1.

Strange baby, don't you think I'm looking older?
But something good has happened to me
Change is a stranger who never seems to show

 

2. It doesn't really matter

[River Fenwick]

1. 

Let me tell you a secret
Put it in your heart and then keep it
Something that I want you to know

 

2. Round Here

[Galena May]

1. Freedom! '90

 

I think there's something you should know

(I think it's time I told you so)

There's something deep inside of me

(There's someone else I've got to be)

Take back your picture in a frame

(Take back your singing in the rain)

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me, yeah yeah

Freedom (I won't let you down)

Freedom (I will not give you up)

Freedom (Gotta have some faith in the sound)

You've got to give what you take (It's the one good thing that I've got)

Freedom (I won't let you down)

Freedom (So please don't give me up)

Freedom ('Cause I would really)

You've got to give what you take (really love to stick around)

 

2. Careless Whisper

[Adeline Morior]

#1: 

Quote

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses

 

#2: Last Christmas

[Janne Halla]

#1 -

So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think it's amazing

 

#2 - Club Tropicana

[Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]

2.

I knew you were waiting (for me)

 

1. (After I found this one, I see that River already has this ... oh well )

Heal the Pain

Let me tell you a secret
Put it in your heart and then keep it
Something that I want you to know
Do something for me
Listen to my simple story
And maybe we'll have something to show

[Prof. Felicia Hartwick]

1 - Faith

 

Well, I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like you
But I gotta think twice before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play because I played them too

Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh, when that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showin' you the door

'Cause I gotta' have faith
I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I got to have faith, faith, faith

 

2 - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
