On My Own by Patti LaBelle and Michel McDonald

 Hmm... hmm... hmm... ha

So many times said it was foreverSaid our love would always be trueSomething in my heart always knew I'd be lying here beside you...On my own...On my own...On my own...So many promises never to be spoken
Now I know what loving you costNow we're up to talking divorce and we weren't even married...On my own... once again... now...One more time... by... myselfNo one said it was easyNo-no-no ooh noBut it once was so easy
Well I believe (I believe) in love (In love)
Now here I stand...I wonder whyOoh...
I'm on my ownWhy did it end this way?
This wasn't how it was supposed to be...(On my own...)
I wish that we could do it all againSo many times know I could talk toLosing you it cut like a knife
HeyYou walked out and there went my lifeI don't want to live without you...On my own...This wasn't how it was supposed to end
On my own...I wish that we could do it all againOn my own...I never dreamed I'd would spend one night alone
By myself...Oh... oh... oh... oh...On... my own...I've got to find where I belong again(On my own...)I've got to learn to be strong again(On my own...)I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone(By myself)By myself by myselfI... woo...I've got to find out what was mine again(On my own...)My heart is saying that it's time again(On my own...)And I... have faith that I will shine...By myself... againOh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohI... (on my own...) have faith... (on my own...) in me...(By myself)By myself by myself

Australia by The Shins

 Time to put the ear-covers on

No
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
(Born to) born to multiply
Born to gaze into night skies
All you want's one more Saturday
Well, look here until then
They're gonna buy your life's time
So keep your wick in the air, and your feet in the fetters 'til the day
We come in doing cartwheels
We are caught up by ourselves
And your shape on the dance floor
Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes
You'll be damned to be one of us, girl
Faced with the dodo's conundrum
I felt like I could just fly
But nothing happened every time I tried
Woo, ooh
A duotone on the wall
Selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all
Never dreamt of such sterile hands
You keep 'em folded in your lap
And raise them up to beg for scraps
You know he's holding you down with the tips of his fingers, just the same
Will you be pulled from the ocean
But just a minute too late
Or changed by a potion
And find a handsome young mate for you to love
You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes
You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe
Well, do it now or grow old
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold
Been alone since you were 21
You haven't laughed since January
You try and make like this so much fun
But we know it to be quite contrary
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Dare to be one of us, girl
Faced with the androids conundrum
I felt like I should just cry
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
You're Himmler in your coat, you don't know how long I have been
Watching the lantern dim
Starved of oxygen
So give me your hand, and let's jump out the window
La-la-la-la-la
(La-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la
(La-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la
(La-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la
