1. You can see the summit but you can't reach it
It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain
2. He was dancin' with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain
3. There's no return
Double helix in the sky tonight
Throw out the hardware
Let's do it right
4. The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
5. I used to come home late and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog, howling at the moon
You'd be mad as an ol' red hen
Up all night wonderin' where I been
6. Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
7. have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and
I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
8. But if I seem to be confused, I didn't mean to be with you
And when you said I scared you, well I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before and I don't want to close the door
And if you're somewhere out there passed out on the floor
9. Everybody wants respect, just a little bit
And everybody needs a chance once in a while
Everybody wants to be...
10. Times have changed
Our kids are getting worse
They won't obey their parents
They just want to fart and curse!
11. I come from the county Waterford,
Near the village of Tramore,
I’ve been living at home since I was one,
And now I’m forty-four!
12. Here's to the winners of the human race
Here's to the loosers in the game
Heres to the soldiers of the bitter war
Here's to the wall that bears their name
13. I'm a lucky fella
And I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
14. I heard two men talking on the radio in a crossfire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
well they were counting down the ways to stab the brotha in the be right back after this
15. He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells,
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell.
16. People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away
17. No mortal was meant to see such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness I'll see her again
Yes I'm gonna go 'cause now I know
18. I saw a tree-house on the outskirts of the farm
The power lines have floaters
So the airplanes won't get snagged
Bells are ringing through the town again
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing
19. Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
20. He once owned a Harley Davidson and a Triumph Bonneville.
Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs
and prays that he always will.
21. I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face I loved and I knew
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
Good luck, and I hope you enjoyed this year's contest as much as I enjoyed bringing it to you!
