La inmormintarea lui Adrian Paunescu

2010-11-08T19:34:00.008+02:00

Am citit atitea comentarii negative cit si pozitive incit sa mai scriu si eu ceva pe tema asta cred ca ar fi inutil. Pentru mine Adrian Paunescu a fost omul cu vocea puternica de la televizor. Imi producea un asemenea impact, copil fiind, incit imi lasa impresia ca ceva important se produce acolo desi nu intelegeam exact ce. O mare forta, emotie, freamat plutea in aer de fiecare data cind urmaream Cenaclul Flacara. Mai tirziu i-am auzit pe ai mei vorbind de Adrian Paunescu ca ar fi avut atita putere sa miste masele incit asta l-ar fi speriat pe Nicolae Ceausescu si l-ar fi determinat sa inchida Cenaclul Flacara.
Mai imi amintesc de prietena mea din copilarie, Antonela, care achizitionase un volum imens (sau asa mi se parea mie) de poezii ale lui Adrian Paunescu si il admira sincer iar eu o admiram pe ea. In rest nu va voi spune eu cine a fost Adrian Paunescu ci va voi arata ce am vazut inainte de inmormintarea lui. Stiti, am avut curiozitatea aceea de a participa la inmormintarea unui om important si iata ce am vazut: inmormintarea s-a anuntat la ora 13:00 dar la ora 16:00 inca se tineau discursuri de adio. Pe cealalta parte oamenii s-au strins la groapa urcindu-se pe mormintele de marmura

Pe mausoleu

Sau cruce

Aici am prins o raza de lumina care pornea spre scena unde se afla trupul neinsufletit a lui Adrian Paunescu

Odihneste-te in pace, Adrian Paunescu!

MEGA IMAGE din strada Traian

2010-08-02T22:05:00.002+03:00

In timp ce admiram arhitectura caselor de pe Pache Protopopescu, strada Austrului, Popa Nan, Calea Calarasilor etc. mi s-a facut foame si sete, asa ca am luat-o spre strada Traian. Asa am descoperit existenta unui Mega Image in care am intrat bucuroasa, fiind mare amatoare de ciocolata lor belgiana, scumpa dar buna.
Am intrat in magazin cu gindul sa iau un sandvich dar mi-am dat seama ca am o nevoie mult mai urgenta asa ca am intrebat un lucrator din magazin daca exista vreo toaleta. Cu multa amabilitate mi-a aratat pe unde sa o iau, o intrare in capat pe dreapta, loc pe care nu l-as fi gasit fara indrumare, ne fiind nici un indicator.
Am intrat in toaleta unde am stat exact cit sa fac pipi si sa ma spal pe miini. La iesire ma astepta o femeie cu figura de taranca, trecuta de 50 de ani, fara sa ma salute ma ia la intrebari: "-Ati cerut voie sa mergeti la toaleta?".
Figura mea buimacita o binedispune si o face sa simta o oarecare autoritate pe care o exprima prin pozitia corpului.
"- E toaleta angajatilor, cine v-a dat voie sa o folositi?"
Femeia, angajata cu paza si ordine, nu arata nici un fel de interes pentru mine ca om dar nici ca potential cumparator, ma trateaza ca pe un cersetor. Ii spun (amintindu-mi ca am facut pipi si nu mai am motiv de panica) faptul ca un lucrator mi-a aratat toaleta altfel n-as fi stiut unde e, fiind prima mea vizita in acel loc (si ultima, parol).
Femeia se uita la mine si realizind ca nu mai are ce sa imi faca ma lasa sa plec. Plec incercind sa depasesc starea de umilinta tocmai incercata. Incerc sa imi spun ca femeia nu are nimic cu mine, doar isi face meseria. Observ ca mi-a trecut si foame, nu mai imi vine sa cumpar nimic din magazin. Imi vine doar imaginea femeii pe retina si ma intreb cum e posibil ca cineva sa te trateze in felul asta, intr-un magazin cu iz de tara civilizata. Ma uit pe rafturi dar imi dau seama ca vreau doar sa ies din magazin sa respir aer curat. La iesire, surpriza! Femeia cu fata de taranca ma astepta la usa. Imi cere sa ii arat ce am in micul meu rucsac. Probabil ca ma inverzisem la fata pentru ca, din vocea autoritara pe care o avea femeia, a inceput sa vorbeasca un om umil:
"- Ati intrat la baie, spune ea, puteati pune ceva acolo in geanta" (ce?un sul de hirtie igienica??capacul de la toaleta???)
"Va rog sa ma intelegeti, este toaleta pentru personal, nu am voie sa va las la toaleta decit cu acordul directorului."
Ce noroc avusesem! Parca ma si vedeam cu picioarele strinse sa nu fac pipi in timp ce asteptam aprobarea directorului. Iar acesta, plictisit de tot timpul liber pe care il are dar revigorat ca in sfirsit a aparut o ocazie de a iesi din monotonie, decide (nu se stie pe ce criterii) daca primesc aprobarea sa fac pipi la toaleta sau direct pe podea (uneori tre` sa fim realisti, sint mai putine optiuni decit ai crede).
Ii arat ce am in rucsacel. Cheile si prin portofelul deschis se vedeau citeva sute de lei inghesuite in el. A fost rindul ei sa se inverzeasca.
La iesirea din magazin aerul proaspat m-a linistit si apoi mici stropi de ploaie au inceput sa cada. La citiva pasi un cuplu, el ii ridica fetei gluga cu multa tandrete astfel incit sa nu ii deranjeze parul. Mai incolo, doua fetite intrate in acelasi pulover pentru a se feri de ploaie, isi sincronizau pasii amuzindu-se de gaselinta lor. Viata e frumoasa, asa ca adio Mega Image, bun venit Auchan, Cora, Real.

poveste adevarata (de pe net):)

2009-05-09T00:34:00.002+03:00

Un barbat care detinea un apartament in plin buricul Parisului, se hotaraste ca e timpul sa faca o schimbare, si anume sa-si ia o nevasta noua, deoarece aceea pe care o avea se cam invechise. Stiti cum e – vine o vreme cand, intr-o casnicie prea lunga, totul incepe sa-ti puta.
Dupa ceva scandal cu consoarta, enfin, aceasta admite actiunea, cu conditia sa-i cumpere o garsoniera mai modesta si sa ia ea toate lucrurile din casa. Partile ajung de acord, civilizati ca niste francezi, si el pleaca pentru cateva zile de acasa, pentru a o lasa sa isi mute lucrurile in liniste. Femeia, recent divortata, isi petrecu prima zi impachetindu-si lucrurile in cutii si valize.A doua zi a venit un camion si a incarcat totul, inclusiv mobila. A treia zi, s-a asezat pe jos, in sufrageria goala, a pus muzica in surdina, a asezat doua luminari, doua kile de creveti, un kil de fruits-de-mer, o farfurie de icre si o sticla de Champagne pusa la gheata. A baut sampania, dar i-a fost cam greata sa manance tot ceea ce cumparase. Dupa ce a baut si ultimul pahar, a demontat toate barele de la perdelele din fiecare camera, le-a scos capacele laterale, a indesat inauntru icrele, crevetii si fructele-de-mare, a pus capacele la loc si a asezat din nou barele la geamuri.
Cind s-a intors, fostul sot s-a mutat cu noua lui sotie si cu noua lui mobila. In primele zile totul fu perfect.
Insa in curind, incet, incet, casa a inceput sa puta. Toata casa.
Au incercat de toate: au facut curatenie, au aerisit... Au adus firme specializate, au schimbat parchetul... Au varuit toate camerele, au schimbat gurile de ventilatie pentru eventualitatea ca s-ar putea gasi soareci morti inauntru, au spalat covoarele... In fiecare coltisor din casa au pus deodorante electrice, au golit zeci de butelii de parfum scump... Au cheltuit apoi o gramada de bani sa schimbe covoarele.... In zadar.
Nimic nu functiona.
Nimeni nu le mai venea in vizita, hainele incepura sa le miroasa si atunci cand se duceau la serviciu, si pana si fata care facea curatenie in casa, i-a abandonat.
De altfel, in curand, si noua si frumoasa lui sotie, exasperata, l-a abandonat.
Barbatul incerca sa scape de acest blestem si sa vanda apartamentul.
Dupa o luna inca nu gasise pe nimeni dispus sa cumpere casa. Cei de la agentiile imobiliare nici nu mai raspundeau la telefoanele lui.
Viata devenise ingrozitoare, un infern in care parca si gandurile lui incepusera sa puta.
Intr-o zi, dupa cateva luni, fosta lui sotie il suna ca din intamplare si in treacat il intreba cum o mai duce.
El ii raspunde ca vinde casa, fara insa a-i da vreo explicatie.
Ea il asculta calma, apoi ii zice ca, daca nu ii cere prea mult, ar fi ea interesata sa cumpere casa.
Banuind ca ea n-are nici o idee de adevaratul motiv pentru care o vinde, ii propune a cincea parte din pretul real al locuintei, ca sa scape cat mai repede.
Femeia ii raspunde ca nu are atatia bani si ca ii ofera a zecea parte din pretul real. Fostul sot accepta, fara sa mai discute.
De data aceasta sotul isi impacheteaza toate lucrurile si se muta undeva, cu chirie, la periferie, unde gasise o doamna mai in varsta dornica sa-l gazduiasca, si care ii facea ochi dulci. Cand sa isi ia si ultimele ciuveie de prin casa, apare prima sotie, cu o sticla de sampanie si doua pahare. Ca o adevarata doamna, ii ofera si lui un pahar, apoi, cand sa plece de tot, ii aduce aminte:
- Vezi ca ai uitat sa iei galeriile de la perdea. Ia-le si pe acestea.
Sotul ii multumeste pentru corectitudine, ia galeriile metalice si pleaca.

Este dragostea de la bun inceput cea care ii uneste pe parteneri, iar sexul doar un accesoriu, sau este cumva mai intai nevoie de cunoastere reciproca, de sex si timp petrecut impreuna pentru a descoperi compatibilitatile cu celalat pentru a se putea naste dragostea? Cand sentimentele sunt mai puternice, la inceput cand fiecare este impins de o motivatie sau alta fata de celalalt, sau cele de dupa, cand fiecare ajunge sa il cunoasca mai bine pe celalat, sa aiba libertatea de a alege mai putin dependent de feromoni, hormonii sau frustrarile care te invadeaza? Are oare mintea noastra nevoie de o intreaga poveste pentru a justifica nevoia de sex sau suntem cu adevarat inapti a iubi rational, a cauta ce este bine si ce nu in relatia cu celalat, a considera sexul un accesoriu si nu o conditie pentru reusita relatiei cu partenerul? Poate exista dragostea fara sex?

(orice asemanare cu personaje reale este absolut intamplatoare)

Exista suflet pereche?

2009-01-05T19:27:00.003+02:00

Cum ar arata doua suflete pereche daca ar exista? Ca un surub cu piulita lui pereche? Potrivirea perfecta? Personal nu cred in suflete pereche. Cred in relatia perfecta a momentului prezent.
Uita-te la perechea ta (daca ai). Este exact ce ti-ai dorit. Intrupeaza calitatile pe care le-ai admirat. Ai atras cu mintea si dorinta ta acea persoana care are calitatile pe care le admiri si doreste sa fie alaturi de tine prin aceeasi rezonanta (si-a dorit pe cineva care sa aiba cel putin o parte din calitatile pe care le ai tu). Universul a facut restul.

Poate ca are si o gramada de defecte la care nu te-ai gandit dar stii ce? ele sunt cele mai pretioase, te ajuta sa te cunosti. Detestand ceva in partenerul tau mai ai doar un singur pas pentru a constientiza ca ceea ce detesti exista deja in tine. Urmatorul pas este de a accepta acel lucru ca facand parte din tine si a fi ok cu asta fara sa ii dai importanta, iar daca iti iubesti partenerul atunci integrarea lucrurilor pe care le gasesti detestabile la partener si implicit la tine s-ar desfasura intr-un ritm plin de iubire. Am sa ma gandesc la un exemplu... Sa spunem ca iubirea vietii tale (din prezent) isi pune guma de mestecat oriunde prin casa, pe biroul tau, pe monitorul calculatorului, pe gura de la pahar... ce mai, in alte conditii ar fi o oroare sa vezi asa ceva.... Dar e fiinta iubita, stii? Iei guma aia cu drag... o arunci sau eventual o pastrezi ca pe o relicva. Energia ta nu va mai ramane blocata cand vei vedea pe altcineva ca isi lasa guma de mestecat lipita aiurea ci te va cuprinde un val de caldura gandindu-te la iubirea ta... Poti pune orice alt comportament sau trasatura de caracter in locul gumei de mestecat. Este integrarea cea mai placuta mie, prin iubire. .

