Verse 1

Today somebody hurt my pride, I had to turn the other way
All of my confidence just died, It was fragile anyway

Bridge

Please wrap your arms around me, Show me that you still love me
I need to feel this from you

Chorus

Please don’t say another word to me, No need to speak your thoughts to me
Stop right now, and hold me tight

Verse 2

and let your actions scream out loud, there’s no place I’d rather be
to be with you makes me so proud, I want to lose myself in you

Bridge

Please wrap your arms around me, Show me that you still love me
I need to feel this from you

Chorus

Please don’t say another word to me, No need to speak your thoughts to me
Stop right now, and hold me tight

Pre Break

Hold me so tight & never let go, Hold me so tight & never let go

Break

When you’re down,
Head spinning round,
We will be there for you
To turn it round,
we will help you to see,
It’s not just you
It’s something we’ve all been through,
It’s nothing new,
But it hurts all the same
Someone’s to blame,
& now it is part of you,
Let it go
But we won’t say a word,
Just let them heal,
the words that were said to me,
read to me,
thrown to me,
screamed to me,
hurting me,
breaking me,
tearing me up inside

Don’t you know that you’re never gonna be the same
Shouldn’t do, the things that you have done to me
But the pain will have torn away this very heart
Take control, adopt the more important role
Do not fear the judgement in this cruel domain
Step on back, and think about what you’ve been through
I know that you are never going to be the same

Bridge

Please wrap your arms around me, Show me that you still love me
I need to feel this from you

Chorus

Please don’t say another word to me, No need to speak your thoughts to me
Stop right now, and hold me tight

Verse 1

Christmas time, Church bells ring, as we walk to school in the snow,
I think of you, and what we talked through, in the light of the fires glow

Bridge

Christmas time again, a time when dreams begin, will you pursue your dream

Chorus

Now it’s Christmas time again, Rudolph fly’s again, Take hold of the reins

Follow your heart
Rudolph fly’s again,
Follow your dream
Take hold of the reins
take hold with love
and take hold of your dream,

Verse 2

Did you know, that in the snow, I wrote out your name,
as I called it out, the snow did fall, & i watched as it faded away

Bridge

Christmas time again, a time when dreams begin, will you pursue your dream

Chorus

Now it’s Christmas time again, Rudolph fly’s again, Take hold of the reins

take hold with love
and take hold of your dream, Cause it’s Christmas time again,
Follow your heart
Rudolph fly’s again,
Follow your dream
Take hold of the reins
take hold with love

and take hold of your dream,

Break

Don’t ask why, just deliver it, don’t tell me you can’t find the time

Mary did you know? +2

Verse 1

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?

Chorus

Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you

Verse 2

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?

Chorus

Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God

Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know? Did you know?
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?
The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb

Chorus

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding is the great, I Am
Mary, did you know? (Mary, did you know?)
Mary, did you know? (Mary, did you know?)
Mary, did you know? Oh

Someone you loved

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now, I need somebody to know
Somebody to heal
Somebody to have
Just to know how it feels
It's easy to say but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape

Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around

For now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

But now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

No matter what comes to pass we'll never fall apart 
The timelessness of this love can never be diverted

You, gonna hold you until I die, till I Die
We could be together forever if you let meeeee

So let me stay in your arms forever
We are the perfect team.
You and me.

Take me to church

Verse 1

Charlie & Phoenix

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner

Eden and Cameron

If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's gettin' more bleak
A fresh poison each week

Saffron and Lexi

We were born sick, you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"

Everyone

The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well

Pre-Chorus

A, amen
Amen, amen

Chorus

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life

Verse 2

If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea, get somethin' shiny
Somethin' meaty for the main course
That's a fine lookin' high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starvin' faithful
That looks tasty, that looks plenty
This is hungry work

Chorus

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life

Break

No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then, I am human, only then, I am clean

Pre-Chorus

Oh, oh, amen
Amen, amen

Chorus

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life

20. So Alive +3

Verse 1 

Is there a chance that this could be big,
if there is I think I’ll take it
I’ve got to believe that I can do this,
I’ve got to believe that I can make it
There’s always a fear that makes it unclear & make me feel that I am faking
I’ll put this aside & get on this ride, cause now I know that I can take this... 

Chorus

...High, above those hills,
that blocked the view from getting to my eyes
and now I see, the reason I’m alive
So why, did it take so long,
much time has gone but I can still arrive
at my greatest point, and I feel so alive         
I’m letting go (of all my fears)

and waking up to all the possibilites
Now I, with open eyes, feel so alive

Verse 2

Do you believe, that you can do this,
do you believe that you can make it,
don’t try to resist, destiny’s kiss,
it’s sleeping in you but you can wake it
what I want to do, what I want to be,
what I want to see, it’s there inside you
fuel it with love, drive it with dreams,
hold on to the wheel and you  can guide it... 

