“He Thinks He’ll Keep Her” by Mary Chapin Carpenter

She makes his coffee, she makes his bed
She does the laundry, she keeps him fed
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother’s lace
She said, “forever,” with a smile upon her face

She does the carpool, she P.T.A.’s
Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And ev’ry Christmas card showed a perfect family

Ev’rything runs right on time
Years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he’ll keep her
Ev’rything is so benign
The safest place you’ll ever find
God forbid you change your mind, he thinks he’ll keep her

She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits
With no expression upon her face
When she was thirty-six she met him at their door
She said, “I’m sorry, I don’t love you any more”

Ev’rything runs right on time
Years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he’ll keep her
Ev’rything is so benign
The safest place you’ll ever find
God forbid you change your mind, he thinks he’ll keep her

For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
Now she’s in the typing pool at minimum wage

Ev’rything runs right on time
Years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he’ll keep her
Ev’rything is so benign
The safest place you’ll ever find
At least until you change your mind (he thinks he’ll keep her)
All right

“A Soalin'” by Peter, Paul and Mary

Hey ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money, have I none
Yet shall we be merry
Hey ho, nobody home

Hey ho, nobody home
(Meat nor drink nor money, have I none)
Yet shall we be merry
Hey ho, nobody home
Hey ho, nobody home

Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soul cake
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry
Any good thing to make us all merry
One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all

God bless the master of this house and the mistress also
And all the little children that round your table grow
The cattle in your stable, the dog by your front door
And all that dwell within your gates, we wish you ten times more

Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soul cake
Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry
Any good thing to make us all merry
One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all

Go down into the cellar and see what you can find
If the barrels are not empty, we hope you will be kind
We hope you will be kind with your apple and strawber’
For we’ll come no more a ‘Soalin till this time next year

Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soul cake
Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry
Any good thing to make us all merry
One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all

The streets are very dirty, my shoes are very thin
I have a little pocket to put a penny in
If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’ penny will do
If you haven’t got a ha’ penny then God bless you

Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soul cake
Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry
Any good thing to make us all merry
One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all

Now to the Lord, sing praises all you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood, each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas of beauty and of grace
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

“No Witnesses” by Keaton Henson

[Verse 1]
You said one day I would catch a break
And said it like it was the flu
You said one day I would celebrate
The day I fell in love with you

So I told you, you should grieve the night
And mourn the stars above
And that those who hate Los Angeles
Have never been in love

[Chorus]
No day, no time
No witnesses, no crime

[Verse 2]
So I lit matches in our hotel room
Hoped to burn away the sight of you
And as the sun sets over Hollywood
I have nothing else to do

So I wrote down a list of all the things
We’ve never spoken of
And I wrote “Man, I hate Los Angeles”
And I’ve never been in love

[Chorus]
No day, no time
No witnesses, no crime

“Living in a Bubble” by Eiffel 65

The bubbles are not reality, it’s inside your head
Makin’ you forget where you’re from and what’s behind
Isn’t it suspicious how the world is now your friend
Gettin’ in return one thousand more than what you can never send?
Oh yeah

We live in a bubble, baby
A bubble’s no reality
You’ve got to have a look outside
Nothing in the bubble is the way it’s supposed to be
And when it blows, you’ll hit the ground
Oh yeah

The bubble’s not reality, but it’s inside your mind
And makin’ you forget where you’re from and what’s behind
Isn’t it suspicious how the world is now your friend
And gettin’ in return one thousand more than whatever you could ever send?

The bubble doesn’t make you, but it’s you that’s made the bubble
And you better try to remember that it’s in your head
The bubble is a very tricky thing, all full of hype, and it’s not easy to try to see
The way that things are and they’ll always be

We live in a bubble, baby
A bubble’s no reality
You’ve got to have a look outside
Nothing in the bubble is the way it’s supposed to be
And when it blows, you’ll hit the ground

Live in a bubble, baby
But it’s not the place to be
‘Cause it’s a place of lies and hype
Don’t believe the bubble ’cause it’s nothin’ but a dream
And when it blows, you’ll be alone
Oh yeah

The bubble’s not reality, but it’s inside your mind
And makin’ you forget where you’re from and what’s behind
Isn’t it suspicious how the world is now your friend
And gettin’ in return one thousand more than whatever you could ever send?

The bubble doesn’t make you, but it’s you that’s made the bubble
And you better try to remember that it’s in your head
The bubble is a very tricky thing, all full of hype, and it’s not easy to try to see
The way that things are and they’ll always be

Live in a bubble, baby
A bubble’s no reality
You’ve got to have a look outside
Nothing in the bubble is the way it’s supposed to be
And when it blows, you’ll hit the ground

Live in a bubble, baby
But it’s not the place to be
‘Cause it’s a place of lies and hype
Don’t believe the bubble ’cause it’s nothin’ but a dream
And when it blows, you’ll be alone
Oh yeah

Livin’ in the city means livin’ for the go
One for da money, me say two for da show
I spend a lot of cash and I buy a new house
Everybody justa watch while me drive me new car
I have everything and nothing is missin’
I spending all my time huggin’ and kissing
Sleeping in the most expensive hotels
Hangin’ out with the most beautiful girl
And everywhere I go, people justa follow me
You know I’m famous, I’m on every screen
I travel around the world in my private jet
And I see my face in every magazine
I make a livin’ as a big VIP
Life has become everything that I see
I got my name up in the stars
Famous all over from here straight to Mars

Live in a bubble, baby
A bubble’s no reality
You’ve got to have a look outside
Nothing in the bubble is the way it’s supposed to be
And when it blows, you’ll hit the ground

Live in a bubble, baby
But it’s not the place to be
‘Cause it’s a place of lies and hype
Don’t believe the bubble ’cause it’s nothin’ but a dream
And when it blows, you’ll be alone

The bubbles are not reality, it’s inside your head
Makin’ you forget where you’re from and what’s behind
Isn’t it suspicious how the world is now your friend
Gettin’ in return one thousand more than what you can never send?
Oh yeah

“Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler

(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you’re never coming ’round
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes!)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes!)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit restless
And I dream of something wild
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
And I’m lying like a child in your arms
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
And I know I’ve got to get out and cry
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
But then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes!)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes!)
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
Cause we’ll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever’s going to start tonight
Forever’s going to start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

(Turn around, bright eyes)
(Turn around, bright eyes)

Turn around, every now and then I know you’ll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turn around, every now then I know you’ll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turn around, every now and then I know there’s no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
Turn around, every now and then I know there’s nothing any better
And there’s nothing that I just wouldn’t do
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
Cause we’ll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight
Forever’s going to start tonight
Forever’s going to start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around bright eyes