Tine minte asta: ceea ce urasti in celalalt urasti de fapt in tine. Acest lucru produce blocaje in loc sa lase energia sa circule liber prin tine. Asta inseamna ca dai mai putin randament, ca nu ai energia necesara pentru a realiza ceea ce iti doresti cu adevarat, ca ai o piatra de moara legata de gat si te plimbi cu ea asa toata viata. Si daca esti ghinionist tare, cu timpul, piatra aia de gatul tau se mareste. Iti doresti o piatra legata de gat toata viata? Arunc-o acum! Fii fericit cu ceea ce esti! Iubeste-te!

De ce?

2008-12-24T16:20:00.008+02:00

Acest blog nu are un "auditoriu", nu ii fac reclama, desi imi imaginez cand scriu ca ma adresez unui public numeros. Traficul fantastic este facut de vizitatorii straini iubitori de hituri vechi, de cei care ajung aici din intamplare si de fidelul meu cititor Vlad care, intr-un moment de puternicie, m-a sters de pe lista lui de messenger si intr-un alt moment de slabiciune m-a adaugat, fapt care m-a facut sa ma intreb de ce si eu, la randul meu, nu pot sta deoparte de cei care imi fac rau...
"De ce" este o intrebare stupida, inutila... este necesar a fi inlocuita cu: ce beneficii am din lucrul respectiv de nu pot renunta la el... Si totusi, de data asta, "de ce" si-a meritat existenta... Mi-a venit in minte un vis pe care l-am avut cu ceva timp in urma si abia acum inteleg felul in care s-a terminat.
Visul a fost cam asa: eram intr-o casa mare cu multe paturi, unele erau goale, altele nu, iar eu ocupam unul din aceste paturi. Pentru mine era ca un fel de tabara, distractiv, relaxant, asa ca nu m-am intrebat ce caut acolo pana cand un tanar a venit la mine si mi-a spus ca murisem si acela era un loc intre lumi. Sceptica, i-am spus ca daca eram morti nu am fi purtat aceasta conversatie. Atunci, cu un singur gest mi-a indreptat atentia spre un obiect dintr-un fel de metal ce arata ca o placuta militara ce statea agatata de geaca mea printr-un fir, in interior avand crestate valuri si punand placuta lui langa a mea a spus "uite, avem aceeasi karma". Cu asemenea argument n-am mai avut nici o indoiala ca am murit. Placuta nu se putea afla acolo decat daca murisem cu adevarat asa cum as fi sigura ca am murit daca m-as afla intinsa pe masa dintr-o morga, fara rasuflare, cu hartiuta pe care scrie numele meu agatata de un deget al piciorului. Inainte sa plece, baiatul m-a sfatuit sa nu vorbesc cu cei din casa alaturata pentru ca imi pot face rau. Am iesit afara si fata in fata cu casa in care ma aflasem era o alta casa, identica, pe scarile careia stateau niste oameni posomorati, fara vlaga, tristi, in pozitii chircite. Unul dintre ei s-a apropiat de mine si am inceput sa vorbim. Mi-am spus ca am credinta puternica si nimic nu mi se poate intampla. Am inceput sa vorbesc cu el. In timp ce vorbeam cuvintele baiatului au inceput sa prinda amploare, teama sa cuprinda sufletul si atunci am inceput sa ma rog. Asa m-am trezit, rugandu-ma in patul meu si fiind cuprinsa de o puternica confuzie... cum puteam fi in patul meu daca murisem?
Mi-a luat ceva timp sa imi reglez realitatea.

Si totusi... daca as fi stat departe de "oamenii rai" m-as mai fi trezit din vis? Si daca nu, asta ar fi fost un lucru rau? Oare Moartea este un lucru rau? Ce stim noi? Ne pricepem grozav de bine sa impartim lucrurile in bine si rau... si... lucrul asta o fi bine? o fi rau?

Question 5

Osho,
Why are you called the master of masters?

Reverend Banana, Michael Potato Singh, Michael Tomato; dear gentlemen or ladies as the case may be... Because nobody yet has been able to decide whether these fellows are gentlemen or ladies.

It is a difficult question. I had to look in the Akashic records, and not in the past Akashic records-- because it is not recorded there--but in the future Akashic records. This is a future story. Listen carefully.

It happened in Moksha, the ultimate resting place of the awakened ones. A journalist for the local newspaper, THE NIRVANA TIMELESS, was desperately seeking material to fill up the center page of the next edition which was due to appear in twenty-five hundred years. There was not much news around in Moksha, and soon he realized that he would have to make something up himself if the center page was not to be left empty again, as it had been for countless ages.
Finally, he hit on the idea of choosing which of the many Buddhas, Arhatas, Bodhisattvas, Christs, Kutubs and other enlightened beings abounding in the lotus paradise was the Master of Masters--in short, a spiritual Mr. Universe competition.

He summoned all the enlightened ones together and asked them to encapsulate in a short phrase the essence of their teaching, which would entitle them to the title of Master of Masters. There was, as usual, a deep silence which lasted a few hundred years. Finally a Zen Master stood forward and hit the journalist hard on the head. This was considered to be well deserved, but not very original.

Another hundred years passed and then a Sufi stood up and began to whirl. Unfortunately he was out of training,and after a couple of months he fell plat on his face, causing some merriment among the Hassidic Masters, who had been surreptitiously pouring oil on the floor to bring the uppity Arab down.

After some goading by Manjushree and Subhuti, Buddha slowly stood up and addressed the gathering in the following way: "There is no teaching and no one to be taught. There is no Master and nothing to master. Nothing can be said; there is no one to hear it." Then he held up a flower and Mahakashyap giggled as usual. Many applauded the Buddha, but to the journalist it did not appear like the kind of news which would help him to sell his paper. One after another the enlightened ones came forward to make their bids for the title. Moses gave a few new commandments. Bodhidharma stared at a wall for ninety years. Jesus made a mountain out of a molehill and delivered a sermon from it. Diogenes displayed his suntan. Shiva and Parvati ran through one hundred and twelve new positions they had invented. Gurdjieff drank twenty bottles of brandy, then walked on his hands on a tightroope over the plenum void, smiling with the left side of his face and grimacing with the right. Lao Tzu had a good belly laugh at all these antics. Mansoor would not stop shouting "Ana'l Haq! Ana'l Haq!" and finally had to be put in a straitjacket and givem a couple of valium. Vatsyayana gave himself a blow job to the demonstrate existentially that sex and samadhi were manifestations of the same energy--and so on.

It proved impossible to choose which of the awakened ones was the Master of Masters,and since even the journalist had attained to choiceless awareness long ago. But the day seemed saved when Teertha, a relative newcomer from England, stood up and declared with typical British diplomacy, "The greatest Master is the one who has yet to come." Suddenly an Indian mahatma jumped to his feet and cried triumphantly, "Then it must be me--for I have been celibate for eighty-four million lives."

By unanimous agreement the awakened ones decided that the mahatma's samadhi was not yet "seedless", and he was dispelled back to samsara to spill his seed once for all.

Just as the mahatma disappeared from sight, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh came out of his room, where he had been sitting all this time, and made his way towards a small marble podium in the corner of the hall. A deathly hush gripped the audience, and even Mansoor shut up. If a look of dread could be said to cloud those tranquil eyes, this is what happened to the gathering.

As Bhagwan sat down and leaned towards the microphone, a cry arose from Mahavira, "Wait! Wait! We proclaim you Master of Masters! Now please go back to your room."

Bhagwan smiled innocently and left the hall. There was a sigh of relief.

The journalist turned to Mahavira in consternation: "I don't understand. Why did he get the title? What did he do?"

"Nothing", said Mahavira, "but the last time he spoke here with us it took us seven hundred years to get him to stop, and send him to Poona!"

It's My Party

Imi place melodia asta, o ascult aproape in fiecare an. E ca o petrecere data tristetii, doua aspecte contrare si existente in acelasi timp. Nu stiu cum sunt altii dar eu sunt trista de ziua mea. Uneori plang ore in sir. Azi n-am plans desi nu cred ca m-am mai simtit vreodata atat de singura. Cu toate astea persoanele dragi m-au felicitat. Chiar si tata care nu-si aminteste nici macar ziua lui...
Azi n-am fost trista.

Am vrut sa scriu despre "Inteligenta sociala" dar sunt practic terminata... Vin de la inmormantarea prietenei mele Mihaela, care a murit intr-un accident montan.
Am plans la marginea mormantului ei. Am pierdut un om extraordinar din viata mea dar multumesc si sunt nespus de recunoscatoare ca mi s-a dat ocazia, mie, unei neputincioase fiinte, sa o cunosc si sa am onoarea de a ma numi prietena ei.

Marele Surdomut

2008-05-28T10:03:00.001+03:00

Mi-e dor de tine si sunt trist
Si-ascult cind Rush, cind Judas Priest
Tu cea mai dulce-ntre femei
Ce pot sa-mi spuna astazi ei?
Ascult concert dupa concert
Ca sa te uit, ca sa te iert
Si parca faci spre mine pasi
Cand canta Judas Priest sau Rush
Dar nu sunt trupe nici in hau
Sa tina loc de trupul tau.
Nebunii lumii canta multi
Dar tu acum, ce mai asculti?
Vei trece veacul si-ai sa mori
Tu,viata mea de-atatea ori,
De care si acum sunt trist
Si-ascult cind Rush, cand Judas Priest.
Hai la concert, hai la concert
Cu muzica sa te dezmierd
Si sa visez ca vei canta,
Macar ca nu mai esti a mea
Si-abia tarziu, tarziu de tot
Cand sa te vad n-am sa mai pot,
Sa aflu ca erai ce-ai fost
Si eu naiv si-aproape prost.
Si tu sa afli ca eram
Anomalia unui neam
Ca tot ce-n viata am facut
Faceam ca simplu surdomut.
Si n-auzeam deloc ce zic
Nici Rush, nici Judas Priest, nimic
Dar ca, iubindu-te atat,
Nimic nu aparea urat.
Nici trupele de peste hau
Vai, nu erau ca trupul tau.

