"Our Lips Are Sealed" by the Go-Gos

All of the other lyrics sites I checked had some extra stanzas in this song, but these are the Go-Go's lyrics as they are sung in the actual recording:

Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well that's no surprise

Can you see them
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play, hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed

There's a weapon
We must use
In our defense
Silence

When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play, hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway, hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed

Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies

Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well that's no surprise

Can you see them
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play, hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed

Pay no mind to what they say
Doesn't matter anyway, hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed

"Thank You" by Dido

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I,
Got out of bed at all,
The morning rain clouds up my window,
And I can't see at all,
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
But your picture on my wall,
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
It's not so bad.

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again,
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply,
That I might not last the day,
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
It's not so bad.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life,
And oh, just to be with you,
Is having the best day of my life.

Push the door, I'm home at last,
And I'm soaking through and through,
Then you handed me a towel,
And all I see is you,
And even if my house falls down now,
I wouldn't have a clue,
Because you're near me.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life,
And oh, just to be with you,
Is having the best day of my life.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life,
And oh, just to be with you,
Is having the best day of my life.

"Life's Been Good" (live version) by the Eagles

And here is an industrial love song:

I have a mansion
Forget the price
Ain't never been there
They tell me it's nice
I live in hotels
Tear out the walls
I have accountants
Pay for it all
They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far

My Maserati
Does one eighty-five
I lost my license
Now I don't drive
I have a limo
Ride in the trunk
I lock the doors
In case I get drunk
I'm making records
My fans they can't wait
They write Tim letters
Tell Glenn Don's great
So I got me an office
Gold records on the wall
Just leave a message
Maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody sing) I'm cool (He's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far

I go to parties
Sometimes until four
It's hard to leave
When you can't find some more
It's tough to handle
This fortune and fame
Everybody's so different
We're all insane
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody sing) Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I keep on going guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Yeah, yeah, yeah

"Woman" by John Lennon

(For the other half of the sky)

Woman I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm forever in your debt
And woman I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside of the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Well

Woman please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah

"Wishing Well" by Terence Trent D'arby

Kissing like a bandit
Stealing time
Underneath a sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends
Valentines
To my sweet lover and me
Slowly
But surely
Your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly
Softly
I'm falling in love with you

Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers

Hugging like a monkey see
Monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler
Erotic images float through my head
So I wanna be
Your midnight rambler
Quickly
Quickly
The blood races through my veins
Quickly
Loudly
I wanna hear those sugar bells ring

Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers

"Runaway" by Jefferson Starship

You don't know how much I love you
But I love you like the sun
I'd like to put my arms around you
And we could run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway

If you knew how much I miss you
Oh I miss you more each day
I'd really like to come and see you
And we could run run run runaway
Run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway

Sun is comin' and it's getting warmer
Tell me spring is just around the corner
I'm sitting watchin' all of the flowers
Birds are singin' getting louder and louder
And here I am missin' you
Here I go I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm wantin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm needing you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm loving you
Run run run run runnin'
Run run run run runaway

And if you knew how much I need you
Oh I need you like the air
If someone should take you from me
I would run run run runaway
I'd run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway

Sun is comin' and it's getting warmer
Tell me spring is just around the corner
I'm sitting watchin' all of the flowers
Birds are singin' getting louder and louder
And here I am missin' you
Here I go I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm wantin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm needing you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm loving you
Run run run run runnin'
Run run run run runaway

Oh now you don't know how much I love you
But I love you like the sun
I'd like to put my arms around you
We could run run run runaway
Come on baby
Let's run run run runaway
Come on baby
Let's run run run runaway
You don't know how much I want to
Run run run runaway
You don't know how much I need to
Run run run runaway
You don't know how much I love to
Run run run runaway
You don't know how much I'd love to
Run run run runaway
Really like to come and see you
Run run run runaway

"Do You Wanna Touch Me" by Joan Jett

(Glitter-Leander)

We've been here too long
Tryin' to get along
Pretendin' that you're oh so shy
I'm a natural ma'am
Doin' all I can
My temperature is runnin' high

Cry at night
No one in sight
An' we got so much to share
Talking's fine
If you got the time
But I ain't got the time to spare
Yeah

Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
There, yeah

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Every girl an' boy
Needs a little joy
All you do is sit an' stare
Beggin' on my knees
Baby, won't you please
Run your fingers through my hair

My, my, my
Whiskey and rye
Don't it make you feel so fine
Right or wrong
Don't it turn you on
Can't you see we're wastin' time, yeah

Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
There, yeah

Baby Come Back by Hall and Oates

For sierrabella, my deepest sympathy:

Spending all my nights, all my money, goin' out on the town
Doin' anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes
I'm right back where I started again
And tryin' to forget you is just a waste of time

Baby come back; any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back; you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Tryin' to keep up a smile that hides the tears
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

Baby come back; any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back; you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

Now that I put it all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart?
Nothing left for me? Is there nothing left for me?

Baby come back; any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back; (listen, baby) you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
I was wrong, and I just can't live...

Baby come back; any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back; you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
