[Verse] In the city lights I found you there With a grin so wild and a fiery flare Street sounds echo in our racing hearts Tonight the world is ours we'll play our parts [Verse 2] Hand in hand we roam through neon streets Dancing shadows tangled in our beats Whispers carry secrets in the air We'll rewrite the night a perfect pair [Chorus] Crash the gates we'll make it ours Run the race reach for the stars In this chaos we'll ignite Shine like rebels through the night [Verse 3] Window panes reflect a daring dream In my eyes you see a restless gleam Sirens sing their haunting lullaby But with you here we'll touch the sky [Bridge] Feel the thunder in our veins Through the struggles through the pains Rising high with every step we take Tonight we burn we never break [Chorus] Crash the gates we'll make it ours Run the race reach for the stars In this chaos we'll ignite Shine like rebels through the night
Verse 1: (Bass line kicks in, piano riff sparkles) Ben likes men, he’s a cool kinda guy, Snappin’ his fingers under that pink sky. Doesn’t need no gals, no he’s got his plan, Ben’s on the scene, lovin’ all his men! Chorus: (Backup singers chime in: "Shoo-bop, shoo-bop!" and "Oh, yeah!") Ben likes men, and he’s feelin’ so free, Dancin’ through life, just the way he should be. Ben likes men, and he’s not gonna hide, He’s swingin’ and swayin’ with his fellas tonight. Verse 2: (Jazzy guitar licks, drums in a shuffle beat) He’s sharp in his jacket, with a gleam in his eye, When the boys come around, Ben’s the guy they rely. No dames on his mind, he’s got love to share, For his boys up high or anywhere! Bridge: (Saxophone solo, backup singers harmonising "Ooh-doo-wop, doo-wah!") Ben likes his men, on the roof, in the shower, He’s livin’ his truth every single hour. Why should he hide? No, he’s gotta shine, Ben’s got the love that’s one of a kind! Chorus: (Big band energy, everyone clapping along) Ben likes men, he’s a top-notch fella, Lovin’ his life with a handsome young fella. Ben likes men, and he’s feelin’ the heat, Rockin’ and rollin’ with the boys on the street. Verse 3: (Tempo picks up slightly, piano riff dances) The jukebox plays, and he’s tapping his feet, With his favourite guy, he’s making it sweet. No closets for Ben, no, he’s out in the light, Under neon signs, he’s shining so bright. Outro: (Slow fade, dreamy harmonies) Ben likes men, he’s a star on the floor, A lover, a dreamer, and so much more. Oh, Ben likes men, and we’re cheering him on, In the 50s diner, his love’s never gone.
(Verse 1) I line it up, take my shot, The ball rolls smooth, it’s getting hot, A little spin, a little grace, I watch it move, it’s on its chase. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, it’s so close, I feel the thrill, Every turn, every hill, Will it drop? Will it fall? I’m waiting for that final call. (Chorus) Roll, roll, roll, straight to the hole, I see it fall, deep in my soul, From the tee to the green, it’s all so fine, Just one more stroke and it’s all mine! Hole in one, yeah, that’s the goal, Rolling like a dream, straight to the hole. (Verse 2) Through the sand, past the trees, A little luck, a little breeze, My heart’s racing, the ball’s in flight, I know it’s gonna feel just right. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, it’s so close, can you feel the glow? The tension’s high, but here we go, It’s spinning fast, I’m on the edge, Will it land or just wedge? (Chorus) Roll, roll, roll, straight to the hole, I see it fall, deep in my soul, From the tee to the green, it’s all so fine, Just one more stroke and it’s all mine! Hole in one, yeah, that’s the goal, Rolling like a dream, straight to the hole. (Bridge) Oh, the crowd is cheering now, I see that flag, I know I’ll show how, Just a little tap and then, oh! The ball’s gone in, the game is won! (Chorus) Roll, roll, roll, straight to the hole, I see it fall, deep in my soul, From the tee to the green, it’s all so fine, Just one more stroke and it’s all mine! Hole in one, yeah, that’s the goal, Rolling like a dream, straight to the hole. (Outro) Hole in one... hole in one... Yeah, I did it, and now I’m done.

[Verse] We're living skyscrapers reaching clouds But under bridges sleeping loud A shiny world with rust beneath A smiling face with grief beneath [Verse 2] We preach for peace and build up walls With broken dreams in shopping malls We're chasing stars but feel so small In crowded rooms yet lonely calls [Chorus] Contradictions in the wind We're loving hard but hearts are pinned Cheerful murals painted thin Bitter truths packed deep within [Verse 3] Plastic oceans deep and wide Natural lands with crops all fried We keep on taking from the tide But in our hearts nowhere to hide [Verse 4] We say we're free but bound by screens Lost in scripts and hidden scenes Cities bright yet forests fade Calling nature but we're afraid [Chorus] Contradictions in the wind We're loving hard but hearts are pinned Cheerful murals painted thin Bitter truths packed deep within
(Verse 1) Sa gitna ng gulo, hanapin ang kapayapaan, Piliin ang tama, iwasan ang kasamaan. Huwag magpadala sa tukso, maging malakas, Iwasan ang droga, ang buhay ay isang biyaya. (Chorus) Für Elise, himig ng pag-asa, Layuan ang droga, ang buhay ay sagana. Piliin ang tama, iwasan ang masama, Magkaroon ng lakas, maging matatag. (Verse 2) Ang droga'y lason, sumisira sa buhay, Huwag magpadala, iwasan ang gulo. Pumili ng tama, maging matatag, Ang buhay ay isang regalo, dapat pahalagahan.
[Verse] Ny natt og lys som flimrer nå Tomme gater ser jeg på Skyggene de danser vilt Drømmer om en annen tid [Verse 2] Mørket faller over byen min Ingen stjerner ser jeg inn Minner som en fjern refreng Hjertet banker altfor svakt [Chorus] Ensom i et neon hav Ingen som kan høre meg Håper på et mirakel nå Kan du lyse opp for meg [Verse 3] Gatelampene de blinker Ingen steder jeg får sove Gamle sanger ingen ny Livet føles som en døs [Chorus] Ensom i et neon hav Ingen som kan høre meg Håper på et mirakel nå Kan du lyse opp for meg [Bridge] Hver dag føles som en serie Jeg går rundt som i en trance Gleder meg til noe annet Kjenne glede innenfor
[Verse] Looking at my phone all alone Your name used to light it up bright Now it's just a ghost in the night I'm left picking up pieces of stone [Verse 2] You said forever but you lied I thought we were solid as gold Now I'm out here in the cold Searching for tears that I cried [Chorus] Broke heart echoes in my mind Memories so cruel and unkind Once was love now I'm blind Stumbling through the moments we rewind [Verse 3] Every song we sang loud and proud Now they haunt me in the dark Like a whisper faded and stark Our promises lost in the crowd [Verse 4] Missed calls and messages unsent Wondering where it all went wrong This empty feeling so strong Our love was money all foolishly spent [Bridge] Time heals they always say But it's leaving scars along the way And though I beg and though I pray The pain in my heart's here to stay