OMUL CARE NU CREDEA IN IUBIRE

2008-05-23T21:53:00.003+03:00

As dori sa va povestesc o poveste foarte veche,despre omul care nu credea in iubire.Acesta era un om obisnuit,la fel ca dumneavoastra si ca mine,dar ceea ce il facea sa fie cu adevarat deosebit era felul sau unic de a gandi:el nu credea ca exista iubire. Evident, a avut o sumendenie de experiente in incercarea de a gasi iubirea; mai mult i-a observat si pe oamenii din jurul sau. Si-a petrecut o mare parte din viata cautand iubirea, dar singurul lucru pe care l-a descoperit a fost ca aceasta nu exista.
Oriunde se ducea eroul nostru, el le povestea oamenilor ca iubirea nu este decat o inventie a poetilor, un concept creat de religii pentru a-i manipula pe cei slabi, pentru a-i controla, pentru a-i face sa creada. El le spunea ca iubirea nu este reala, si deci nimeni nu o poate gasi, oricat de mult ar cauta-o.
Omul nostru avea o inteligenta foarte vie si era foarte convingator. El a citit o gramada de carti, s-a dus la cele mai bune universitati si a devenit astfel un savant reputat. Putea vorbi in orice piata publica, in fata a tot felul de oameni, iar logica sa era foarte puternica. El le spunea ca iubirea este ca un drog, te ameteste si te face sa o doresti din nou si din nou, creandu-ti o dependenta de ea. Ce se intampla insa daca nu-ti primesti portia zilnica de dragoste? La fel ca in cazul unui drog, ai nevoie de acesta doza zilnica. Le mai spunea ca relatiile dintre indragostiti sunt la fel ca si cele dintre un dependent de droguri si un vanzator de droguri. Cel care are nevoie mai mare de iubire este precum cel dependent de droguri, iar cel care are o nevoie mai mica de iubire este precum vanzatorul de droguri. Cu cat nevoia de iubire este mai mica, cu atat mai bine poti controla relatia cu celalalt. Aceasta dinamica a relatiilor interumane poate fi vazuta cu ochiul liber, caci in oricare relatie exista un partener care iubeste mai mult si un altul care nu iubeste deloc, dar il manipuleaza pe celalalt. Unii oameni profita asadar de pe urma altora, la fel cum un vanzator de droguri profita de pe urma toxicomanilor.
Partenerul dependent, cel care are nevoie mai mare de iubire, traieste tot timpul cu teama constanta ca nu isi va putea asigura urmatoarea doza de dragoste, adica de drog. "Ce ma voi face daca ma va parasi?". Teama il face dependentul de iubire foarte posesiv:,,Imi apartine!''. El devine astfel gelos si solicitant, din cauza fricii de a nu pierde urmatoarea doza. Furnizorul de drog il poate manipula cum doreste, dandu-i mai multe sau mai putine doze, ori refuzandu-i-le complet. In acest fel, partenerul care are nevoie de iubire se va preda complet si va fi dispus sa faca orice, de teama de a nu fi abandonat.
Eroul nostru a continuat sa le explice ascultatorilor de ce nu exista iubirea:,,Ceea ce numesc oamenii iubire nu este altceva decat o relatie de teama care are la baza controlul. Unde este respectul reciproc? Unde este iubirea pe care sustin ca si-o poarta cei doi parteneri? Nu exista sa ceva. In fata reprezentantilor lui Dumnezeu, a rudelor si prietenilor lor, cuplurile tinere fac tot felul de promisiuni, ca vor trai impreuna, ca se vor iubi si se vor respecta reciproc, ca vor fi aproape unul de celalalt, la bine si la rau. Ei promit sa se iubeasca si sa se respecte reciproc, si culmea e ca ei chiar cred in aceste promisiuni, menite parca sa fie incalcate. Imediat dupa casatorie, la numai o saptamana sau o luna, amandoi incep sa isi incalce promisiunile facute.
Totul se reduce la un razboi al controlului, la cine reuseste sa manipuleze pe cine. Cine va fi furnizorul de droguri si cine toxicomanul. Dupa numai cateva luni, respectul pe care si l-au promis initial cei doi a disparut. In urma lui nu a mai ramas decat resentimente, otrava emotionala, rani reciproce, care cresc treptat, pana cand iubirea nu mai exista deloc. Ei raman totusi impreuna, dar numai de teama de a nu fi singuri, de frica de ceea ce vor spune ceilalti, si chiar de teama propriilor critici si pareri. Unde se mai poate vorbi insa de iubire?
Si astfel, eroul nostru a continuat sa peroreze despre motivele pentru care nu credea ca exista iubire. El le-a mai spus oamenilor:..Eu am trecut prin toate acestea. De acum nu voi mai permite nimanui sa-mi manipuleze mintea si sa imi controleze viata in numele iubirii''. Argumentele lui erau logice, si el a convins multa lume prin cuvintele sale. Iubirea nu exista...
Partea a doua
Intr-o buna zi insa, eroul nostru se plimba prin parc. El vazu acolo, asezata pe banca, o fata frumoasa care plangea. Vazand-o cum plange, s-a simtit curios. De aceea, s-a asezat langa ea si a intrebat-o daca poate s-o ajute cumva. Va puteti imagina surpriza lui cand ea i-a spus ca plange pentru ca iubirea nu exista. ,,Uimitor,i-a raspuns el, o femeie care crede ca iubirea nu exista!''. Evident, a dorit sa afle mai multe despre ea.
-De ce spui ca iubirea nu exista? a intrebat-o el.
-Ei, e o poveste lunga, i-a raspuns ea. M-am casatorit pe cand eram foarte tanara, cu toata iubirea, cu toate acele iluzii, plina de speranta la gandul ca imi voi imparti viata cu acel barbat. Ne-am jurat reciproc loialitate, respect si credinta, si am intemeiat o familie. Dar in curand totul s-a schimbat. Eu am fost sotia credincioasa, care avea grija de copii si de casa, in timp ce sotul meu a continuat sa se ocupe de cariera. Pentru el, imaginea si succesul erau mai importante decat familia noastra. A incetat sa ma mai respecte, le fel cum am incetat si eu sa il mai respect pe el. Am inceput sa ne certam, iar la un moment dat am descoperit ca nu il mai iubesc, la fel cum nici el nu ma mai iubeste pe mine. Dar copiii aveau nevoie de un tata, asa ca am preferat sa raman alaturi de el si sa fac tot ce imi sta in putere sa-l suport. Acum copiii eu crescut si au plecat, nu mai am nici un motiv sa raman alaturi de el. Intre noi nu exista respect si bunatate. Stiu insa ca daca imi voi gasi pe altcineva, va fi la fel, caci iubirea nu exista. Nu are nici un sens sa caut ceva ce nu exista. De aceea plang.
Intelegand perfect, el a imbratisat-o si i-a spus:
-Ai dreptate:iubirea nu exista. Noi cautam iubire,ne deschidem inimile si deveni astfel vulnerabili. In locul ei, tot ce descoperim este egoismul. Acesta ne raneste, chiar daca suntem convinsi ca ne vom putea detasa. Oricate relatii am avea, acelasi lucru se petrece din nou si din nou.De ce sa ne mai obosim sa cautam iubirea?
Cei doi gandeau la fel, asa ca s-au imprietenit rapid. Intre ei s-a creat o relatie frumoasa. Se respectau reciproc si nu s-au dezamagit niciodata. Pe masura ce relatia avansa, ei deveneau din ce in ce mai fericiti impreuna. Nu stiau ce este invidia sau gelozia. Nici unul nu incerca sa il controleze pe celalalt, nu erau deloc posesivi. Relatia dintre ei a continuat astfel sa se aprofundeze. Le placea sa fie impreuna, caci viata li se parea mult mai amuzanta astfel. Cand nu erau impreuna, ceva lipsea din viata fiecaruia dintre ei.
Intr-o zi, pe cand era plecat in oras, eroului nostru i-a trecut prin cap o idee absolut ciudata:,,Hm,poate ca ceea ce simt eu pentru ea este iubirea. Dar e o senzatie atat de diferita de ceea ce simteam inainte. Nu are nimic de-a face cu ceea ce descriu poetii, nici nu ceea ce afirma religia, caci nu ma simt deloc responsabil pentru ea. Nu iau nimic de la ea, nu simt nevoia ca ea sa aiba grija de mine, nu imi vine sa-mi vars frustrarile asupra ei pentru esecurile mele sau pentru probleme mele personale. Petrecem atat de bine impreuna. Ne bucuram fiecare de prezenta celuilalt. Eu respect felul in care gandeste ea, felul in care simte. Nu ma simt deloc stanjenit alaturi de ea, nu ma agaseaza niciodata. Nu ma simt gelos cand este cu alti barbati. Nu simt invidie atunci cand are succes. Poate ca iubirea exista totusi, dar este altceva decat cred oamenii.''
De-abia astepta sa ajunga acasa si sa-i spuna de ideea ciudata care i-a trecut prin cap. Nici nu a inceput bine sa vorbeasca si ea i-a luat vorba din gura:
-Stiu exact ce vrei sa spui. Mi-a trecut si mie prin cap aceeasi idee, cu mult timp in urma, dar nu am vrut sa-ti spun, caci stiam ca nu crezi in iubire. Poate ca iubirea exista totusi, dar nu este ceea ce credeam noi ca este.
Cei doi s-au decis sa devina amanti si sa traiasca impreuna, si au ramas uimiti sa constate ca lucrurile nu s-au inrautatit in nici un fel. Au continuat sa se respecte reciproc, sa se sprijine unul pe celalalt, iar iubirea dintre ei a crescut continuu. Chiar si cele mai simple lucruri le umpleau inimile de bucurie, caci erau atat de fericiti.
EPILOG
Inima barbatului era atat de plina de iubirea pe care o simtea, incat intr-o noapte s-a produs un mare miracol. Privea stelele si a descoperit una care era incredibil de frumoasa, iar inima lui era atat de plina de iubire incat steaua a inceput sa coboare si s-a asezat in palma lui. Apoi s-a produs un al doilea miracol: sufletul lui a fuzionat cu steaua respectiva. Era extrem de fericit, si de-abia astepta sa se duca la iubita lui si sa-i daruiasca steaua, ca semn al iubirii sale pentru ea. Cand el i-a daruit steaua, femeia a simtit un moment de indoiala; iubirea lui era prea coplesitoare, si atunci, steaua a cazut pe pamant si s-a spart intr-un milion de cioburi.
MORALA
Cine a comis greseala? Puteti ghici? Greseala i-a apartinut barbatului, care a crezut ca ii poate darui femeii fericirea lui. Steaua nu era altceva decat propria lui fericire, iar greseala lui a fost ca e renuntat la ea si a asezat-o in mainile ei. Fericirea nu vine niciodata din afara noastra. El era fericit datorita iubirii care tasnea din inima lui. Ea era fericita datorita iubirii care tasnea din inima ei. Cand el a facut-o insa pe ea responsabila pentru fericirea lui, ea a spart steaua, caci nu putea fi responsabila pentru fericirea lui. Indiferent cat de mult il iubea femeia, ea nu il putea face fericit, caci nu avea de unde sa stie ce e in mintea lui. Ea nu putea sti care erau asteptarile lui, caci nu ii cunostea visele.
Daca veti proceda la fel, luandu-va fericirea si punand-o in mainile unei alte persoane, mai devreme sau mai tarziu ea se va sparge. Daca ii daruiti altcuiva fericirea voastra, persoana respectiva v-o poate fura. Pe de alta parte, de vreme ce fericirea se naste in interior si este rezultatul iubirii voastre, sunteti unici responsabili pentru ea. Nu aveti dreptul sa faceti niciodata responsabil pe altcineva pentru ea.
Aceasta este greseala pe care o comit majoritatea oamenilor de la bun inceput. Noi ne bazam fericirea pe celalalt. Din pacate, lucrurile nu merg in acest fel. Noi facem tot felul de promisiuni pe care nu le putem respecta, dupa care ne miram ca am esuat.

Probabil ca de multe ori ati gasit tot felul de scuze barbatilor pentru ca nu v-au sunat asa cum au promis, pentru ca nu v-au scos in oras, pentru ca se poarta ca un porc insensibil, ca un super ciudat sau chiar v-au umilit. Nu le mai gasiti scuze!
Trebuie sa va spun ceva... Barbatilor le place sa alerge dupa fuste si li se pare extrem de satisfacator sa obtina ceea ce-si doresc mai ales daca alergarea este lunga, si nu le place sa stie daca o sa le prinda.
Deci tine minte:
- daca vrea sa te gaseasca te va gasi.
- "nu vreau sa stricam prietenia" e vrajeala pentru ca daca suntem intr-adevar atrasi de cineva, nu ne putem abtine, vrem mai mult.
- crezi ca e doar speriat sau timid? este posibil ca Ghita Soarecele de Birou sau Florica de la Dezinsectie sa fie necesar sa-i ghidati catre castronul cu posmagi, dar sa nu care cumva sa ii ajutati sa-i manance.
- te suna dar nu te invita in oras? nu te vrea! daca un tip te place cu adevarat numai ca din motive personale trebuie sa ia lucrurile mai incet, o sa ti-o comunice imediat. Nu o sa te lase sa ghicesti, fiindca vrea sa se asigure ca nu o sa te simti frustrata, riscand astfel sa te piarda.
- iti lasa telefonul lui sa il suni tu? Nu il lasa sa te vrajeasca sa il scoti tu pe el in oras. Daca un barbat te vrea cu adevarat, va face tot ce e nevoie, daca nu, e pierdere de vreme. Si stii de ce? Pentru ca esti o tipa grozava (acum vezi sa nu ti se urce la cap).
- unii tipi mint de ingheata apele, altii chiar sunt sinceri. Uite cum poti face diferenta: poti fi sigura ca sunt sinceri atunci cand fac intr-adevar ce au spus ca vor face. De exemplu, daca spune ca te va suna, te suna si nu oricand, ci atunci cand a promis. Daca justifica faptul ca nu te-a sunat pentru ca a fost ocupat, afla ca barbatii nu sunt niciodata atat de ocupati incat sa nu aiba timp sa obtina ceea ce isi doresc, adica pe femeia de care sunt interesati cu adevarat.
(P.S. meriti sa primesti un amarat de telefon si oare nu iti doresti un barbat care uita mai degraba de toate celelalte lucruri din viata sa inainte de a uita de tine?)
- oamenii spun cum sunt tot timpul. Daca un tip iti spune ca nu poate fi monogam ar trebui sa-l crezi!
- nu te vrea daca se culca cu alta! Sa inseli e urat. Daca are o problema in ceea ce priveste relatia voastra ar fi trebuit sa discute cu tine, nu sa-si plaseze hormonii in alta parte. Nu lasati nici un barbat sa va invinuiasca pentru propriile infidelitati. Daca a decis sa te insele ti-a dat o dovada clara despre ce importanta are pentru el relatia voastra.
Daca esti intr-o relatie monogama, stabilita de comun acord, si partenerul te inseala inseamna ca s-a decis sa dispretuiasca in mod evident o decizie luata impreuna. Mai mult, a ales sa o faca pe la spatele tau, folosindu-se de minciuni si secrete. Hai sa spunem adulterului pe nume: este de fapt o totala tradare a increderii. Cei care inseala sunt persoane cu o groaza de probleme, care au ales sa le rezolve pe spinarea timpului si a sentimentelor tale. Unii vor incerca sa-si gaseasca scuze, altii nici atat, iar altii chiar vor incerca sa arunce vina pe tine, insa greselile altora nu sunt responsabilitatea ta.
Cei care inseala nu au parte de noroc (pentru ca sunt de 2 bani).