Chorus

...High, above those hills,
that blocked the view from getting to my eyes
and now I see, the reason I’m alive
So why, did it take so long,
much time has gone but I can still arrive
at my greatest point, and I feel so alive         
I’m letting go (of all my fears)
and waking up to all the possibilites 

Break

Did you ever feel the pain inside you’re heart
when you had a dream and watched it pass you by
the tears that will fall upon your heart don’t lie
They don’t lie, take time to dry
Open your eyes, feel so alive

Chorus

Take it high, above those hills, that blocked the view from getting to my eyes
and now I see, the reason I’m alive
So why, did it take so long,
much time has gone but I can still arrive
at my greatest point, and I feel so alive         
I’m letting go (of all my fears)
and waking up to all the possibilites
Now I, with open eyes, feel so alive         
I’m letting go (of all my fears)
and waking up to all the possibilities

3. Mine Bella -5, Ella -6

Verse 1

I couldn’t understand the motive for you walking out
Please give me one good reason for your changed mind
My open arms to you remain despite me feeling blue
I can’t feel whole inside till, we join as two.

Chorus

So why why did you turn and walkaway,
I thought that we would be here to stay
I will not feel love till your mine

I look back to us and our golden times
Didn’t know our future was on the line
I will not feel love till your mine

synth break 1

Verse 2

We need to compromise, take time for us to realise
Right now I cant believe that, you’ve walked away
Since looking back to times when we had really made a life
You’ve lost that loving feeling, I’ve lost again.

Chorus

So why why did you turn and walkaway,
I thought that we would be here to stay
I will not feel love till your mine

I look back to us and our golden times
Didn’t know our future was on the line
I will not feel love till your mine

synth break chorus

Finale Chorus

I look back to us and our golden times
Didn’t know our future was on the line
I will not feel love till your mine

You're mine
You're mine
Yeah you're mine
You're still mine

You're still mine

1. I love you

Verse 1

Looking back I realise love was there but slipping away
just like a flickering flame, surviving in vain
Everytime I searched for a meaning I found nothing was there My Love

Chorus

Suddenly the mist fades away
and I see clearly
and realise that after all this pain
I love You, I love You, I love You my love, I love You 

Verse 2

When times are troubled just think of me and I will be there for you
just like the warmth that arrives on a summer breeze
look out for the feather that falls to ground
and know that I’m there my love 

Chorus

Suddenly the mist fades away
and I see clearly
and realise that after all this pain
I love You, I love You, I love You my love, I love You

23. Mon Amour. -5 Ella, Elisa -5 tana-3

Verse 1

Turning round in evasion
I couldn’t take another chance
I once felt that you belonged with me
but my passions been erased by what you’ve done
I couldn’t cry not for your eyes
I couldn’t take another word
i thought I’d found myself an endless love
and believe me it will never be undone

Chorus

Mon amour, tell me how much you love me,
I love you more,

I love you more,

for i love you more, than i could have wanted
mon amour, tell me how much you need me, I
need you more

I need you more

for i need you more than eyes need the sunshine

Verse 2

Seeking out all our old friends, Can they survive inside your mind
they said they won’t ever speak to you, but I can’t pretend to feel that in my mind
I couldn’t cry not for your eyes, I couldn’t take another word
i thought I’d found myself an endless love, and believe me it will never be undone

Chorus

Mon amour, tell me how much you love me, I love you more,

I love you more,

for i love you more, than i could have wanted
mon amour, tell me how much you need me, I need you more

I need you more

for i need you more than eyes need the sunshine

I've got to say, I can’t believe you want to end this love
I'm the one who showed you how to live again 
and love again, and love again
I don’t want this to end

But it’s over

7. Thorn in my side -3 Elisa  0 Sheniah

Verse 1

Walking in the rain as a train passes by

No one will notice my pain as I cry
More than a thought goes through my mind as I try to understand, what’s pulling me down

Bridge

I can feel that my heart takes control of my mind

Chorus

Despite what you’ve done I feel love
It’s getting me down but this love
It grows on and on and on
Like a thorn in my side

Verse 2

Last night I mentioned these thoughts to a friend
I was a frightened away by the things that he said
Well It’s easy to talk when you’re not the one
Facing the torment inside
That’s pulling you down

Bridge

I can feel that my heart takes control of my mind

Chorus

Despite what you’ve done I feel love
It’s getting me down but this love
It grows on and on and on
Like a thorn in my...

