We Are The Champions - Queen

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

Melody Fair - Bee Gees



Who is the girl with the crying face
Looking at millions of signs
She know that life is a running race
Her face shouldn't show any lines

Melody fair won't you comb your hair
You can be beautiful too
Melody fair remember you're only a woman
Melody fair remember you're only a girl, Aah

Who is the girl at the windows pane
Watching the rain falling down
Melody life isn't like the rain
It's just like a merry-go-round

Melody fair won't you comb your hair
You can be beautiful too
Melody fair remember you're only a woman
Melody fair remember you're only a girl, Aah

First of May - Bee Gees


When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
We used to love while others used to play
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Someone else moved in from far away

*Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I, our love will never die
But guess we'll cry come first of May

The apple tree that grew for you and me
I watched the apples falling one by one
And I recall the moment of them all
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone

*Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I, our love will never die
But guess we'll cry come first of May

When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
Doo......
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Someone else moved in from far away

Mark Lester (b. July 11, 1958) was an English child actor known for playing innocent-looking boys in British and European films of the 1960s and 70s.
He was born Mark A. Letzer.[1] The son of actor and producer Michael Lester and actress Rita Lester, Lester attended Corona Stage Academy in London and had supporting roles in several British television series, including The Human Jungle and Danger Man.
At the age of nine, Lester was cast in Oliver! (1968). He played the lead in the multiple Academy Award-winning musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel, which co-starred Jack Wild.
These two child actors later reunited for Melody (1971), which depicted British schoolchildren in love. Tracy Hyde played the role of Melody in the film, which used early music from the Bee Gees and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
In 1969, Lester received critical acclaim for his portrayal of a withdrawn only child in Run Wild, Run Free, starring opposite Sir John Mills. However, after starring in Eyewitness and Melody and in Black Beauty (1971), he found good roles harder to come by. Night Hair Child (1971) where he kissed a woman on the lips and Redneck (1972), where he stripped naked for the camera, were considered by many critics as inappropriate vehicles for the young actor due to their themes of sexuality and violence

Knife - Rockwell



You touched my life
With the softness in the night
My wish was your command
Until you ran out of love

I tell myself I'm free
Got the chance of livin' just for me
No need to hurry home
Now that you're gone

CHORUS:
Knife
Cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply wounded
Knife
Cuts like a knife
You cut away the heart of my life

When I pretend
Wear a smile to fool my dearest friends
I wonder if they know
It's just a show

I'm on a stage
Day and night I go through my charades
But how can I disguise
What's in my eyes

CHORUS

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh

I've tried and tried
Blocking out the pain I feel inside
The pain of wanting you
Wanting you

Knife
Cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply wounded
[2X]

You cut away the heart
Of my life