("Tu il vrei, el nu te vrea" - Greg Behrendt, Ed. Kondyli)

---------------------------------later edit--------------------------------------------

Pentru ca am primit un mesaj de la Vlad, un cititor infocat (probabil unicul meu cititor), m-am gandit ca ar fi interesant sa redeschid acest subiect.
Extrasul de mai sus din cartea "Tu il vrei, el nu te vrea" este realmente destinat femeilor.
Femeile au nevoie de iubire in viata lor, de stabilitate, de sustinere... si in mod constient sau mai putin constient, ele cauta barbati pe care se pot baza, in care pot avea incredere, in bratele carora se pot abandona fara teama de a fi parasite a doua zi.
Desigur, sunt si femei care si-au propus sa nu se mai implice niciodata din cauza suferintelor produse de o mare dezamagire. Am auzit si barbati spunand asta.
Fiecare decide pentru el cum sa traiasca, nu?
Dar iata ca printre acesti barbati avem si "gagicari". Acesti "gagicari" isi propun sa seduca femeia pana aceasta se culca cu ei dupa care "dispar" de unde au venit si femeia ramane nedumerita: "Cum adica, nu m-a iubit? Nu se poate! Toate acele lucruri frumoase care s-au intamplat intre noi nu poate sa fie o simpla minciuna!" etc. Astfel ele refuza sa vada adevarul si sa il accepte, iar cartea asta "Tu il vrei, el nu te vrea" vine in ajutorul lor, pentru a le ajuta sa depaseasca situatia, pentru a merge mai departe.
Sa te agati cu disperare de gatul unui barbat care nu te mai vrea se numeste obsesie. Lasa-l sa plece daca asta isi doreste. El pierde, nu tu. Viata lui va fi mai goala fara afectiunea ta. Iar tu vei iesi in castig cautand persoana potrivita care are nevoie de ceea ce ai tu de oferit.

Daca pentru seducerea femeilor de catre barbati am gasit carti, articole, sfaturi etc., pentru seducerea barbatilor de catre femei am gasit material putin si slabut care nu a adus nimic nou pana cand am dat peste cartea "MANUALUL (Unui "Baiat Rau")" de Steve Santagati aparut la Editura Kondyli.
Si cu toate astea nu este o carte pentru femei 100%. Daca o cititi cu atentie veti gasi multe sfaturi pentru barbati.
Tot mai multe femei sunt singure asteptand sa fie seduse. In "Manualul (Unui "Baiat Rau")" sunt invatate ce sa faca, cum sa se imbrace, in cel locuri sa se plimbe, cum sa abordeze ele primele fara ca sa ii fie luata initiativa barbatului.
Daca prima carte "Tu il vrei, el nu te vrea" te ajuta sa nu te mai minti in legatura cu relatia voastra, in "Manualul (Unui "Baiat Rau")" esti invatata cum sa incepi o alta relatie, relativ repede, fara sa astepti inchisa in castelul tau de fildes sa te salveze Fat-Frumos.

Miracolul apei

2008-05-18T14:33:00.007+03:00

In filmul "What the Bleep Do We Know?" sunt prezentate cateva din imaginile facute de Dr. Masaru Emoto.
Dr. Masaru Emoto a facut un experiment folosind tehnici fotografice de mare viteza si a observat ca atunci cand sunt indreptate catre apa anumite ganduri sau cuvinte acestea pot modifica forma cristelelor de apa.
De exemplu apa din izvoarele limpezi si cea expusa cuvintelor de iubire prezintă modele de cristale stralucitoare, frumoase, complexe şi viu colorate, în forma fulgilor de zapada.
Apa poluata, cea statuta din conductele de apa sau cea expusa gandurilor negative formeaza modele haotice, asimetrice, in culori lipsite de stralucire.
Apa este cea mai receptiva dintre cele 4 elemente. Daca ne gandim ca aprox 70% din organismul nostru este apa atunci realizam si faptul ca putem influenta apa din organismul nostru in bine sau in rau prin gandurile pe care le emitem noi sau cei din anturajul nostru.
Ba chiar mai mult, inainte sa bem din cana cu apa putem transmite un gand de iubire, multumire sau sanatate.
"Întotdeauna am subliniat faptul că energia înseamnă vibraţii, iar vibraţiile înseamnă viaţă. Cuvintele sunt vibraţii. Prin urmare, cuvintele exprimă viaţa. Cred că strămoşii noştri ştiau că totul începe prin vibraţii şi erau conştienţi că vibraţiile înseamnă viaţă, lumină şi sunet.
Cred că oamenii au creat cuvintele cu scopul de a desluşi aceste sunete şi de a le împărtăşi cu ceilalţi. Astfel, sunetele cuvintelor nu reprezintă nimic altceva decât un dar divin din partea naturii. Cristalele de apă ilustrează acest dar divin sub înfăţişarea lor minunată.
Apa este un mediu care primeşte şi înţelege chiar şi cele mai subtile vibraţii. Apa preia vibraţiile în mod firesc. Chiar şi atunci când aceste vibraţii sunt reprezentate de diferite caractere sau litere ce alcătuiesc limbajul, apa ne dezvăluie energia conţinută de aceste vibraţii prin formele cristalelor. Apa încearcă să ne comunice ceva. Emoţiile negative împiedică cristalizarea apei. Emoţiile pozitive îi permit să creeze forme hexagonale minunate. " Masaru Emoto

Mai jos sunt cateva imagini din experimentul Dr. Masaru Emoto ce reprezinta cuvintele, gandurile sau muzica la care a fost expusa apa si cristalul rezultat.

Beethoven's Pastorale

Heavy Metal Music

Happiness

Love

Thank you

Truth

You Make Me Sick, I Will Kill You

In concluzie, nu doar muzica buna ajunge la celulele noastre ci si cuvintele.
Un experiment facut de o familie (experiment pe care il puteti face si voi acasa) a fost urmatorul:
Au pus orez in doua borcane de sticla si, timp de o luna, zi de zi, i-au spus unuia dintre borcane "Multumesc", iar celuilalt "Prostule" urmarind modul in care orezul se transforma in timp. Dupa o luna de zile, orezul caruia i se spusese "Multumesc" a inceput sa fermenteze, emanand un miros dulceag, asemanator cu cel de malt, in timp ce orezul caruia i se spusese "Prostule" a putrezit si s-a innegrit. (Mesaje din apa, vol 1).

Iata imaginea orezului (stanga "Multumesc", dreapta "Prostule"). Mai ramane sa va treziti la realitate si sa intelegeti puterea cuvantulului. Voi ce alegeti sa fiti, cum e orezul din stanga sau cum este orezul din dreapta? Ganditi-va la asta!

povestea baiatului din oglinda

2008-05-17T23:39:00.012+03:00

A fost odata ca niciodata un baiat ce avea o oglinda magica. De cate ori se uita in oglinda aceasta ii arata sufletul. Uneori, cand era rau privea in oglinda si vedea cum arata iadul. Alteori cand era bun privea in oglinda si o mare frumusete ii cuprindea privirea. Sufletul ii era fericit si atat de usor ca aproape plutea. Era coplesit de emotie asa ca o perioada nu s-a mai uitat in oglinda. Ba chiar a vrut sa o sparga pentru ca bucuria ce il cuprindea uneori se transforma in tristete atunci cand intalnea un om trist si necajit. A decis ca iadul este mai bland, a ales sa nu ii pese de nenorocirile altora ba chiar sa le provoace.
Acum avea mai mult curaj sa se uite in oglinda; acolo era o lume lipsita de lumina, intunecata, viermii scotoceau pamantul facandu-l fertil pentru sufletele ce avea sa le inchida in el.
Sufletul ii era tot mai greu, chiar se aplecase putin din coloana pentru ca o asemenea greutate nu era tocmai usor de dus.
Acum se uita zilnic in oglinda lui fermecata. Lumea care i se arata in ea era infricosatoare dar lui nu ii era frica de moarte ci de viata, nu de durere ci de fericire. Cu cat privea mai intens oglinda cu atat isi dorea sa ajunga acolo, in interiorul ei, in vartejul de smoala ce aspira sufletele negre in interior.
Cu un gest ultim de curaj, a aprins o torta si s-a aruncat in interiorul oglinzii.
Mirosul de putreziciune l-a facut o clipa sa regrete decizia luata dar brusc a recunoscut un suflet ce era pe cale de a fi absorbit de neagra smoala. L-a prins si l-a tras afara din valtoare pentru ca nu mai putea sta locului de curiozitate. Acel suflet fusese un om bun, ce cauta in acel loc ? Cum era posibil? Sufletul l-a privit pe baiat in ochii reci observandu-i nedumerirea:
- Vad ca esti mirat sa ma vezi aici. Tot raul pe care mi l-ai facut mi-a zdruncinat viata, am ales razbunarea si razbunarea m-a adus aici. Ajuta-ma sa ies si te voi ierta.
Baiatul a apropiat torta sa-l vada mai bine. Lumina a imprastiat intunericul lasand sa iasa la iveala un suflet schimonosit de durere.
- Asculta, a zis baiatul, daca te las sa pleci voi ramane singur. Singur intr-o lume atat de urata iar torta mea nu stiu cat va mai face lumina. In schimb daca ma ajuti sa curat locul asta te voi elibera la fel ca si pe restul sufletelor cazute. Esti de acord?
- Da.
Au inceput sa curete impreuna iadul puturos si de cate ori gaseau un suflet prins in adancuri il scoteau afara punandu-l si pe el la curatat. Astfel ca s-au strans vreo 75 de suflete ceea ce pentru o viata de om era o suma impresionanta.
La toti le promisese eliberearea asa ca a scos o cheie din buzunarul de la piept, cheia portii sufletului.
Pe cheie erau desenate simboluri ce doar baiatul le cunostea intelesul. Pe tortita cheii era insemnat cuvantul "iertare".
- Ei, unde este eliberarea promisa? spuse sufletul schimonosit.
- Iata, murmura baiatul, cheia este iertarea. Daca vreti puteti ramane aici, am facut putina curatenie, duhoarea nu mai este atat de puternica, dar pentru a iesi aveti nevoie de puterea de a ma ierta. Altfel nu se poate.
Un suflet ce abia astepta sa fie eliberat iesi inainte spunand: "Eu te iert". O lumina puternica l-a patruns curatandu-l, figura-i zbarcita s-a transformat intr-o figura calda, linistita, lipsita de riduri, trupul garbovit s-a indreptat, ochii s-au umplut de bunatate si o lacrima a curs pe obraz. Raza de lumina l-a calauzit spre iesirea din iad sub privirea plina de speranta a celorlalte suflete. Astfel ca, pe rand, mai usor sau mai greu, fiecare suflet l-a iertat pe baiatul cu ochi de gheata disparand din lacasul negru.
Acum, baiatul ramas singur, asezat pe o piatra cu torta abia luminand, se intreba cum v-a scapa din iadul ce-i cuprinsese sufletul? Invartind cheita recunoscu simbolul iubirii si isi aminti pacea pe care o stia atat de bine.
- Si eu pe cine sa mai iert? I-am iertat pe toti si tot aici sunt in acest iad in care m-am bagat singur..., sopti baiatul.
O scanteie sari din torta pe cale sa se stinga drept pe mana baiatului. Durerea fizica ii aminti de durerea interioara.
- Stiu, spuse, mai trebuie sa ma iert PE MINE. Ma iert!
O lumina puternica patrunse in suflet curatand locul si punand la locul ei scanteaia magica.
Baiatul se trezi intins pe spate in fata oglinzii.
- Ce vis ciudat, isi spuse, privind spre oglinda ce ii infatisa o frumusete rara.

Astazi pe blvd. Lascar Catargiu la nr. 5 (langa Pta Romana), in timp ce rasfoiam cartile vechi expuse spre vanzare, mi-a fost atrasa atentia de tipetele unui om pe care l-am identificat in persoana negustorului cartilor pe care le rasfoiam.
Interesul meu de a-l cunoaste pe acest negustor ce striga cat il tineau plamanii a crescut brusc in defavoarea cartilor lui.
L-am asteptat pana a venit sa ma intrebe ce m-ar interesa si in urma raspunsului meu vag a inceput sa-mi arate carti si sa comenteze pe marginea lor. Referintele lui erau bune, comentarii placute si inteligente. M-am decis sa raman si sa-l cunosc mai bine.
Iata ca pe langa noi trece un cuplu intre 35-40 de ani, el tinand o floricica alba, rupta dintr-un gard viu. Desi erau la un pas distanta, negustorul a racnit spre ei: "Cu o floare furata si o ~~ponchar~~ ~~joder~~ ~~futuere~~ ~~foutre~~ ~~chimar~~ ~~chinga~~ futi la noapte. Te-ai scos, norocosule". Cei doi s-au indepartat fara sa spuna nimic in timp ce negustorul tipa cat il tinea gura in urma lor.
Daca Milarepa starnea ploaia, negustorul provoca plansul. Un artist.
Mai tarziu, cand m-a invitat pe "prispa lui Moromete" vorbindu-mi de pasiuni si durere si stransa legatura dintre ele am aflat ca era poet si pregatea o lucrare de mare amploare.
Si cum o convingere poate sa vindece ce nu a vindecat nici un medicament, s-a aratat si dl V. Andru a carui meditatie prin rugaciune este vindecatoare de suflete.
Compasiunea este virtutea suprema.