Break

Side hurting me.
And nothing will break it free
You were the one or so I thought
Perhaps It was not to be?
Was I so wrong,
That you were gone before I could make it be?
now I face life in this place
Where I do not want to be

Can’t take it, can’t fake it
It’s turned my world from up to down
I held on, you let go
And I have fallen to the ground

Bridge

I can feel that my heart takes control of my mind

Chorus

Despite what you’ve done I feel love
It’s getting me down but this love
It grows on and on and on
Like a thorn in my side

the feelings that have grown inside me

10. In Retrospect Bella 0, Ella -2, Sheniah -1

Verse 1

At times I find, the moments here again,
lost in pure pretence
and as we move to conversations end
I don’t want this to change

Chorus

Don’t want this to change

I refuse to believe we’re at an end, whatever you say,
It can’t change the way I feel today

Verse 2

and at times I find, we’ve lost ourselves again,
you say you feel ashamed, well I find this kind of strange,
what is this, some fashion parade?
OK, I’ll take the blame if you want me to
But I don’t want this to change

Chorus

Don’t want this to change

I refuse to believe we’re at an end, whatever you say,
It can’t change the way I feel today

Break

I’m losing out somehow,
I'm losing out
somehow I need these changes?
and I wanted to say
wanted to say
but it’s hopeless anyway
and I’m losing the heart,
in retrospect I shouldn’t have ever believed in your love
in retrospect I have failed

Verse 3

Sunday went by, I left to go home through your way
I screamed just go to hell, I don’t need you anyway
oh my stupid ways, why did I have to go and tear my world apart
when I shouted on out in my crazy ways but I don’t want this to change

Chorus

Don’t want this to change

I refuse to believe we’re at an end, whatever you say,
It can’t change the way I feel today

I told you this before

that I love you so and I never want to let you down again
whatever you say it can’t change the way I feel today

24. I’m losing again Mia -3

Verse

You said, hey, you’re getting me down,
stop fooling around, I’m finding it hard to play this,
role of your former friend.

It’s taken time to cover this ground,
then play the thing down,
I’m losing again,
who’ll hold me, dark days, long phase again.

Chorus

...and though I knew that, it hurt bad,
It hurt bad
I let you down,

I let you down
why should I think about it, I don’t feel proud

Break

Chorus

...and though I knew that,it hurt bad,

It hurt bad

I let you down,

I let you down
why should I think about it, I don’t feel proud

Verse 2

Last night I was lost in a crowd, the music up loud,
and I could see more than I’d dare,
I know, I’m too aware

Chorus

...and though I knew that,

It hurt bad
it hurt bad,

I let you down,

I let you down
why should I think about it,
I don’t feel proud

25. I am in love with music

Verse 1

Looking back now I know
I was born with a love of music
Took me some time to learn
The reason I had to use it

Through all my troubled times
I turned to the thing that got me through
My own confessional

I am in love with music

Chorus

Then, 

Now,
Tomorrow,
Till the day i’m not around

I'll breathe this sound
into my veins 

I am in love with music

Verse 2

As many years have passed
And moments of countless feelings
deep inside of my heart
The one thing that’s lead to healing

Something that cleans my soul
Of everything that would bring it down

I want the world to know

I am in love with music

Chorus

Then, 

Now,
Tomorrow,
Till the day i’m not around

I'll breathe this sound
into my veins 

I am in love with music 

Break

Looking back now I know
I was born with a love of music
Took me some time to learn
The reason I had to use it

Through all my troubled times
I turned to the thing that got me through
My own confessional

Chorus

Then, 

Now,
Tomorrow,
Till the day i’m not around

I'll breathe this sound
into my veins 

I am in love with music

Then, 
my friend

Now,

my heart

Tomorrow,
Till the day i’m not around

I'll breathe this sound
into my veins 

I am in love with music 

Then, 

Now,
Tomorrow,
Till the day i’m not around

I'll breathe this sound
into my veins 

I am in love with music 

4. Chatterbox +6

Verse 1

Remember that time when I phoned you
to make you fully aware
it took you an hour to realise
that I was gone

Bridge

Oh for crying out loud, could I just say one word
I will be heard, eventually I’m sure
the open door exists no more, cause I’ve seen what you’re like

Chorus

Chatterbox, won’t you stop,
oh for crying out loud, could I say, just one word,
oh for crying out loud, oh for crying out loud, hear me out

Verse 2

Now hundreds of times I have told you
but you don’t seem to have changed
if you were in the olympics
they’d test you for drugs

Bridge

Oh for crying out loud, could I just say one word
I will be heard, eventually I’m sure
the open door exists no more, cause I’ve seen what you’re like

Chorus

Chatterbox, won’t you stop,
oh for crying out loud, could I say, just one word, 

Break

So what were you thinking
when you realised I’d gone
did it occur to you that one of us was wrong
Has it occured to you that the chance has now been lost
Now that I realise that you do come at a cost

