Livin’ Thing – ELO

Sailin’ away on the crest of a wave
It’s like magic
Oh and rollin’ and ridin’ and slippin’ & sliding
It’s magic

CHORUS
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, ohhh higher and higher baby,
It’s a livin’ thing,
It’s a terrible thing to lose
It’s a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.

I’m takin’ a dive. (echo) Dive.

Making believe this is what you’ve conceived
From your worst day, (I’m takin a dive)
Oh moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day, (I’m taken I’m taken)

And you and your sweet desire,
(Don’t you do it , don’t you do it),
you took me ohh, higher and higher baby
It’s a living thing,
It’s a terrible thing to lose,
It’s a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

And I’m takin a dive. Off the stage. Hey!! (Echo)

Takin’ a dive ‘cos you can’t halt the slide
Floating downstream, (I’m takin a dive)
Ah so let her go don’t start spoiling the show
It’s a bad dream, (I’m takin’ , I’m takin’)

And you and your sweet desire
(Don’t you do it , don’t you do it)
You took me ohh higher and higher baby

It’s a livin’ thing,
It’s a terrible thing to lose
It’s a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.(x2)

Bulletproof – Blue Rodeo

Tell me one more time again
Just like I didn’t hear you
Like I don’t know what’s going through your mind, I do
I play the same game too
I know it’s hard to stop
Even when you want to

Now the moon lights up your face
And I can see you’re crying
You never liked me to see you cry, it’s true
I’ve done some crying too
The hardest part about it
Is trying to hide it from you

It must be great to be so strong
Never needed anybody’s help to carry on
But we’re so scared of the silence and the tricks that we use
We’re careful and we’re cunning, but we’re easily bruised
I don’t want to lie about it
I’m not bulletproof

Well I finally found the way
To hide from all your glances
Til the waiting game we play is through
I can, but what’s the use
When all I really want to do is hide out with you

It would be great to be so strong
You never needed anybody’s help to get along
We’re so scared of the silence and the language that we use
Yeah we’re careful and we’re cunning, but we’re easily bruised
I don’t want to kid about it
I’m not bulletproof

Tell me one more time again
I guess I didn’t hear you
I don’t know all the secrets that you keep inside
I tried the same thing too
But they all come pouring out of me when I’m talking to you

It must be great to be so strong
You never needed anybody else’s help to carry on
But I’m not waking up each morning with forgiveness I can use
No I’m careless, and I’m cruel, but I’m still easily bruised

I’m so tired of lying about it
I’m not bulletproof
No, and I’m not going to lie about it
I’m not bulletproof