Plimbandu-ma de-a lungul bulevardului Splaiul Independentei iata cum privirea imi aluneca spre gunoaiele insirate de-a lungul trotuarului. Dintr-un chiosc apare o femeie cu alte gunoaie de aruncat si cum observa ca-i gunoi langa gunoi si nu mai are unde sa le puna decat mot trage un oftat adanc gandind, probabil, "unde sa le mai pun si p-astea?!". Incep sa-i explic cat de mult mi-ar placea sa traiesc intr-un oras curat si ma bruscheaza: "Ce... oras curat?! Oi fi si tu vreo printesa ceva... ".
Ei bine, da... Cum m-a vazut m-a recunoscut. Am plecat dar un plan mi-a incoltit in minte si anume de a ne strange printi si printese care nu mai suporta mizeria din jur si inarmati cu saci de gunoi sa facem curat in orasul nostru. Sunt bineveniti capcaunii si alti cumpliti vrednici si curajosi ce vor sa porneasca in aceasta aventura.

You don't remember me
But I remember you
T'was not so long ago
You broke my heart in two

If we could start anew

I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate

Sinéad O'Connor - "Nothing Compares 2 U"
January 28 for 4 weeks

lyrics
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since u took your love away
since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 u

it's been so lonely without u here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
but they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
guess what he told me
he said girl u better try to have fun
no matter what u do
but he's a fool
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 u

all the flowers that u planted mother
in the back yard
all died when u went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try
nothing compares
nothing compares 2 u

Beats International featuring Lindy Layton - "Dub Be Good To Me"
February 25 for 4 weeks

lyrics
Friends tell me I am crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
You'll never be mine
That's not the way I see it
Coz I feel you're glad you're mine
Whenever you're with me

People always talk about reputation
I don't care about your other girls
Just be good to me
Just be good to me
Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty
You're listening to the boy from the big bad city
This is jam hot
This is jam hot

Love is a game of chances
So I'll take my chance with you
And you I won't try to change
We talk about it and I'd
Rather have a piece of you
Than out of nothing

Just be good to me in the morning
Just be good to me in the afternoon or evening
Yeah just be good to me
I'm not the jealous kind
I won't tie you down
When you need me I'll be around
I'll be good to you
You'll be good to me
We could be together, be together

Quality I possess something I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are snap
Don't need the police to try to save them
Your voice will sink so please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's got the power oh-oh-oh-oh

Madonna - "Vogue"
April 8 for 4 weeks

lyrics
Written by Madonna and Shep Pettibone

Strike a pose
Strike a pose
Vogue, vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue, vogue

Look around everywhere you turn is heartache
It's everywhere that you go (look around)
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know (life that you know)

When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It's called a dance floor, and here's what it's for, so

Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
You know you can do it

All you need is your own imagination
So use it that's what it's for (that's what it's for)
Go inside, for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door (open up the door)

It makes no difference if you're black or white
If you're a boy or a girl
If the music's pumping it will give you new life
You're a superstar, yes, that's what you are, you know it

Come on, vogue
Let your body groove to the music (groove to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
You know you can do it

Beauty's where you find it
Not just where you bump and grind it
Soul is in the musical
That's where I feel so beautiful
Magical, life's a ball
So get up on the dance floor

Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
You know you can do it

Vogue, (Vogue)
Beauty's where you find it (move to the music)
Vogue, (Vogue)
Beauty's where you find it (go with the flow)

Greta Garbo, and Monroe
Dietrich and DiMaggio
Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean
On the cover of a magazine

Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean
Picture of a beauty queen
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
Ginger Rogers, dance on air

They had style, they had grace
Rita Hayworth gave good face
Lauren, Katharine, Lana too
Bette Davis, we love you

Ladies with an attitude
Fellows that were in the mood
Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

Vogue, vogue

Oooh, you've got to
Let your body move to the music
Oooh, you've got to just
Let your body go with the flow
Oooh, you've got to

Adamski - "Killer"
May 6 for 4 weeks

lyrics
It's the loneliness
that's the killer

So you want
to be free?
To live your life
the way you wanna be
Will you give
if we cry?
Will we live
or will we die?

Tainted hearts
heal with time
Shoot that love
so we can stop the end

Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
is there still a part of you that wants to give?

If we try
and live our lives
the way you wanna be
yeah

Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
is there still a part of you that wants to give? (x3)

Englandneworder - "World In Motion"
June 3 for 2 weeks

World in Motion was the official song for England in the World Cup 1990. Co-written with the British comedian, Keith Allen, it became New Order's first number one song ever.

lyrics
Express yourself, create the space,
You know you can win, don't give up the chase
Beat the man, take him on,
You never give up, it's one on one

Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong
When something's good, it's never gone

Love's got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Love's got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true

Now is the time, let everyone see
You'll never give up, that's how it should be
Don't get caught, make your own play
Express yourself, don't give it away

Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong
When something's good, it's never gone

Love's got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Love's got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
Love's got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Love's got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true

(John Barnes:-) You've got to hold or give, but do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them, get round the back
Catch me if you can, cos I'm the England man
And what you're looking at is the master plan
We ain't no hooligans, this ain't a football song
Three lions on my chest, I know we can't go wrong

We're playing for England, Eng-er-land
We're playing the song
We're singing for England, Eng-er-land
Arriverderci, it's one on one
We're playing for England, Eng-er-land
We're playing the song
We're singing for England, Eng-er-land
Arriverderci, it's one on one

Elton John - "Sacrifice / Healing Hands"
June 17 for 5 weeks

lyrics
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands

Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through

And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

July 22 for 4 weeks

lyrics
T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

On a half shell they´re the heroes four
In this day and age who can ask for more
The crime wave is high with muggings mysterious
All police and detectives are furious
Cause they can´t find the source
Of this lethally evil force
This is serious so give me a quarter
I was a witness get me a reporter
Call April O´Neill in on this case and you better hurry up
There´s no time to waste
We need help like quick on the double
Have pity on the city, man its in trouble
We need heroes like the Lone Ranger when Tonto came pronto
When there was danger
They didn´t say We´ll be there in half an hour
Cause they displayed
Turtle Power!

T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Now our ace reporter was hot on the trail
Determined to put these crooks in jail
She spied the bad guys and saw what happened
But before she knew it she fell in the trap and got caught
Yeah she was all alone
With no friends and no phone
Now this was beyond her WORST dreams
Cause she was cornered by some wayward fiends
Headed by Shredder they were anything but good
Misguided, unloved, they called them the Foot
They could terrorize and be angry youth and
They loved the people who needed proof
Then from outta the dark came an awesome sound
Shouted COWABUNGA as they hit the ground
From the field the weeds the heroes rescued the flower
Cause they possessed
Turtle Power

T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

T-U-R-T-L-E power
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Power
When you stand for what you believe in
And find the strength to do what´s right
That´s Turtle Power

Heroes on a half shell they´re on a mission
When there´s a battle got the enemy wishin'
That they stayed at home instead of fightin'
These Ninja Masters with moves like lightnin'
They were once normal but now they´re mutants
Splinter´s the teacher so they are the students
Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello
Make up the team with one other fellow
Raphael
He´s the leader of the group transformed from the norm
By the nuclear goop
Pizza´s the food that´s sure to please
These ninjas are into pepperoni and cheese
Back to the story it´s not hard to find
Ninjas not just of the body but of the mind
Those were the words that the Master instructed
But a letter from Shredder has Splinter abducted
That was the last straw spring into action
Step on the Foot now they´re gonna lose traction
Now this is for real so you fight for justice
Your shell is hard so you shout They cant dust us off
Like some old coffee table
Since you were born you been willing and able
To defeat the sneak, protect the weak
Fight for rights and your freedom to speak
Now the villain is chillin' so you make a stand
Back to the wall put your sword in your hand
Remember the words of your teacher your master
Evil moves fast but good moves faster
Than light
Shining from your illumination
Good versus Evil equals confrontation
So when you´re in trouble don´t give in and go sour
Try to rely on your
Turtle Power

Bombalurina with Timmy Mallett - "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"
August 19 for 3 weeks

lyrics
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was as nervous as she could be
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was afraid that somebody would see

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the locker she wanted to stay

She was afraid to come out in the open
And so a blanket around her she wore
She was afraid to come out in the open
And so she sat bundled up on the shore

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the blanket she wanted to stay

Now she's afraid to come of the water
And I wonder what she's gonna do
Now she's afraid to come out of the water
And the poor little girl's turnin blue

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the water she wanted to stay

Flashing fever from your eyes

Hey babe I need your hand to steady me

I'm frightened as much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine
And it feels divine

Show me heaven

Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please

If you know what it's like
To dream a dream
Baby hold me tight
And let this be your...heaven

The Beautiful South - "A Little Time"
October 21 for 1 week

I need a little time
To think it over
I need a little space
Just on my own
I need a little time
To find my freedom
I need a little...

Funny how quick the milk turns sour
Isn't it, isn't it
Your face has been looking like that for hours
Hasn't it, hasn't it
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust

I need a little room
To find myself
I need a little space
To work it out
I need a little room
All alone
I need a little...

You need a little room for your big head
Don't you, don't you
You need a little space for a thousand beds
Won't you, won't you
Lips that promise - fear the worst
Tongue so sharp - the bubble burst
Just into unjust

I've had a little time
To find the truth
Now I've had a little room
To check what's wrong
I've had a little time
And I still love you
I've had a little...

You had a little time
And you had a little fun
Didn't you, didn't you
While you had yours
Do you think I had none
Do you, do you
The Freedom that you wanted back
Is yours for good
I hope you're glad
Sad into unsad

I had a little time
To think it over
Had a little room
To work it out
I found a little courage
To call it off

I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time

Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love

Godspeed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea,
to the sea
to the open arms of the sea
lonely rivers sigh 'wait for me, wait for me'
I'll be coming home wait for me

Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me

Vanilla Ice - "Ice Ice Baby"
November 25 for 4 weeks

lyrics
Yo, vip, lets kick it!

Ice ice baby, ice ice baby
All right stop, collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? yo -- I dont know
Turn off the lights and Ill glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.

Dance, bum rush the speaker that booms
Im killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it, you better gain way
You better hit bulls eye, the kid dont play
If there was a problem, yo, Ill solve it
Check out the hook while my dj revolves it

Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla
Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla

Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in, the vegas are pumpin
Quick to the point, to the point no faking
Im cooking mcs like a pound of bacon
Burning them if theyre not quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi hat with a souped up tempo
Im on a roll and its time to go solo
Rollin in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby, waving just to say hi
Did you stop? no -- I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and Im heading to the next block
That block was dead

Yo -- so I continued to a1a beachfront ave.
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving lamborghinis
Jealous cause Im out geting mine
Shay with a gauge and vanilla with a nine
Reading for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because theyre so full of eight balls
Gunshots ranged out like a bell
I grabbed my nine -- all I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenues packed
Im trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene, you know what I mean
They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem, you, Ill solve it
Check out the hook while my dj revolves it

Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla
Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla

Take heed, cause Im a lyrical poet
Miamis on the scene just in case you didnt know it
My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
cause my styles like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed, this is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast, other djs say, damn
If my rhyme was a drug, Id sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when its time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
If there was a problem, yo -- Ill solve it!
Check out the hook while deshay revolves it.

Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla
Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla

Yo man -- lets get out of here! word to your mother!

Ice ice baby too cold, ice ice baby too cold too cold
Ice ice baby too cold too cold, ice ice baby too cold too cold

December 23 for 1 week

lyrics
Now we have been through the harvest
Winter has truly begun
Now we have walked in the chill of the night
We are waiting for, waiting for
For the saviour's day

Many have come from the valleys
Many have come from the hills
Many have started their journey home
To be with someone with someone
On the saviour's day

Open your eyes on saviour's day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you'll only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the saviours day

Here's to the god of the present
Here's to the god of the past
Here's to the hope in the future he brings
We will sing to him, sing to him
On the savior's day

Joining the old and the young ones
Joining the black and the white
Meeting the need of the hungry is he
We will ever remember him
On the saviour's day

Open your eyes on saviour's day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you'll only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the saviours day

Iron Maiden - "Bring Your Daughter...To the Slaughter"
December 30 for 2 weeks

lyrics
Honey its getting close to midnight, and all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen, bite the pillow make no sound
If there's some living to be done before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one, so unchain your back door invite me around

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Let her go, yeah!
Honey its getting close to daybreak, the sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache, just empty words and humble pie
So get down on your knees honey, assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting cos you know I'm coming soon

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go

So pick up your foolish pride, no going back
No where, no way, no place to hide

(2:24-Solo: Janick Gers)

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Bring your daughter, fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter, fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter, fetch your daughter to the slaughter

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Marc Almond with Gene Pitney - "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart"
January 22 for 4 weeks

lyrics
Something`s gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something`s gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile and making me frown

In a world that was small
I once lived in a time that was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling unknown shook my heart
Made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days

Yeah I gotta tell you now
Something`s gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah something has invaded my nights
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you

I`ve got to know if this is the real thing
I`ve got to know what`s making my heart sing, woah yeah

You smile and Iam lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour, yeah, every day, yeah

You touch me and my mind goes astray
And baby yeah...
And baby yeah...

