*Full Lyrics
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we goWhen we're grey and old
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead.
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead.
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voiceWhen I shout it out loud
[Chorus:]
It's my life

I ain't gonna live forever

My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet
,Sat by the river and it made me complete.Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
I came across a fallen tree,
I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
SO if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,Somewhere only we know.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?

I’ve done my sentence, but committed no crime
And bad mistakes, I’ve made a few.
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face,But I’ve come through
CHORUS
We are the champions, my friend
And we’ll keep on fighting to the end.
We are the champions (x2)
No time for losers ‘cos

I’ve taken my bows and my curtain call
You’ve brought me fame and everything that goes with it; I thank you all,
But it’s been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise.
I consider it a challenge
Before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose.

Last Friday Night – Katie Perry
There's a stranger in my bed,
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a minibar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbie's on the barbeque
This a hickey or a bruise?
( Pre-Chorus )
Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwedOh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure
It ruled
Damn
( Chorus )
Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on tabletops
And we took too many shotsThink we kissed but I forgot
Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a menage a trois
Last Friday night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop Whoa
But this Friday night
Do it all again
This Friday night

Trying to connect the dots
Don't know what to tell my boss
Think the city towed my car
Chandelier is on the floor
Ripped my favorite party dress
Warrants out for my arrest
Think I need a ginger ale
That was such an epic fail

Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwedOh well
It's a blacked out blur

"I Feel Pretty / Unpretty" - GLEE
I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who’s inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today
My outsides are cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I’m through
It’s because of you
I’ve tried different waysBut it’s all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I’m just trippin’
You can buy your hair if it won’t grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make
But if you can’t look inside you
Find out who am I toBe in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
Never insecure until I met you
Now I’m being stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I’ll get back to me (hey)
