If you want my sympathy
Just open your heart to me
And you'll get whatever you'll ever need
You think that's too high for you
Oh baby, I would die for you
When there's nothin' left
You know where I'll be

Lay back in the arms of someone
You give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
Lay back in the arms of someone
When you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

So baby just call on me
When you want all of me
And I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
And there's nothing I won't do
'Cause baby I just live for you
With nothing to hide, no need to pretend
Oo oo ooh

Lay back in the arms of someone
You give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
Lay back in the arms of someone
When you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Oh I know you think that's too high for you
But baby, I would die for you
When there's nothing left
I'll be with you

Lay back in the arms of someone
You give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
(Ba...aby!)
Lay back in the arms of someone
When you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
(Oh yeah!)

(Lord, I know!)
ALIVE AND KICKING
SIMPLE MINDS
SONGWRITER: JAMES KERR; CHARLES BURCHILL & MICHAEL JOSEPH MACNEIL
COUNTRY: SCHOTLAND
ALBUM: ONCE UPON A TIME
LABEL:VIRGIN RECORDS
GENRE: PÓS-PUNK
YEAR: 1985

Once Upon a Time is the seventh studio album by Scottish pop rock band Simple Minds, released in October 1985 by record label Virgin (A&M in the US).
The record paired the group with music producer Jimmy Iovine. He had worked with artists featuring an aggressive guitar-based sound, including singer-songwriters Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Nicks, and he brought that approach to the band. Iovine particularly pushed frontman Jim Kerr, aiming for more energetic sounding vocals.
Although already successful in their native U.K. and various countries in Europe and Oceania, Simple Minds had also recently become popular in the U.S., mainly due to the Keith Forsey and Steve Schiff-penned "Don't You (Forget About Me)". That track appeared on The Breakfast Club soundtrack and had become a #1 hit there. However, the band deliberately left the track off the album due to their reluctance to record it. Still, the bombastic pop rock sound proved influential in the construction of much of Once Upon a Time, particularly the arena-friendly single "Alive and Kicking". Once Upon a Time also shared many influences with their previous studio album, Sparkle in the Rain, which explored a similar songwriting style.
You turn me on, you lift me up
And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you
You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you

Now it's all or nothing
'Cause you say you'll follow through
You follow me, and I, I, I follow you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who's gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive

Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see
Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come
And the lights that shine on
But if that don't mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
You'll take me home where the magic's from
And I'll be with you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
In the final seconds who's gonna save you?

Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking
Oh, Alive and Kicking

Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking.

TEARS FOR FEARS

ALBUM: Songs From The Big Chair
LABEL: FONTANA RECORDS
GENRE: NEW WAVE
YEAR: 1985

Songs from the Big Chair is the second studio album by the British rock/pop band Tears for Fears, released on 25 February 1985 by Phonogram Records. The album peaked at number two in the UK and number one in the US and Canada. It spawned the international hit singles "Mothers Talk", "Shout", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", "Head Over Heels", and "I Believe". It remains their best-selling album to date.
Tears for Fears are an English pop rock band formed in Bath in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate, they were initially associated with the new wave synthesizer bands of the early 1980s but later branched out into mainstream rock and pop, which led to international chart success. They were part of the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US.
Their debut album, The Hurting, reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, while their second album, Songs from the Big Chair, reached number one on the US Billboard 200, achieving multi-platinum status in both the UK and the US. Their second album contained two Billboard Hot 100 number ones: "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"', the latter winning the Brit Award for Best British Single in 1986.
      Smith and Orzabal parted company in 1991, after the release of their third platinum-selling álbum The Seeds of Love (1989), though Orzabal retained the Tears for Fears name throughout the remainder of the 1990s. The duo re-formed in 2000 and released an album of new material, Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, in 2004. Since 2013, the duo have been working on their seventh album. Tears for Fears have sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
I believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
We will be strong, oh yes we will be strong
And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words
Is it absurd or am I being real?

I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for
They would just pour like every drop of rain
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time
You would not resign yourself, resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's written in the stars, that's fine
I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too

I believe that if you're bristling while you hear this song
I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve?
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness
In the night time, in the storm, in the casino
Casino Spanish eyes

I believe, no I can't believe
That every time you hear a newborn scream
You just can't see the shaping of a life

The shaping of a life.

TEARS IN MY EYES

JOHN MAYALL & THE BLUESBREAKERS
SONGWRITER: JOHN MAYALL
COUNTRY: U.K.
ALBUM: CRUSADE
LABEL: LONDON RECORDS
GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 1967

John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers was an English blues rock band, led by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist John Mayall, OBE. While never producing a radio-friendly hit on their own, the Bluesbreakers greatest legacy is as an incubator for British rock and blues musicians. Many of the best known bands to come out of Britain in the 1960s and 1970s had members that came through the Bluesbreakers at one time, forming the foundation of British blues music that still appears heavily in classic rock radio. Among those with a tenure in the Bluesbreakers are Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce (later of Cream), Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie (who would form Fleetwood Mac), Mick Taylor (the Rolling Stones), Aynsley Dunbar (Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention), and numerous other musicians.
Mayall used the band name between 1963 and 1967, but then dropped it for some fifteen years. However, in 1982 a 'Return of the Bluesbreakers' was announced, and the name was in use until the band again dissolved in 2008, to be resurrected again in 2009. The name has become generic, without a clear distinction between recordings that are to be credited to Mayall alone and recordings that are to be credited to Mayall and his band.
Crusade is the fourth album and third studio album by the British blues rock band John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, released on 1 September 1967 on Decca Records. It was the follow-up to A Hard Road, also released in 1967. As with their two previous albums, Crusade was produced by Mike Vernon. The album was the first recordings of the then-18-year-old guitarist, Mick Taylor.
Tears in my eyes... and my body is all in pain
Tears in my eyes... and my body is all in pain
I just can't stop crying, till i see your face again

If you saw my heart, you would be seeing how I feel
If you saw my heart, you would be seeing how I feel
I just can't believe, that my pain could be so real

Tears in my eyes... every time you drive me away
Tears in my eyes... every time you drive me away
Please leave me alone, till tomorrow is yesterday