Something`s gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah something has invaded my nights

(fading Out)
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue

Simple Minds - "Belfast Child"
February 19 for 2 weeks

lyrics
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's suffering
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down

One day we'll return here,
When the Belfast Child sings again

Brothers, sisters where are you now
As I look for you right through the crowd
All my life here I've spent
With my faith in God the Church and the Government
But there's sadness abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down

One day we'll return here,
[ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/bIM ]
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again

So come back Billy, won't you come on home
Come back Mary, you've been away so long
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
The girls are crying, it's been oh so long
And your father's calling, come on home
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home

Come back people, you've been gone a while
And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
All the girls are crying but all's not lost

The streets are empty, the streets are cold
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home

The streets are empty
Life goes on

One day we'll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again

Jason Donovan - "Too Many Broken Hearts"
March 5 for 2 weeks

lyrics
Last night you talked about leaving,
I said I can't let you go
It's not just emotional feeling
I need you body and soul

You give me one good reason to leave me
I'll give you ten good reasons to stay
You're the only one I believe in
I'd be hurt, I'd be hurt, if you walk away

(Chorus)

Too many broken hearts in the world
There's too many dreams can be broken in two
Too many broken hearts in the world
So I won't give up the fight for you

The world is full of lonely people
Who never held onto love
Last night I tried to reach you
But somehow it wasn't enough

So I said, can't you wait a bit longer
I'll give you all that a lover should give
It ain't my pride but my love that is stronger
I'd be hurt; I'd be hurt, if you walk away

(Repeat Chorus *2)

You give me one good reason to leave me
I'll give you ten good reasons to stay
You're the only one I believe in
I'd be hurt; I'd be hurt, if you walked away

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

When you call my name its like a little prayer
Im down on my knees, I wanna take you there

Just like a prayer you know Ill take you there

I hear your voice, its like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, oh God I think Im falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

Like a child you whisper softly to me
Youre in control just like a child
Now Im dancing
Its like a dream, no end and no beginning
Youre here with me, its like a dream
Let the choir sing

(chorus)

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, Ill take you there
Its like a dream to me

Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way

So ferry 'cross the Mersey

Each with their own secret care

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
and always take me there
The place I love

People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away

So ferry 'cross the Mersey

Though we’ve got to say goodbye
for the summer
darling, I’ll promise you this
I’ll send you all my love
every day, in a letter
sealed with a kiss

Yes, it’s gonna be a cold
lonely summer
but I’ll fill the emptiness
I’ll send you all my dreams
every day, in a letter
sealed with a kiss

I’ll see you in the sunlight
I’ll hear your voice everywhere
I’ll run to tenderly hold you
but, darling, you won’t be there

I don’t wanna say goodbye
for the summer
knowing the love we’ll miss
Oh, let us make a pledge
to meet in September
and seal it with a kiss

Yes, it’s gonna be a cold
lonely summer
but I’ll fill the emptiness
I’ll send you all my love
every day, in a letter
sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss

Sonia - "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You"
July 16 for 2 weeks

lyrics
Even when you're home
You won't pick up your phone
And take my call
When I see you on the street
You stare down at your feet
You won't talk at all

If only you would see me
One more time and maybe
Someday, you will find
That you could really love me
You could really need me
Maybe you could change your mind

But you'll never stop me from loving you
It doesn't really matter
what you put me through
You'll never stop me from loving you

When I know that you're alone
I wander to your home
And catch a glimpse or two
It seems that all the time
The thought is on my mind
Of being with you

The times I've tried to see you
You know I would meet you
Any time, night or day

But still you just refuse
And no matter what you do
I'll never let you get away

But you'll never stop me from loving you
It doesn't really matter
what you put me through
You'll never stop me from loving you

Oh, woh, you'll never stop
me from loving you
Wherever you can go, I will follow you
You'll never stop me from loving you

Oh, woh, oh, woh
Never stop
Never stop me
Oh, oh, oh woh, oh woh
Never stop
Never stop me

If only you would see me
One more time and maybe
Someday you will find
That you could really love me
You could really need me
Maybe you could change your mind

But you'll never stop me from loving you
It doesn't really matter
what you put me through
You'll never stop me from loving you

Oh, woh, you'll never stop
me from loving you
Wherever you can go I will follow you
You'll never stop me from loving you

Been around the world and I, I, I

I don't know when, I don't know why
Why he's gone away
And I don't know where he can be, my baby

We had a quarrel and I let myself go
I said so many things, things he didn't know
And I was oh oh so bad

He gave the reason, the reasons he should go
And he said so many things he never said before

December 17 for 3 weeks

lyrics
It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

But say a prayer and pray for the other ones
At Christmas time, it's hard, but when your having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
And the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all

Here's to you, raise your glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the worlds alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And were spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Ooh, baby, do you know what thats worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
Well make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When Im lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world were just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But Im not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what thats worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
Well make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

Thats what they say when were together
And watch how you play
They dont understand
And so were

Chorus:
Running just as fast as we can
Holdin on to one anothers hand
Tryin to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think were alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think were alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way
We gotta hide what were doin
cause what would they say
If they ever knew
And so were

Repeat chorus

I think were alone now
There doesnt seem to be anyone around
I think were alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Kylie Minogue - "I Should Be So Lucky"
February 14 for 5 weeks

lyrics
In my imagination
There is no complication
I dream about you all the time
In my mind a celebration
The sweetest of sensation
Thinking you could be mine

[1b:]
In my imagination
There is no hesitation
We walk together hand in hand
I'm dreaming
You fell in love with me
Like I'm in love with you
But dreaming's all I do
If only they'd come true

[CHORUS:]
I should be so lucky
Lucky lucky lucky
I should be so lucky in love
I should be so lucky
Lucky lucky lucky
I should be so lucky in love

[2a:]
It's a crazy situation
You always keep me waiting
Because its only make believe
And I would come a-running
To give you all my loving
If one day you would notice me

[2b:]
My heart is close to breaking
And I can't go on faking
The fantasy that you'll be mine
I'm dreaming
That you're in love with me
Like I'm in love with you
But dreaming's all I do
If only they'd come true

If you want to leave, baby
I won't beg you to stay
And if you wanna go, darling
Maybe it's better that way

I'm gonna be strong

Walk out the door
See if I care
But why not go now

But don't turn around
Coz you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around

Every time I see you something happens to me
Like a chain reaction between you and me
My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
Every time
Oh oh oh, every time

If I didnt love you, I would look around for someone else
But every time I see you, you have the same effect

Im in love with you; I mean what I say
Im in love with you, and you dont know
What it means to be with you

Every time I see you, no matter what we do
Theres a strange reaction, can you feel it too?
My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat

lyrics
I'll watch you crumble like a very old wall

I'll see you stranded
you took me for a fool.
I'll have my revenge
cause I owe you nothing
nothing at all.

I owe you nothing
nothing at all

I owe you nothing
nothing
nothing at all
nothing
nothing at all.

I'll watch you suffer with no feelings
no feelings at all

and you'll see you desperate
you won't hear my call.
And he who laughs last owes you sweet nothing
nothing at all.

I owe you nothing
nothing at all

I owe you nothing
nothing
nothing at all.

I was yours and you were mine

but you ran around and told me lies

you got big
big
big
big trouble.

I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing

I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing

lyrics
If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong

Our dreams are young
And we both know they'll take us
Where we want to go

Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy,
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too

When youre close to me, I can feel your heart beat

Anytime you want to you can turn me onto
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Cant control the quivering inside
Wouldnt you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love, oh

When Im feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then Im not so blue
When Im in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I dont care
Wouldnt you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love, oh

September 18 for 2 weeks

lyrics
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go

His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Yeah...
Lover, I'm on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar...on fire

She's a candle burning in my room
Yeah I'm like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire
Desire

And the fever, getting higher
Desire
Desire
Burning...
Burning...

She's the dollars
She's my protection
Yeah she's a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts
At a traveling show
For love or money money money
money money money money money
money money money
And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire, desire, desire

Whitney Houston - "One Moment in Time"
October 9 for 2 weeks

lyrics
Each day I live
I want to be a day to give the best of me
I'm only one, but not alone
My finest day is yet unknown
I broke my heart for every gain
To taste the sweet, I faced the pain
I rise and fall,
Yet through it all this much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams
Are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel, I will feel eternity

I've lived to be the very best
I want it all, no time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams
Are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel, I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams
Are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be, I will be, I will be free, I will be,
I will be free

Let me sail, let me sail, let the orinoco flow,
Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of tripoli.
Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
Let me reach, let me beach far beyond the yellow sea.

From bissau to palau - in the shade of avalon,
From fiji to tiree and the isles of ebony,
From peru to cebu hear the power of babylon,
From bali to cali - far beneath the coral sea.

From the north to the south, ebudae into khartoum,
From the deep sea of clouds to the island of the moon,
Carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never been,
Carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never seen.

We can sail, we can sail...
We can steer, we can near with rob dickins at the wheel,
We can sigh, say goodbye ross and his dependencies
We can sail, we can sail...

Robin Beck - "The First Time"
November 13 for 3 weeks

lyrics
First time, first love, oh what feeling is this
Electricity flows with the very first kiss
Like a break in the clouds and the first ray of sun
I can feel it inside something new has begun
And it's taken control of my body and mind
It began when I heard I love you
For the very first time
For the very first time

This life, this love, oh this sweetness I feel
So mysterious yet so incredibly real
It's an unchartered sea, it's an unopened door
But ya got to reach out and ya gotta explore
Even though you're not sure
Till the moment arrives
There he is and you know
You're in love
For the very first time
For the very first time

And baby when I met you
Every feeling I had was new
I don't think there are words
To describe the sensations, oh no no no

It's an unchartered sea, it's an unopened door
But ya got to reach and ya gotta explore
And when something's happens
That words can't define
Only then do you know you're in love
For the very first time
For the very first time

For the very first time

December 4 for 4 weeks

lyrics
The child is a king, the carollers sing,
The old has passed, theres a new beginning.
Dreams of santa, dreams of snow,
Fingers numb, faces aglow.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time for rejoicing in all that we see

A time for living, a time for believing
A time for trusting, not deceiving,
Love and laughter and joy ever after,
Ours for the taking, just follow the master.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time for rejoicing in all that we see

A time for giving, a time for getting,
A time for forgiving and for forgetting.
Christmas is love, christmas is peace,
A time for hating and fighting to cease.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time for rejoicing in all that we see

Aretha Franklin & George Michael - "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)"
February 3 for 2 weeks

lyrics
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory

Though I went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
And was crippled emotionally

(George)
Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes I did
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith
Kept my faith

(Chorus)
And the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me

(Aretha)
With an endless desire
I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet

And like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over
One touch and you set me free

(George)
I don't regret a single moment, no I don't
Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh, I just laugh

(Chorus)

So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be

I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me

If the sky that we look upon

And the mountains should crumble to the sea

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, you kept me warm
You gave my life to me
You set me free, set me free

Of all the years I ever knew
Those finer ones I spent with you

I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

You taught me how to cry
I dont know why, just dont know why
You told those lies to me
You set me free, set me free

Of all the years I ever knew
Those finer ones I spent with you

I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to hold you once again

If theres someone you know
That wont let you go
And is taking it all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone take them away
And you don't hear a word they say

I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

March 24 for 1 week

lyrics
Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable

It's our occupation, we're a dancing nation
We keep the pressure on every night
Explanations are complications
We don't need to know the where or why

Taking chances, bold advances
Don't care if you think we're out of line
Conversation is interrogation
Get out of here, we just don't have the time

Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable

Hesitation is just frustration
Give us the music and we're all right
On each occasion, for your information
We can look after ourselves all right

Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable

Fascination is our sensation
We like to put ourselves on the line
Recreation is our destination
So don't wait up for us tonight

Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be, Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

como puede ese olvidar"

last night i dreamt of san pedro
just like id never gone,
i knew the song.
a young girl with eyes like the desert
it all seems like yesterday,
not far away.

