#43 Over The Rainbow by Judy Garland

Over The Rainbow lyrics
Songwriters: Arlen, Harold; Harburg, E.Y.;

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can’t I?

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?

#42 She's Every Woman by Garth Brooks

She’s sun and rain, she’s fire and ice
A little crazy but it’s nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
‘Cause she’ll rage just like a river
Then she’ll beg you to forgive her
She’s every woman that I’ve ever known

She’s so New York and then L.A.
And every town along the way
She’s every place that I’ve never been
She’s makin love on rainy nights
She’s a stroll through Christmas lights
And she’s everything I want to do again

It needs no explanation
‘Cause it all makes perfect sense
For when it comes down to temptation
She’s on both sides of the fence

No it needs no explanation
‘Cause it all makes perfect sense
When it comes down to temptation
She’s on both sides of the fence

She’s anything but typical
She’s so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst she ain’t that bad
She’s as real as real can be
And she’s every fantasy
Lord she’s every lover that I’ve ever had
And she’s every lover that I’ve never had

#41 He Must Have Really Hurt You Bad by George Strait

“He Must Have Really Hurt You Bad”

You put your best red dress on
And came here tonight all alone
He must have really hurt you bad

Ordered up a double Coke and rum
And hope it’ll turn into fun
He must have really hurt you bad

I don’t know your story but it ain’t hard to see
You’ve got a heart that’s broken as a heart can be
It’s probably not like you at all
To mix loneliness and alcohol
He must have really hurt you bad

Now it’s 1am and here you are
With some stranger at the bar
He must have really hurt you bad

Across town in some motel room
He’ll try to heal your past
While the one that’s lying next to you is
Only there for laughs
He must have really hurt you bad

Now, I’m the Joe that sees you up then cuts you off
And calls a cab when you need me to
And I’d like to say that only once in a while
I see someone goin’ what you’re goin’ through

Well, I need the tips, but I’ll be all right
If I don’t see you tomorrow night
Stay home girl
He must have really hurt you bad

He must have really hurt you bad

#40 Angel by Sarah McLachlan

“Angel”

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there’s vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don’t make no difference
escaping one last time
it’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

#39 Baby Your Baby by George Strait

All you know it all lovers better heed some advice,
If you’re bad to your baby, you’d better think twice.
Love don’t come easy, love ain’t blind.
You’ve got to show her you love her, morning and night,
Be there for her just to make things right.
Make her believe till there ain’t a doubt in her mind.

[Chorus:]
Better baby your baby with a love that’s strong,
Hold her and tell her you’ll never do wrong.
Better baby your Baby, ‘cause if you don’t
One day your baby’ll be gone.

Don’t let her get lonely, don’t make her cry,
Don’t take her for granted, don’t tell her a lie.
Bring her red roses when she’s blue.
Give her the best of what you’ve got to give,
You’ll be together as long as you live,
Better baby your Baby, she’ll baby you.

[Chorus]

#38 Shake It by Metro Station

Let’s drop!
Yeah, come on
Shake, shake

I’ll take you home
If you don’t leave me at the front door
(Leave me at the front door)
Your body’s cold
But girl, we’re getting so warm
And I was thinking of ways that I could get inside
(Get inside)

[Pre-chorus:]
Tonight you’re falling in love
(Let me go now)
This feeling’s tearing me up
(Here we go now)

[Chorus:]
Now, if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now, if she touches like this
Will you touch her right back?
Now, if she moves like this
Will you move it like that?
Come on
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it

Your lips tremble
But your eye’s are in a straight stare
(In a straight stare)
We’re on the bed
But your clothes are laying right there
And I was thinking of places that I could hide
(I could hide)

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

I saw you dancing there
I couldn’t get you off my mind
But I could tell, that you could tell
That I was taking my time

But I was thinking of ways
To get you staying the night
Your body’s shaking
Turn me on, so I can turn off the lights

[Chorus]

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it

#36 Amazing by Aerosmith

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin’ insane
Tryin’ to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah,I thought I could leave but couldn’t get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin’ a lie
I was wishin that I
Would die

[Chorus:]
It’s Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It’s Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you’ll be alright
It’s Amazing
And I’m sayin’ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot’s a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life’s a journey not a destination
And I just can’t tell just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn’t listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street,
Just tryin’ to survive
Scratchin’ to stay
Alive
[Chorus]

Desperate hearts, desperate hearts

#35 Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine

I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill looming

Now I’m a fat house cat
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pi—ing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill, stuck going down

#35 Amazing by Aerosmith

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin’ insane
Tryin’ to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah,I thought I could leave but couldn’t get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin’ a lie
I was wishin that I
Would die

[Chorus:]
It’s Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It’s Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you’ll be alright
It’s Amazing
And I’m sayin’ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot’s a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life’s a journey not a destination
And I just can’t tell just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn’t listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street,
Just tryin’ to survive
Scratchin’ to stay
Alive
[Chorus]

Desperate hearts, desperate hearts