Bridge

Just one word
I will be heard, eventually I’m sure
the open door exists no more, cause I’ve seen what you’re like

Chorus

Chatterbox, won’t you stop,
oh for crying out loud, could I say, just one word,
oh for crying out loud,
Chatterbox, won’t you stop,
oh for crying out loud, could I say, just one word,
oh for crying out loud,

5. You’re not alone -1 rommi & Poppy

Verse 1

You, you tell me what you’re going thru
I know how you feel, I’m there too,
every day, they hurt me in the same way
Though I try, I feel that I’m far too shy,
but it doesn’t give them (all) the right
to hurt me, & yet somehow they feel free

CHORUS

every night, I’m fighting away the tears,
yet if you ask I’ll say I’m ok,
cause I don’t know what to do,
should I reveal what they put me thru
You’re not alone, just like you I’m hurting too

Verse 2

Do you find, that terrible thoughts haunt your mind?
Those words that were said so unkind, they replay,
in a loop throughout the day,
I’ve betrayed, the person that I was to be
it’s a prisoner that yearns to be free,
Without a key, behind bars that shadow me?

CHORUS

every night, I’m fighting away the tears,
yet if you ask I’ll say I’m ok,
cause I don’t know what to do,
should I reveal what they put me thru
You’re not alone, just like you I’m hurting too

CHORUS

every night, I’m fighting away the tears,
yet if you ask I’ll say I’m ok,
cause I don’t know what to do,
should I reveal what they put me thru
No I don’t know what to do,
should I reveal what they put me thru
You’re not alone, just like you I’m hurting too

21. The Calm Before the Storm

VERSE 1

All I’ve seen for miles
is the sea and I’ve
given up hope
of ever reaching shore
I recall the calm
just before our storm
When we had laughed
with such joy but how it turned around
and everything that we had was lost

CHORUS

I don’t want to believe that we won’t find a way
Holding on, despite that sinking feeling
this is not,
this isn’t where our story ends,
My friend

VERSE 2

As the weeks passed by
I was sure I’d die
I heard your words
repeating over in my mind
Those words haunted me,
drifting through the sea
when suddenly
the storm returned like when it tore
through
everything that we had was lost

CHORUS

I don’t want to believe that we won’t find a way
Holding on, despite that sinking feeling
this is not,
this isn’t where our story ends,
My friend
It’s turned dark and  so cold,
And I’m slipping away

BREAK

Suddenly I can hear
I hear my name being called but who is there
And I feel, I feel a hand that is slipping into mine
I say please,

Please don’t Harm me I am struggling to breathe
And my eyes I cannot see,
don’t know why but is been days
could it beI’m being saved
Don’t know who and don’t know why
And despite
The crashing waves I’ve found hope amongst the Storm

CHORUS

There’s no point crying out cause you’re here with me
And I want to believe that we have found the way
Holding on, despite that sinking feeling
we can make,
We can make our way back home again
Just Promise me That we won’t fight again
We both know that we can Weather our storms
This is not And never will it be cause
the moment came and we crossed that line,
I was blaming you but we both felt broken
Holding on to a thought unspoken
This is not, this isn’t where our story is
Thrown aside with our hurting pride
Though we held on tight we were torn away
from everything we had built together
this is not,
this isn’t where our story ends
It’s been dark & so Cold
but I feel hope again

22. Fighting for My Life -4

Verse 1

I can’t sleep, you’re on my mind
like I’m doing time inside
& I don’t eat, focus on thin air
there’s nothing there yet I stare

Bridge 

I’m at times I can’t breathe
it feels like I’m fighting for my life

Chorus

please don’t walk away from me

I’m coming up for air,
fighting for my life
your hand has slipped
away from mine.

Verse 2

So why, did you
turn away from me,
dive into the sea of change  

Bridge

Walk away, that’s what they say
it’s easier said than done
I’ve fallen in, I’m sinking down
I’m drowning now

Bridge 

at times I can’t breathe
it feels like I’m fighting for my life

Chorus

please don’t walk away from me
boy I don’t know you any more
please forgive me of my sins
I cannot ignore what’s gone before
I’m coming up for air, fighting for my life
please don’t walk away from me
boy I don’t know you any more
please forgive me of my sins
I cannot ignore what’s gone before
I’m coming up for air,
Screaming out your name
reaching out my hand,
fighting for my life
your hand has slipped
away from mine.

28. I can't let go Erin +2 Sheniah +1 

VERSE 1

You reach out for my hand
like you’re some holy man from a far off land
& yet weren’t you the one,
who once it had begun, killed off all we had
So don’t you come round here,
pretending you’re sincere cos I will not play
your crazy games of hurt I won’t let you exert any more this time

CHORUS

But I still feel love inside oh baby did you have to break us down
There was so much that we had, now nothing that you do will be enough
I can't let go, I can't let go, I can't let go, I can't let go.