(chorus)
tropical the island breeze
all of nature wild and free
this is where i long to be
la isla bonita.
and when the samba played
the sun would set so high
ring through my ears and sting my eyes
your spanish lullaby.

i fell in love with san pedro

warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me:
"te dijo te amo"
i prayed that the days would last
they went so fast.

tropical the island breeze
all of nature wild and free
this is where i long to be
la isla bonita.
and when the samba played
the sun would set so high
ring through my ears and sting my eyes
your spanish lullaby.

i want to be where the sun warms the sky
when its time for siesta you can watch them go by.
beautiful faces,
no cares in this world
where a girl loves a boy,
and a boy loves a girl.

last night i dreamt of san pedro
it all seems like yesterday, not far away

te dijo te amo
el dijo que te ama

Whitney Houston - "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)"
June 2 for 2 weeks

lyrics
Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up to now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls, loneliness calls

Chorus:
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

Chorus:
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody

Star Trekking, across the universe

Pet Shop Boys - "It's A Sin"
June 30 for 3 weeks

lyrics
(Twenty seconds and counting...
T minus fifteen seconds, guidance is okay)

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

(Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione,
verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)
[trans. "I confess to almighty god,
and to you my brothers,
that I have sinned exceedingly
in thought, word, act and omission,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault"]

Madonna - "Who's That Girl"
July 21 for 1 week

lyrics
When you see her, say a prayer and kiss your heart goodbye
She's trouble, in a word get closer to the fire
Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside
You're spinning round and round
You can't get up, you try but you can't

Chorus:

Quien es esa niña, who's that girl
Señorita mas fina, who's that girl
Quien es esa niña, who's that girl
Señorita mas fina, who's that girl

You try to avoid her, fate is in your hands
She's smiling, an invitation to the dance
Her heart is on the street, tu corazon es suyo
Now you're falling at her feet
You try to get away but you can't

(chorus)

Intermediate:

Light up my life, so blind I can't see
Light up my life, no one can help me now

Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside
He's spinning round and round
You can't get up, you try but you can't

(chorus)
(intermediate)

Who's that girl
Now, who's that girl
Now, who's that girl
Now, who's that girl

Michael Jackson with Siedah Garrett - "I Just Can't Stop Loving You"
August 11 for 2 weeks

lyrics
I just want to lay next to you for awhile
You look so beautiful tonight
Your eyes are so lovely
Your mouth is so sweet
A lot of people misunderstand me
That's because they don't know me at all
I just want to touch you
And hold you
I need you
God I need you
I love you so much

[Michael]
Each time the wind blows
I hear your voice so
I call your name...
Whispers at morning
Our love is dawning
Heaven's glad you came...

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I'm so proud to say I love you
Your love's got me high
I long to get by
This time is forever
Love is the answer

[Siedah]
I hear your voice now
You are my choice now
The love you bring
Heaven's in my heart
At your call
I hear harps,
And angels sing

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I can't live my life without you

[Michael]
I just can't hold on

[Siedah]
I feel we belong

[Michael]
My life ain't worth living
If I can't be with you

[Both]
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop...
Then tell me just what will I do

[Siedah]
'Cause I just can't stop loving you

[Michael]
At night when the stars shine
I pray in you I'll find
A love so true...

[Siedah]
When morning awakes me
Will you come and take me
I'll wait for you

[Michael]
You know how I feel
I won't stop until
I hear your voice saying "I do"

[Siedah]
"I do"
This thing can't go wrong

[Michael]
This feeling's so strong

[Siedah]
Well, my life ain't worth living

[Both]
If I can't be with you
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop...
Then tell me, just what will I do

[Michael]
I just can't stop loving you

[Siedah]
We can change all the world tomorrow

[Michael]
We can sing songs of yesterday

[Siedah]
I can say, hey... farewell to sorrow

[Michael]
This is my life and I,

[Both]
Want to see you for always
I just can't stop loving you

[Siedah]
No, baby

[Michael]
Oh!

[Both]
I just can't stop loving you

[Siedah]
If I can't stop!

[Both]
And if I stop...

[Siedah]
No

[Michael]
Oh! Oh! Oh... Oh...

[Siedah]
What will I do? Uh... Ooh...
(Then tell me, just what will I do)

[Both]
I just can't stop loving you

[Michael]
Hee! Hee! Hee! Know I do girl!

I just can't stop loving you

Were no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do i
A full commitments what Im thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand

* never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Weve know each other for so long
Your hearts been aching
But youre too shy to say it
Inside we both know whats been going on
We know the game and were gonna play it

And if you ask me how Im feeling
Dont tell me youre too blind to see

(* repeat)

Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, five you up

I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand

The Bee Gees - "You Win Again"
October 11 for 4 weeks

lyrics
I couldn't figure why
You couldn't give me what everybody needs
I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down
My baby
I find out everybody know that
You've been using me
I'm surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I'm gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart

(chorus)
Theres no fight you can't fight
This battle of love with me
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
Theres no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I'll be, I'll be
Following you

Oh baby I shake you from now on
I'm gonna break down your defenses
One by one
I'm gonna hit you from all sides
Lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from
Taking you

You better beware, I swear
I'm gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all

T'Pau - "China In Your Hand"
November 8 for 5 weeks

lyrics
It was a theme she had
On a scheme he had
Told in a foreign land

To take life on earth
To the second birth
And the man was in command

It was a flight on the wings
Of a young girls dreams
That flew too far away

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself

China in your hand

Come from greed
Never born of the seed
Took life from a barren land
Oh eyes wide
Like a child in the form of man
A prophecy for a fantasy
A castle in his mind

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself

China in your hand
In your hand, your hand

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself
You shouldn't push too hard, no no
Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself

Pet Shop Boys - "Always on My Mind"
December 13 for 4 weeks

lyrics
Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could
Little things I shouldve said and done, I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that youre mine
If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Little things I shouldve said and done, I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could
Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine

January 7 for 2 weeks

lyrics
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?
(How much do you need?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
West End girls

(How much do you need?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Oooh West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End Girls
West End girls

You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'til I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
(How far have you been?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End Boys, West End girls
West End girls

West End girls

West End girls
(How far have you been?)

East End boys
And West End girls
And West End girls

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v.
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

I reached inside myself and found
Nothing there to ease the
Pressure of my ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely
Looks the mirror's sending me these days

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v.
Hold me
Close to your heart.
Touch me
And give all your love to me.

Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant.

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v.
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me.
To me.

Diana Ross - "Chain Reaction"
March 4 for 3 weeks

lyrics

You took a mystery and made me want it
You got a pedestal and put me on it
You made me love you out of feeling nothing
Something that you do
And I was there and not dancing with anyone
You took a little, then you took me over
You set your mark on stealing my heart away
Crying, trying, anything for you

Im in the middle of a chain reaction
You give me all the after midnight action
I wanna get you where I can let you make all that love to me
Im on a journey for the inspiration
To anywhere and there ain't no salvation
I need you to get me nearer to you
So you can set me free
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love

You make me tremble when your hand moves lower
You taste a little then you swollow slower
Nature has a way of yielding treasure
Pleasure made for you, oh
You gotta plan, your future is on the run
Shine a light for the whole world over
You never find your love if you hide away
Crying, dying, all you gotta do is

Get in the middle of a chain reaction
You get a medal when you're lost in action
I wanna get your love all ready for the sweet sensation
Instant radiation
You let me hold you for the first explosion
We get a picture of our love in motion
My arms will cover, my lips will smother you
With no more left to say
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
You let me hold you for the first explosion
Arms will cover you

All you gotta do is get in the middle of a chain reaction
You get a medal when youre lost in action
Don't pass me by
I wanna get your love all ready for the chain reaction .

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll
Got to do my best to please her, just 'cause she's a living doll

April 15 for 3 weeks

lyrics
I'd Say Love Was A Magical Thing
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had i been there
Had i been there
I i would promise you a!! Of my life
Hut to lose you would cut like a knife
So i don't dare
No i don't dare

'Cause i've never come close
In all of these years
You are the on!y one to stop my tears
And i'm so scared
I'm so scared

Take me back in time
Maybe i can forget
Turn a different corner
And we never would have met
Would you care?

I don't understand it
For you it's a breeze
Little by little
You've brought me to my knees
Don't you care?

No i've never come close
In all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love

And if all that there is
Is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If i could, i would, i swear.

Wo er alles tat
Er hatte Schulden denn er trank
Doch ihn liebten alle Frauen
Und jede rief:
Come on and rock me Amadeus

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus

Er war Superstar
Er war populär
Er war so exaltiert
Because er hatte Flair
Er war ein Virtuose
War ein Rockidol
Und alles rief:
Come on and rock me Amadeus

Come on and rock me Amadeus

Die Banken gegen ihn
Woher die Schulden kamen
War wohl jedermann bekannt
Er war ein Mann der Frauen
Frauen liebten seinen Punk

Spitting Image - "The Chicken Song"
May 10 for 3 weeks

lyrics
Its the time of year
Now that Spring is in the air
When those two wet gits with their girly curly hair
Make another song for moronic holidays
That nauseate-ate-ate
In a million different ways
From the shores of Spain
To the coast of Southern France
No matter where you hide
You just can't escape this dance

Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
Paint your left knee green
Then extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet
And pretend your name is Keith

Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an eskimo
Eat a Renault Four with salami in your ears
Casserole your gran
Disembowel yourself with spears

The disco is vibrating
The sound is loud and grating
Its truly nauseating
Let's do the dance again

Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Yes you'll hear this song in the holiday discos
And there's no escape in the clubs or in the bars
You would hear this song if you holidayed in Mars

Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an eskimo
Now you've heard it once
Your brain will spring a leak
And though you hate this song
You'll be humming it for weeks

Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la laaaaaaa

Wham! - "The Edge of Heaven"
June 24 for 2 weeks

lyrics
I would lock you up
But I could not bear to hear you
Screaming to be set free
I would chain you up
If I'd thought you'd swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up
But don't worry baby
You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to

It's too late to stop
Won't the heavens save me?
My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you

You take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide you baby's eyes and we can...
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
When the passion dies -
It's just a matter of time before my heart is
Looking for a home

I'm like a maniac, at the end of the day
I'm like a doggie barking at your door
So come take me back to the place you stay
And maybe we can do it once more

You say I'm dangerous
But don't worry baby
I get excited at the things that you do
And there's a place for us in a dirty movie
'Cos no-one does it better than me and you

You take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can...
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Please don't tell me lies
It's just a matter of time before my heart is
Looking for a home

I ain't got no more worries
I'm gonna spend some times with you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it

You take me to the edge of heaven
You tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can...
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Don't you tell me lies, because believe me baby
One day you'll wake up on your own.

I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
Everyone's got their eyes on you
I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it

Madonna - "Papa Don't Preach"
July 8 for 3 weeks

lyrics
Papa I know youre going to be upset
cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
Im not a baby

You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what Im saying

The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
Were in an awful mess, and I don't mean maybe - please

Chorus:

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, Ive been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, oh
I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...

He says that hes going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe well be all right
Its a sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I'm too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please

(chorus)

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good hes been treating me
Youd give us your blessing right now
cause we are in love, we are in love, so please

(chorus)

Papa dont preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa dont preach, Ive been losing sleep
(repeat)

Oh, Im gonna keep my baby, ooh
Dont you stop loving me daddy
I know, Im keeping my baby

Chris De Burgh - "The Lady in Red" ♥
July 29 for 3 weeks

lyrics
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,

I love you...

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna be there when you open your eyes
I want you to be
The first thing that I see
I wanna wake up with you

I wanna lay by your side, baby
I wanna feel every beat of your heart
And throughout the night
I wanna hold you tight
I wanna wake up with you

All the love inside me has been sleeping
Waiting till the right one came along
You can share the love that I've been keeping, baby
You can put the music to my song

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna reach out and know that you're there
I want you to be
The first thing that I see
I wanna wake up with you

And throughout the night

You can put the music to my song

I wanna wake up with you

All the love inside me has been sleeping
Waiting till the right one came along
You can share the love that I've been keeping, baby
You can put the music to my song

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna reach out and know that you're there
I want you to be

Madonna - "True Blue"
October 7 for 1 week

lyrics
Hey

What

Listen

I've had other guys
I've looked into their eyes
But I never knew love before
'Til you walked through my door
I've had other lips
I've sailed a thousand ships
But no matter where I go
You're the one for me baby this I know, 'cause it's

Chorus:

True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be true blue baby I love you

I've heard all the lines
I've cried oh so many times
Those tear drops they won't fall again
I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend
So if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear, I said

(chorus twice)

Intermediate:

No more sadness, I kiss it good-bye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love it's
(repeat)

True, so if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear, I said

(intermediate)
(chorus)

'Cause it's

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love it's
(repeat)

Nick Berry - "Every Loser Wins"
October 14 for 3 weeks

lyrics
We nearly made it
We nearly found the perfect combination
The road was right, we must have read the signs wrong
And now it's all gone

But if we'd made it
Could we be sure that it was for the better
Who could say we would have stayed together
Nothing is certain, in a changing world

Every loser wins, once the dream begins
In time we'll see, fate holds the key
And every loser knows, the light eternal shows
Will shine on you, and all those who knew
We nearly made it

Suddenly we seemed to stop and lose our way
But did it really matter anyway
For that was yesterday
And we must live for now

Coz every loser wins, once the dream begins
In time we'll see, fate holds the key
And every loser knows, the light eternal shows
Will shine on you, and all those who knew
We nearly made it

Stand up and count me
I know you're on my side
Shine down on me
And those who believe
That we can make it

Berlin - "Take My Breath Away"
November 4 for 4 weeks

lyrics
Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away

lyrics
Were leaving together,
But still its farewell
And maybe well come back,
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
Were leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

Its the final countdown...

