Songs:
Goodnight, Goodnight by Maroon 5
http://www.sendspace.com/file/msnvyi
You left me hanging from a thread we once swung from together
I've lick my wounds but I can't ever see them getting better
Something's gotta change
Things cannot stay the same
Her hair was pressed against her face, her eyes were red with anger
Enraged by things unsaid and empty beds and bad behavior
Something's gotta change
It must be rearranged, oh
I'm sorry, I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It's beyond me, I cannot carry the weight of the heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, hope that things work out all right, yeah
Whoa
The room was silent as we all tried so hard to remember
The way it feels to be alive
The day that he first met her
Something's gotta change
Things cannot stay the same
You make me think of someone wonderful, but I can't place her
I wake up every morning wishing one more time to face her
Something's gotta change
It must be rearranged, oh
I'm sorry, I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It's beyond me, I cannot carry the weight of a heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, hope that things work out all right
So much to love
So much to learn
But I won't be there to teach you, oh
I know I can be close
But I try my best to reach you
I'm so sorry, I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It's beyond me, I cannot carry the weight of a heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, hope that things work out all right, yeah
Whoa, oh…
Yeah
Rock You Like A Hurricane by Scorpions

Rock You Like A Hurricane
It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The bitch is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go
I've got to leave
It's time for a show
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Rock you like a hurricane
It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Wrapped Around Your Finger by Sting and the Police
http://www.sendspace.com/file/5rw2rq
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
You will see it come to its fruition
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
When you will find your servant is your master
Ohhh, you'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
These Photographs by Josh Radin
http://www.sendspace.com/file/qzqxek
You're Sylvia Plath
As you drift from the bath.
I hand you a robe
And so it goes,
The moment'll pass.
You're Simone de Beauvoir
As you get out the car.
The way you read me,
No one can see me
Is you are.
And these photographs keep me alive.
Chorus:
Babe, here's your song.
Babe, it took too long
To find in your eyes
My best surprise.
You're Nina Simone
When you talk on the phone.
You sing to me
And I'm truly
No longer alone.
You're Mary Cassatt
When people tell you you're not.
You're like a child.
All the while
I need you a lot.
And these photographs keep me alive.
Chorus.
And I wanna know what you know
And I wanna go where you go
These things remind me of
These things remind me of
These things remind me of you.
Chorus
Desperado by The Eagles
http://www.sendspace.com/file/bih0i7
Desperado, why don t you come to your senses?
You been out ridin fences for so long now
Oh, you re a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin you
Can hurt you somehow
Don you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She ll beat you if she s able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can t get
Desperado, oh, you ain t gettin no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they re drivin you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that s just some people talkin
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don t your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won t snow and the sun won t shine
It s hard to tell the night time from the day
You re loosin all your highs and lows
Ain t it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin , but there s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it s too late
Also, just another quick reminder that the activity checks for December will be done January 5th instead of today. Thanks!