VERSE 2

So once again I've seen, there’s nothing in between outright love and pain
So you can stand and stare but we’re beyond repair like a broken frame
You think you have the charm to get away with harm and be asked to stay
It’s time for you to wake for mine and your own sake cause there is no way

CHORUS

But I still feel love inside oh baby did you have to break us down
There was so much that we had, now nothing that you do will be enough
I can't let go, I can't let go, I can't let go, I can’t let…

Break

…You know, that I know, that we’re no go,
that you stooped so low it was your mistake,
& my take that you’re fake, that you’re one piece of…
I must let go, I must let go,  reflecting… regretting, the day I met you...

CHORUS

...but I still feel love inside oh baby did you have to break us down
There was so much that we had, now nothing that you do will be enough
But I still feel love inside oh baby did you have to break us down
There was so much that we had, now nothing that you do will be enough
The love, the dream, The hope, The fear, the tears, the anger
...but I still feel love inside oh baby did you have to break us down
There was so much that we had, now nothing that you do will be enough
But I still feel that love inside why did you have to go and break this
wonderful thing down this way?

There was so much that we had, now nothing that you do will be enough

I can't let go, I can't let go, I can't let go, I can't let go.

29. I miss you

verse 1

I'm angry at you, I don't know what to do
you left me here without you by my side
can't recover my stride
left me to walk into...

chorus

...life on my own can't consider this home
it's testing today just like all...

...all of my days

I could cry
I could fall apart
I miss you
I miss you
I...

verse 2

...need you to know, that you made me whole,
that without you I'm less than half what I was
maybe it is because, 
I'm nothing without your strong belief in me
You'd see things I couldn't see
Go out on a limb and take me from my comfort zone
You were prone to throw me in the deep but...

I miss you

Break

I miss you
I'm blue
and I fight with every demon inside
But I hide, cause of pride, the hurt that tears me apart
So I smile, Cheer friends up, half full cup
Nothing prepared me for this cruel time

I miss you
I miss you

30. Silenced 

Verse 1

See things through the eyes of a child 
one moment 
Listen to the words I must say 
Please hear me
Arts are being labelled as not important
I respectfully disagree 


Bridge

I was born to sing

I was born to dance

I was born, I feel, to bring you story

Don’t hold back, shout it out

Let’s unite and tell the world

Chorus

The Arts must not be silenced

The Arts must not be silenced

Verse 2

Imagine waking to a new kind of silence

Everything you see comes to you through your screen,

Actors, and musicians all but departed.

Comedians & singers denied


Bridge 2

But they were born to sing
They were born to dance

They were born, I feel, to bring you story

Don’t hold back, shout it out

Let’s unite and tell the world


Chorus

The Arts must not be silenced

The Arts must not be silenced

Break

I fear a world, where no one performs live, all performances you see are on a screen

It’s been implied, the arts are not required, that there’s more important ways to spend our time 

And yet you'll see, in history that all the greatest empires would unite the people through performing arts

arts bring us together, working as one entity, all of us with one big beating heart.

Chorus

The Arts must not be silenced
The Arts must not be silenced
The Arts must not be silenced
Everybody you’ve go to tell the world
The Arts must not be silenced

Don’t let them pull the rug from us


The Arts must not be silenced
It’s the thing that makes us feel alive


The Arts must not be silenced
We’ll end up yearning for the past


The Arts must not be silenced
Don’t take away our beating arts

The Arts must not be silenced
Music unites like nothing else


The Arts must not be silenced
Don’t let this silence engulf us


The Arts must not be silenced
Unite to bring it back to us

The Arts must not be silenced

Another Love -3 Elisa, -2 group

Verse 1

I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care
But it's so cold and I don't know where
I brought you daffodils in a pretty string
But they won't flower like they did last spring

And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright
I'm just so tired to share my nights
I wanna cry and I wanna love
But all my tears have been used up

Chorus

On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up, up

Verse 2

And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight
But my hand's been broken one too many times
So I'll use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude
Words, they always win, but I know I'll lose

And I'd sing a song that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna learn to love
But all my tears have been used up

Chorus

On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up, up

Break

Oh, need a love, now
My heart is thinking of

Chorus

I wanna sing a song that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart

On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up, up

Sunday I did try to call you
to say sorry for all the hurtful words I said
Laid in bed, couldn't sleep

Monday I got on the school bus
looked over to you, you just turned away
It’s ok

I’m holding back all my tears (I’m hiding my tears)
So nobody knows
Cause I can’t, let on

The last thing at night
The first thing before dawn
I’m so torn
It’s deserved but please tell me

Final Chorus

Do you feel the same? Do I cry in vain? Someone please explain?

