CLOSE TO ME / THE CURE / NIVEL 3

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed
Asleep today

I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
this close to me

Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake...

But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me

But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream…

PRAYERS FOR RAIN / THE CURE / NIVEL 3

You shatter me your grip on me a hold on me
So dull it kills you stifle me infectious sense of

And drab the hours all spent on killing time

Dreary and tired the hours all spent on killing
Time again all waiting for the rain...

HAND TO MOUTH / GEORGE MICHAEL / NIVEL 3

Jimmy Got Nothing made himself a name
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day
A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie
Our boy Jimmy just blew them all away
He said it made him crazy
Twenty five years living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth...

Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep
She needs her mother but her mother is dead
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget
Just another hooker
It happens everyday
She loved her little baby
But she couldn't bear to see her living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth...

I believe in the gods of America...
I believe in the land of the free...
But no one told me...
That the gods believe in nothing
So with empty hands I pray
And from day to hopeless day
They still don't see me...

Everybody talks about the new generation
Jump on the wagon or they'll leave you behind
But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation
"Like to help you buddy, but I haven't got the time"
Somebody shouted save me
But everybody started living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth...

There's a big white lady
On a big white doorstep
She asked her daddy and her daddy said "yes"
Has to give a little for the dollars that we get
Has to give a little
They say it's for the best
Somebody shouted
Maybe
But they kept on living from hand to mouth
Hand to mouth...

So she ran to the arms of America
And she kissed the powers that be
And someone told me
(Someone told me)
That the gods believe in nothing
So with empty hands I pray
And I tell myself
One day
They just might see me...
