Boys Don't Cry by The Cure

 I would say I'm sorry

If I thought that it would change your mindBut I know that this timeI have said too muchBeen too unkind
I tried to laugh about itCover it all up with liesI tried to laugh about itHiding the tears in my eyes'Cause boys don't cryBoys don't cry
I would break down at your feetAnd beg forgiveness, plead with youBut I know that it's too lateAnd now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about itCover it all up with liesI try to laugh about itHiding the tears in my eyes'Cause boys don't cryBoys don't cry
I would tell you that I loved youIf I thought that you would stayBut I know that it's no useAnd you've already gone away
Misjudged your limitsPushed you too farTook you for grantedThought that you needed me more, more, more
Now I would do most anythingTo get you back by my sideBut I just keep on laughingHiding the tears in my eyes'Cause boys don't cryBoys don't cry
Boys don't cry

In 1492 by Mr. Mike

 

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.

He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.

A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.

Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.

Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.

Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.

October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!

"Indians!  Indians!"  Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.

But "India" the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.

The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.

Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he'd been told.

He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.

The first American?  No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.

WELL... THEY LEFT OUT THE PART OF ALL THE MURDER PLUNDER AND ANNIHilATIONS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE... BUT I SUPPOSE IT MAKES A GOOD STORY...

Redemption Song by Bob Marley

 Old pirates, yes, they rob I

Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Whoa! Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them-ah can-ah stop-ah the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
All I ever have
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