Do you feel the same? Do I cry in vain? Someone please explain?

Is the hurt I feel the punishment for
the things I did wrong?
Please tell me cause I feel so unsure ( I can’t take no more)

I need you to reply

Need you to reply
I haven’t got the strength to stand up and fight,
to make it all right

The light on this candle’s ‘bout to blow...

Do you feel the same? Do I cry in vain?

Do you feel the same? Do I cry in vain? 

Someone please explain?
Is this just a stupid school girl crush?

Verse 1

Did you hear about David?
have you heard, that he's gone?
I so wanted to tell him,
that he was my great friend
He was calling out my name
but I knew I couldn't reply, I couldn't shout
I'm in doubt, about what I didn't do

Can he ever forgive me, can he tell me I was right 
I don't sleep at night, I don't sleep, thinking of you

Did you hear about David?
have you heard, that he's gone?

Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to Quarterville, the town that prides itself on celebrating multiculturalism.
We now come to the final of the annual 48 hour Quarterville Sing off. For those of you who don't know, each year a brand new song, written by yours truly, is given to each of the competing teams just 2 days before the competition. That means all the teams have the same short amount of time to produce the best performance they can to win the prestigious Quarterville Sing off. The brilliant Athena, from the Greek quarter have now won this 4 years in a row and they're up against first time finalists Volare from the Italian Quarter.

Verse 1


Do you still not believe me?


Still think that I would hurt YOU?


I’ve seen my world, my relationship broken in 2


You took me for a fool &


You thought that you would triumph!


Until I knew  it was you that lead us to our demise, your lies,

Why don’t you disappear before my eyes


Chorus


You’re still around, BUT you should’ve gone to ground

with the shame that you brought to our lives


Will the one with no sin 


Stand here 

We'll let you throw the first stone 


Watch you don’t fall,  you’re full of…     ...Pride 


Verse 2


It should have been forever


But someone was so clever


They pointed to something right yet they made it so wrong


You’ve come here trying to tell me


That I am being stupid


with my own eyes I saw things that lead us to
our demise, your lies, 


Why don’t you disappear before my eyes


Chorus


You’re still around, BUT you should’ve gone to ground

with the shame that you brought to our lives


Will the one with no sin 


Stand here 

We'll let you throw the first stone 


Watch you don’t fall,  you’re full of…     ...Pride

BREAK


But I still feel the same about you as I did before


I cannot let that go


You should have thought about that before you did what you did


When you set out to have your cake and eat it too, the magic was ripped out of both our lives! 

Chorus


You’re still around, BUT you should’ve gone to ground

with the shame that you brought to our lives


Will the one with no sin 


Stand here 

We'll let you throw the first stone 


Watch you don’t fall,  you’re full of…     ...Pride

Chorus


You’re still around, BUT you should’ve gone to ground

with the shame that you brought to our lives

Verse 1

I woke up to a fear this morning
about how I was going to face you
I do not deserve your forgiveness
It's a second chance, I won't fail you

Bridge

We’ve been through the darkest days
Now we’ve reached a light?
Yes we’ve reached a light?
and we’re gonna leave the hurt behind,
no more this time, no more this time

Hide Hide Hide where no one could find me
Fight Fight Fight the demons inside and Cry Cry Cry throughout
But I'm happy now, happy now, happy now, happy now at last

Everyone you have got to join in
In these words you will find your story
How you grew from a tiny person
To the one who now stands before me

37 Change in your life -2

Joanna  backing

Verse 1

Many years have passed
Yet it seems like yesterday
From the moment I walked in this classroom
to this day I walk away
I have never felt so torn
agonising this goodbye
We won’t forget all the things you’ve done for us
We understand but it hurts to say goodbye

Chorus

Change in your life
Changes in your life that you thought, you’d never see.
We won’t forget all the things you’ve done for us
We understand but it hurts to say goodbye
Should I stay or should I go? I must decide
We hope it's not goodbye
Should I stay or should I go?

Break

Though I have been called a runaway. 

runaway
I yearn to find my child and be the mother that I should have been,
should have been
And make the changes in my life
in my life, in my life, in my life

 Verse 2

Many years have passed, though it seems like yesterday

from the moment I walked in this classroom
to this day I walk away...

