Billy Joel – Captain Jack

Saturday night and you’re still hangin‘ around
Tired of living in your one horse town
You’d like to find a little hole in the ground
For a while…

So you go to the village in your tie dyed jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It’s like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin‘
Oh yeah, …

Your sister’s gone out, she’s on a date
You just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon, but you just can’t wait
For that call

So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Ah, but still your fingers gonna pick your nose
After all…

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin‘
Oh yeah, …

So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah, there ain’t no place to go anyway
What for?

So you got everything, ah, but nothing’s cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won’t be going back to school
Anymore.

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin‘
Oh yeah, …

So you play your albums, and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh but still you’re aching for the things you haven’t got
What went wrong?

And if you can’t understand why your world is so dead
Why you’ve got to keep in style and feed your head
Well you’re 21 and still your mother makes your bed
And that’s too long

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin‘
Oh yeah, …

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin‘
Oh yeah, …

Amy MacDonald – Dancing in the Dark

I get up in the evening,
And I ain’t got nothing to say
I come home in the morning,
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain’t nothing but tired,
Man I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby,
I could use just a little help

You can’t start a fire,
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark

Messages keep getting clearer,
Radio’s on and I’m moving round the place
I check myself out in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain’t getting nowhere
When im just livin‘ in a dump like this
There’s something happening somewhere
Hey I just know that there is

You can’t start a fire,
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
There’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me
I’ll shake this world off my shoulders
Come baby the laughs on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they’ll be carving you up alright
They say you got to stay hungry
Hey baby I’m just about starving tonight
I’m dying for some action
I’m sick of sitting ‚round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now baby give me just one look

You can’t start a fire,
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark

Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