Were heading for venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe theyve seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
Im sure that well all miss her so.

lyrics
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when Im older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
Cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

Im gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Ive got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
I cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is

Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson - "I Know Him So Well"
February 5 for 4 weeks

lyrics

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long.
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine?

Oh so good
Oh so fine

He can't be mine?

But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me --
More security

He needs his fantasy
And freedom

I know him so well.

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide.

Looking back I could
Have played things
Some other way

Looking back I could
Have played it
Differently

Learned about the man
Before I fell

I was just a little
Careless maybe

But I was
Ever so much
Younger then
Now at least

Now at least
I know him well

I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness

Oh so good
Oh so fine

He won't be mine?
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?

Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?

He won't be mine?

But in the end he needs a
Little bit more than me --
More security

He needs his
Fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

It took time to understand him

I know him so well

Easy lover
She'll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh you'll regret it

No you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick cos seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know

Easy lover

Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

You're the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
For she'll say there's no other
Till she finds another
Better forget it
Oh you'll regret it

And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, ooh seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh

No don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it

She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it)
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see)

USA for Africa - "We Are the World"
April 16 for 2 weeks

lyrics
There comes a time, when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth you know
Love is all we need

chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free.
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

Hey baby, you go your way
And I´ll go mine
But in the meantime

When we're together
Touchin' each other
And our bodies do what we feel
When we´re dancin'
Smoochin' and swayin'
Tender love song softly playin'

Move closer
Move your body real close
Until we
Feel like we're really makin' love

Ooh-ooh, move closer
Move your body real close
Until we
Feel like we're really makin' love

So when I say sugar and I whisper I love vou
Well I know you´re gonna answer in the sweetest voice
Sayin' my pretty lady
I love you too ooh well

There's much room for passion, ooh-no-no
There's no room for fears
When, the love flows smoothly between us, baby
my dear

Move

Move closer
Move your body real close
Until we feel like we're really makin' love

Woh-oh-oh, move closer
Move your body real close
Until we feel like we're really makin' love

In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war
but it wasn't
It was different in many ways, as so were those that did the fighting
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 2
In Vietnam he was 19
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19

The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25 miles north-west of Saigon

In Vietnam the combat soldier typically served a twelve month tour of duty
But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday

In Saigon a U.S military spokesman said today more than 700 enemy troops
Were killed last week in that sensitive border area
Throughout all of South Vietnam the enemy lost a total 2689 soldiers

All those who remember the war
They won't forget what they've seen
Destruction of men in their prime
Whose average was 19
Dedededededede-Destruction

According to a Veteran's Administration study
Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what Psychiatrists call
Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder
Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
Eight to Ten years after coming home almost eight hundred thousand men
Are still fighting the Vietnam War

None of them received a heroes welcome

The Crowd - "You'll Never Walk Alone"
June 11 for 2 weeks

lyrics
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

lyrics
Hey Frankie

Oohooh
Oohooh

I was walkin’ down the street one day
When I looked up I saw a friend
Hey Frankie
Do you remember me
You looked at me and then I blushed
‘Cause I remembered I loved you so much
Way back when we were friends
Goin’ together but then you left me
Frankie
Do you remember me
Frankie
Do you remember

You were 15, I was 12
It was summer, we were so in love
I never loved anyone this much
Look at me, I’m thrilled to your touch
Hey Frankie
Do you remember me
Frankie
Do you remember me

Oh, how you brought me down {Down, down}
All you did was run around {Around}
You’ll never know
How much I loved you

Frankie
Do you remember
Do you remember me
Frankie

He walked me to the deli then
We sat on the roof where it all began
I looked into your big eyes and
Said to myself, We coulda had twins
Hey Frankie
Do you remember me

Oh, how you brought me down {Down, down}
All you did was run around {Around}
You’ll never know
How much I loved you

You looked at me and then I blushed
‘Cause I remembered when I loved you so much
Way back when we were friends
Goin’ together but then you left me
Frankie
Do you remember me
Frankie
Do you remember me

Frankie
Do you remember me
Do you remember me (Me)
Frankie

Oh, Frankie, oh, Frankie, my baby
Do you remember me
Frankie
Do you remember me

Frankie
Do you remember me
Do you remember me (Me)

My Frankie, my baby, Frankie
Do you remember me

Eurythmics - "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)"
July 23 for 1 week

lyrics
No-one on earth could feel like this.
I’m thrown and overblown with bliss.
There must be an angel
Playing with my heart.
I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes "boom"!
It’s an orchestra of angels
And they’re playing with my heart.

(must be talking to an angel)

No-one on earth could feel like this.
I’m thrown and overblown with bliss.
There must be an angel
Playing with my heart.
And when I think that I’m alone
It seems there’s more of us at home.
It’s a multitude of angels
And they’re playing with my heart.

Chorus repeats.

I must be hallucinating
Watching angels celebrating.
Could this be reactivating
All my senses dislocating?
This must be a strange deception
By celestial intervention.
Leavin’ me the recollection
Of your heavenly connection.

Madonna - "Into the Groove"
July 30 for 4 weeks

lyrics
And you can dance
For inspiration
Come on
I'm waiting

Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

Music can be such a revelation
Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm's right
I hope this feeling never ends tonight

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

Gonna get to know you in a special way
This doesn't happen to me every day
Don't try to hide it love wears no disguise
I see the fire burning in your eyes

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

You've got to

Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free
Touch my body, and move in time
Now I now you're mine

Now I know you're mine, now I know you're mine
Now I know you're mine, now I know you're mine
You've got to

Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

UB40, guest vocals by Chrissie Hynde - "I Got You Babe"
August 27 for 1 week

lyrics
They say we`re young and we don`t know
Won`t find out till we grow
Well I don`t babay that`s true
Cause you got me and baby I got you

(chorus)

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe.

They say our love won`t pay the rent
Before it`s earn`d our money`s always spent
I guess that`s so, we don`t have a lot
But at least i`m sure of all the things we got

(chorus)

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe.
I got flowers in the spring
I got you, to wear my ring
And when i`m sad, you`re a clown
And when I get scared you`re always around
So let them say your hair`s too long
I don`t care, with you I can`t do wrong
And put your little hand in mine
There ain`t no hill or mountain we can`t climb

(chorus)

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe.

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you I won`t let go
I got you to love me so
I got you, babe

David Bowie & Mick Jagger - "Dancing in the Street"
September 3 for 4 weeks

lyrics
OK, talk to you
South America, Australia, France, Germany, UK, Africa

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing,
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn't matter what you wear, just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the street

It's an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore in DC now
Don't forget the motor city
On the streets of Brazil
Back in the USSR
No matter where you are

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the streets

Way down in L.A., everyday
Dancing in the streets
Cross in China too
Me and you
Dancing in the street

Don't you know
They'll be dancing
Dancing in the street (repeat)

Midge Ure - "If I Was"
October 1 for 1 week

lyrics
If I was a better man
Would fellow men take me to their hearts
If I was a stronger man
Carrying the weight of popular demand
Tell me would that alarm her
I'd never harm her at all

If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her

If I was a wiser man
Would other men reach out and touch me
If I was a kinder man
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her
I want to please her again

If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was her leader
On food of love from above I would feed her

If I was a poet
All my love in burning words I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover

Come here my baby
Oh they can't touch you now
I'll keep you safe and warm
I'll never leave you at all
Come here my baby
Oh they won't touch you
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease you
I want to please you again

If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was her leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love in burning words I would show it

Jennifer Rush - "The Power Of Love"
October 8 for 5 weeks

lyrics
The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
But never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout of the power of love

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout of the power of love
The power of love
The power of love
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout of the power of love

Feargal Sharkey - "A Good Heart"
November 12 for 2 weeks

lyrics
I hear a lot of stories
I suppose they could be true
All about love
And what it can do to you
High is the risk of striking out
The risk of getting hurt
And still, I have so much to learn

I know, 'cause I think about it all the time
I know that real love is quite a vice

And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

My expectations may be high
I blame it on my youth
Soon enough I learned the painful truth
I'll face it like a fighter
Then boast of how I've grown
Anything is better than being alone

Well I know, 'cause I learn a little every day
I know, 'cause I listen when the experts say

That a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find (ooh)
So please be gentle with this heart of mine, yeah

Hey

As I reflect on all my childhood dreams
My ideas of love weren't as foolish as they seemed
If I don't start looking now, I'll be left behind
And a good heart these days, it's hard to find

I know, it's a dream I'm willing to defend
I know it will all be worth it in the end

And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
(Ooh) a good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart
With this heart of mine

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh, a good heart)
(Ah, hey hey, a good heart)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh, a good heart)
(Ah-ha ah-ha ah-ha, a good heart)
(Oh oh oh, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up)

Wham! - "I'm Your Man"
November 26 for 2 weeks

lyrics
Call me good
call me bad

call me anything you want to
baby

But I know that you're sad

And I know I'll make you happy
with the one thing that you never had.
Baby
I'm your man. Don't you know that

baby
I'm your man. Your bet !

If you're gonna do it
do it right
right? Do it with me.
If you're gonna do it
do it right
right? Do it with me.
If you're gonna do it
do it right
right? Do it with me.
If you're gonna do it
do it right
right? Do it with me.

So good
you're divine

Wanna take you
wanna make you

but they tell me it's a crime.
Ev'rybody knows where the good people go

But where we're going
baby
ain't no such word as no.
Baby
I'm your man. Don't you know who I am?
Baby
I'm your man. You bet !

If you're gonna do it
do it right
right?
Do it with me. . . .
First class information
I'll be your sexual inspiration

And with some stimulation
we can do it right.

So why waste time with other guys when you can have mine?
I ain't asking for no sacrifice.
Baby
your friends do not need to know

I've got a real nice place to go
Listen: I don't need you to care

I don't need you to understand.
All I want is for you to be there
and when I'm turned on

If you want me I'm your man! I'm your man!
If you're gonna do it
do it right
right?
Do it with me. . . .

Now listen: if you're gonna do it - you know what I say?
If you're gonna do it don't throw it away

don't throw it
baby.
I'll be your boy
I'll be your man

I'll be the one who understands.
I'll be your first
I'll be your last

I'll be the only one you ask.
I'll be your friend
I'll be your toy
I'll be the one who brings you toy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your pearl

I'll take you half way round the world!
I'll make you rich
I'll make you poor

just don't use the door.
If you're gonna do it
do it right
right?
Do it with me. . . .

Whitney Houston - "Saving All My Love for You"
December 10 for 2 weeks

lyrics
A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family, and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist, being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you

It's not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you

You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy

I've got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
Cause tonight is the night, for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you

No other woman, is gonna love you more
Cause tonight is the night, that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah I'm saving all my lovin
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
For you, for you

lyrics
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)

I like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)

(Be quiet, big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)

I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lyin' there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made, ooh

I'm not in love, I'm not in love...

Procol Harum - "A Whiter Shade of Pale"
June 8 for 6 weeks

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as wellve been closed
She said, Im home on shore leave,
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, you must be the mermaid
Who took neptune for a ride.
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would

Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
'Cause paradise is where I'll be

Pretty flamingo
Pretty flamingo

When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could ha
If she just would

Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
'Cause paradise is where I'll be

Rolling Stones - "Paint It, Black"
May 26 for 1 week

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens evry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

Frank Sinatra - "Strangers in the Night"
June 2 for 3 weeks

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondring in the night
What were the chances wed be sharing love
Before the night was through.

Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.

Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -

Ever since that night weve been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel

The devil in disguise

You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise

You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

I thought that I was in heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn't see
The devil in your eyes

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel

But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas - "Bad to Me"
August 22 for 3 weeks

If you ever leave me, I'll be sad and blue
Don't you ever leave me, I'm so in love with you

The birds in the sky would be sad and lonely
If they knew that I lost my one and only
They'd be sad, if you're bad to me

The leaves on the trees would be softly sighin'
If they heard from the breeze that you left me cryin'
They'd be sad, don't be bad to me

But I know you won't leave me 'cos you told me so
And I've no intention of letting you go
Just as long as you let me know, you won't be bad to me

So the birds in the sky won't be sad and lonely
'cos they know that I got my one and only
They'll be glad, you're not bad to me

But I know you won't leave me 'cos you told me so
And I've no intention of letting you go
Just as long as you let me know, you won't be bad to me
So the birds in the sky won't be sad and lonely
'cos they know that I got my one and only
They'll be glad, you're not bad to me
They'll be glad, that you're not bad to me
To me
To me

Well, I saw her yesterday.

You're not the hurting kind.

Although it's up to you,

Pride can hurt you, too,
Apologize to her

And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. Ooh!

Chorus:
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know you sho-o-o-ould
Be Glad!