It’s hard to let go
This place is my soul
I’ve seen the love grow
from the seeds I have sown
We won’t forget all the things you’ve done for us
We understand but it hurts to say goodbye

Chorus

Change in your life
Changes in your life that you thought, you’d never see
We won’t forget all the things you’ve done for us
We understand but it hurts to say goodbye
Change in your life
Changes in your life that you thought, you’d never see
We won’t forget all the things you’ve done for us
We understand but it hurts to say goodbye

Change in your life
Changes in your life that you thought, you’d never see
We won’t forget all the things you’ve done for us
We understand but it hurts to say goodbye
Change in your life
Changes in your life that you thought, you’d never see
We won’t forget all the things you’ve done for us
We understand but it hurts to say goodbye

Should I stay or should I go? I must decide
We hope it's not goodbye
Should I stay or should I go? I must decide
We hope it's not goodbye
Should I stay or should I go? I must decide
We hope it's not goodbye
 Should I stay or should I go?
I’ve made up my mind

Cave In -1

Verse 1

Hiding away, can't get the words out of my head
Sleeping alone, a pillow on the side of your bed
And I can't sleep knowing that you're not mine any more

I can't breathe knowing that you're not walking through the front door

Bridge

A goodbye note lays there on the bed

Same old scene keeps replaying in my head

Chorus

I won't cave in, I can't give up
I will hold on, hold on to us
I wouldn't leave you, like you left me
I'll be here boy, here for you and me

Verse 1

Head start you get far away so I can’t catch you
You gained a lead running from all the pain you put me through 
And I can’t sleep knowing that you’re not mine any more
I can't breathe knowing that you're not walking through the front door

VERSE 1

I remember a time when you were friends,
I thinks it’s now time that you made amends,
you’ve got yourselves into this corner,
your hurting with pride and I know you mourn her
I Know nothings gonna change my mind, so give it up
I've given up

You’ve found new friends and your walking proud, you’re hanging around with the in crowd
but with Jane you had something stronger, a friendship that would last much longer
I Know nothings gonna change my mind, so I say

Chorus

Stop, stop, preaching to me your way,
I know nothings gonna change the way
that I feel about it now
I’ve tried to understand the reasons why you’re
wasting so much time, pursuing a dream that will never come
but you were part of that big dream, together we’d have the world at our feet

I said I’ve given up
I've given up
Please don't give up

I've given up

Verse 2

We’re wasting our time lets stay no longer,
I now feel that I don’t belong here
you’re letting cred dictate you life,
it might feel good but it’s a double edged knife

I Know nothings gonna change my mind, so I say

Chorus

Stop, stop, preaching to me your way,
I know nothings gonna change the way
that I feel about it now
I’ve tried to understand the reason why you’re
wasting so much time, pursuing a dream that will never come
but you were part of that big dream, together we’d have all the world at our feet

I said I’ve given up
I've given up
Please don't give up

 I’ve given up
Please don't give up

 I’ve given up
Please don't give up

Judgement

VERSE 1

You have no right to tell me
How I should be living my life
I choose to follow my desires
You were not born to lead me
And I  wasn't born so that you could
critisize my every move

CHORUS

Know that My life is my own
There's no part of it you own
So step down from your fragile throne
And If there's judgement to be made
Then my life will be replayed
Beyond that sky, until then let me be

VERSE 2

Live and let live's my story
And I feel such love inside my heart
Everyone's free to live their lives
So why do some feel they own you
Like their life depends on what you do
They're on a mission that will fail

CHORUS

Know that My life is my own
There's no part of it you own
So step down from your fragile throne
And If there's judgement to be made
Then my life will be replayed
Beyond that sky, until then let me be

BREAK

When was the last time you
looked inside yourself
Please realize
That what you seek is waiting there
Yet you stop to criticize
Everybody else
Who don't see it like you do
Different rules apply
They are not the same as you

VERSE 3

Now that you've found it hold me
Cause It's only now we feel as one
Feeling the love run through your veins
You cannot be controlling
And find happiness inside your heart
Cause we're all free to feel alive

CHORUS

Know that My life is my own
There's no part of it you own
So step down from your fragile throne
And If there's judgement to be made
Then my life will be replayed
Beyond that sky, until then let me be

Joanna, if you could only know what I must hide.
Joanna, I’ve worked both day and night but you’re denied

Won’t you stay?
I need you tonight, won’t you stay?
There’s fire in my soul, and a lot of hurt pride.
I need for you to know these feelings.

Joanna, I’ve worked both day and night but you’re denied

42 Pendulum

Verse 1

Nothing that you do or say will stop me believing

You’ve tried to bring me down but I will not be receiving

Your hostile cruel replies denote the person that’s speaking, that’s you

But I will carry on regardless expressing my feelings

When did all these things become so polarising

People pointing to my life accusing me of sin

There simply isn’t such a thing as someone who knows everything

We will form our own beliefs from Knowledge and feeling

Chorus

You’re such a fool

You’ve got it wrong

You make no sense

But It’s what I believe in

You’re talking bull….

