing secret harmonies It's a kind of magic, The bell that rings inside your mind, Is challenging the doors of time, It's a kind of magic, It's a kind of magic, This rage that lasts a thousand years, Will soon be will soon be, Will soon be gone, This is a kind of magic, Tere can only be one, This life that lasts a thousand years, Will soon be gone, Magic - it's a kind of magic, It's a kind of magic, Magic, magic, magic, magic, It's magic, It's a kind of magic."One Year Of Love" (Deacon)
Just one year of love Is better than a lifetime alone, One sentimental moment in your arms Is like a shooting star right through my heart, It's always a rainy day without you, I'm a prisoner of love inside you - I'm falling apart all around you - yeah. My heart cries out to your heart, I'm lonely but you can save me, My hand reaches out for your hand, I'm cold but you light the fire in me, My lips search for your lips, I'm hungry for your touch, There's so much left unspoken And all I can do is surrender To the moment just surrender And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much, Oooh yes it hurtsm And pain is so close to pleasure, And all I can do is surrender to your love, Just surrender to your love, Just one year of love, Is better that a lifetime alone, One sentimental moment in your arms, Is like a shooting star right through my heart, It's always a rainy day without you, I'm a prisoner of love inside you - I'm falling apart all around you - yeah. And all I can do is surrender."Pain Is So Close To Pleasure" (Mercury/Deacon)
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, oh yeah, Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life, Ooh, Ooh, pain is so close to pleasure everbody knows, One day we love each other then we're fighting one another all the time, When I was young and just getting started, And people talked to me they sounded broken hearted, Then I grew up and got my imagination And all I wanted was to start a new releation, So in love but love had a bad reaction, I was looking for good old satisfaction, But pain is all I got when all I needed was some love and affection, Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, yeah, yeah, Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life, Pain and pleasure, Ooh, Ooh, pain and pleasure, When your plans go wrong and you turn out the light, But inside your mind you have to put up a fight, Where are the answers that we're all searching for, There's nothing in this world to be sure of anymore, But if you're feeling happy someone else is always sad, Let the sweetness on love wipe the tears from your facem Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, I told you so, Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life, Pain is so close to pleasure, yeah, yeah, Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life, All your life, Pain - pleasure."Friends Will Be Friends" (Mercury/Deacon)
Another red letter day, So the pound has dropped and the children are creating, The other half ran away, Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber, Got a pain in the chest, Doctors on strike what you need is a rest. It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust, Friends will be friends, When you're in need of love they give you care and attention, Friends will be friends, When you're through with life and all hope is lost, Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end. Now it's a beautiful day, The postman delivered a letter from your lover, Only a phone call away, You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number, As a matter of fact, You're getting used to life without him in your way. It's so easy now, cos you got friends you can trust, Friends will be friends, When you're in need of love they give you care and attention, Friends will be friends, When you're through with life and all hope is lost, Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end. It's so easy now, cos you got friends you can trust, Friends will be friends, When you're in need of love they give you care and attention, Friends will be friends, When you're through with life and all hope is lost, Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end. Friends will be friends, When you're in need of love they give you care and attention, Friends will be friends, When you're through with life and all hope is lost, Hold out your hand cos right till the end - Friends will be friends."Who Wants To Live Forever" (May)
There's no time for us, There's no place for us, What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us. Who wants to live forever, Who wants to live forever.....? There's no chance for us, It's all decided for us, This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us. Who wants to live forever, Who dares to love forever, When love must die. But touch my tears with your lips, Touch my world with your fingertips, And we can have forever, And we can love forever, Forever is our today, Who wants to live forever, Who wants to live forever, Forever is our today, Who waits forever anyway?"Gimme The Prize" (May)
Here I am, I'm the master of your destiny, I am the one the only one, I am the god of kingdom come, Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize, Give me your kings, let me squeenze them in my hands, Your puny princes, Your so-called leaders of your land, I'll eat them whole before I'm done, The battle's fought and the game is won, I am the only one, I am the god of kingdom come, Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize, Move over, I said move over, Hey, hey, hey clear the way, There's no escape from my authority - I tell you - I am the one the only one, I am the god of kingdom come, Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize, I am the only one, I am the god of kingdom come, Gimme the prize."Don't Lose Your Head" (Taylor)