Don’t say that word

What do you know

But It’s what I believe in

It’s what I believe in

It’s what I believe in

Verse 2

There was once a time when we were much more accepting

Cancel culture will condemn someone for opinions

Now we all demand perfection as if there is one way to be

The pendulum will swing again but it won’t stop moving

Chorus

You’re such a fool

You’ve got it wrong

You make no sense

But It’s what I believe in

You’re talking bull….

Don’t say that word

What do you know

But It’s what I believe in

It’s what I believe in

It’s what I believe in

Break

Did you ever wonder why we’re lonely, while we’re making out we’re living so free

When in truth we’re in a game

Take a look at all the things we’re doing, there is so much negative that’s brewing

So let’s recognise so we can avoid

Did you ever wonder why we’re lonely, while we’re making out we’re living so free

When in truth we’re in a game

Take a look at all the things we’re doing, there is so much negative that’s brewing

So let’s recognise so we can avoid

That’s what I believe in

Mujer Contra Mujer +9

verse

Nada tienen de especial
Dos mujeres que se dan la mano
El matiz viene después
Cuando lo hacen por debajo del mantel
Luego, a solas, sin nada que perder
Tras las manos el resto de la piel
Un amor por ocultar
Aunque, en cueros, no hay dónde esconderlo
Lo disfrazan de amistad
Cuando sale a pasear por la ciudad

pre-chorus

Una, opina que aquello no está bien
La otra, opina que, ¿qué se le va a hacer?
Y lo que opinen los demás está de más

chorus

¿Quién detiene palomas al vuelo?
Volando a ras de suelo
Mujer contra mujer

verse

No estoy yo por la labor
De tirarles la primera piedra
Si equivoco la ocasión
Y las hallo, labio a labio, en el salón

pre-chorus

Ni siquiera me atrevería a toser
Si no gusto, ya sé lo que hay que hacer

verse

Que con mis piedras hacen ellas su pared

chorus

¿Quién detiene palomas al vuelo?
Volando a ras de suelo
Mujer contra mujer

pre-chorus

Una, opina que aquello no está bien
La otra, opina que, ¿qué se le va a hacer?
Y lo que opinen los demás está de más

16. You’re Crazy Rommi -3

VERSE 1    

What? did you believe that you could walk away?
When I had my heart set on asking you to stay here with me?
Now I hear you’re set to go today. It’s tearing me in 2.

I never realised this till the other day, when you were absent 
I was feeling oh so lonely for you
Until then I thought you were Insane
and now I know it,  was love, I found, in you, that Day.

CHORUS

Now, I know you’re crazy
but I’m so crazy ‘bout you (and your love)
I know you’re crazy
but I’m so crazy ‘bout you (and your love)

VERSE 2

I used to have my doubts about your crazy style
When I’d see you I tell you I would run a mile to miss you
Now I find I’d run a Marathon just to be with you.

I can’t let go until you know the way I feel
Otherwise I don’t believe I’ll ever heal from this wound
But I’m hoping that you feel the same
cause now I know it,  was love, I found, in you, that Day.

CHORUS

Now, I know you’re crazy
but I’m so crazy ‘bout you (and your love)
I know you’re crazy
but I’m so crazy ‘bout you (and your love)

BREAK

I noticed you wrote it, on paper from your post it
with writing all turned upside down
My feelings are like that, they’re driving me insane but now
now I know it,  was love, I found, in you, that Day

CHORUS

Now, I know you’re crazy
but I’m so crazy ‘bout you (and your love)
I know you’re crazy
but I’m so crazy ‘bout you (and your love)
I know you’re crazy
but I’m so crazy ‘bout you (and your love)
I know you’re crazy
but I’m so crazy ‘bout you (and your love)

Your love, you’re my dream
you light my life
and I love that you’re crazy

17. Sometimes Charlie -1

VERSE

Sometimes I feel life’s gone astray
I think back to the old times
we’d walk through fields without a care in the world
I’d reach out for you hand
and even when the drops of rain would roll down my window
I’d still feel sunshine flowing through all my veins
life was so simple

CHORUS

then the rain poured down and shattered me
stormy winds all blowing my way
the thunder and the lightning hit hard, please
don’t ever fall in love
you’d better walk away
look to the stars and follow their path away from love
love, love it will end in tears
you’re in love, boy in love, in love it can only end in tears,
and fears, and etc.

Break 

It’s easy now, its all gone past,
until it rears it’s ugly head & puts me through all that pain again
so I have made up my mind to steer clear of this thing called love
and I’ll live on in my island paradise

Verses  2

Sometimes I feel life’s gone astray
I think back to the old times
we’d walk through fields without a care in the world
I’m still reaching for your hand
