NIPS ARE GETTING BIGGER - MENTALS (M. Plaza)
[Verse 1]
Started out, just drinkin' beer
I didn't know how or why or what I was doin' there
Just a couple more
Made me feel a little better
Believe me when I tell you
It was nothin' to do with the letter
[Verse 2]
I ran right out of beer
I took a look into the larder
No bones, nothin', I'd better go and get somethin' harder
Back in a flash
I started on a dash of Jamaica rum
Me and Pat Malone
Drinking on our ow-ooh-ow-own
[Chorus]
Whoa-hoh-oh, the nips are gettin' bigger
Whoa-yeah, the nips are gettin' bigger
Whoa-hoh-oh, the nips are gettin' bigger
Yeah-eah, mmm they're gettin' bigger
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wonder what all these chemicals
Are doin' to my brain
It doesn't worry me enough
To stop me from doin' it agai-ai-ain
Wipin' out brain cells by the millions
But I don't care
It doesn't worry me
Even though I ain't got a lot to spare-are
[Chorus]
Whoa-hoh-oh, the nips are gettin' bigger
Whoa-yeah, the nips are gettin' bigger
Whoa-hoh-oh, the nips are gettin' bigger
Yeah-eah, mmm they're gettin' bigger
THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND ME - HUNTERS AND COLLECTORS (M. Seymour)
[Verse 1]
I will come for you at night time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
We will never forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
[Chorus]
We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
You will throw your arms around me
[Verse 2]
I dreamed of you at night time
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you disappear out of view
You know, I will never say goodbye
Though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
[Chorus]
We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
[Outro]
You will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
We may never meet again Throw
Your arms around me
Yeah, we may never meet again Throw
Your arms around me
Yeah, we may never meet again Throw
Your arms around me
Yeah, we may never meet again Throw
Your arms around me

TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT - THE EAGLES (Meisner/Frey/Henley)
[Verse 1]
All alone at the end of the evening
When the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have loved me, I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
(Spent my life running 'round) and it's so hard to change
(Can't seem to settle down) but the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out and turning out the same
[Chorus]
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
[Verse 2]
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow, would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom (Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door (Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
Still you're coming back, you're running back, you're coming back for more
[Chorus]
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
HEY JUDE - BEATLES (Lennon/McCartney)
(Everybody Sings)
[Verse 1]
Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
[Verse 2]
Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.
[Sort of Chorusy Thing]
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.
[Verse 3]
Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
[Sort of Chorusy Thing]
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.
[Verse 4]
Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.
JOIN IN FADE OUT
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude...
(repeat X number of times, fade)
BETTER BE HOME SOON - CROWDED HOUSE (N. Finn)
[Verse 1]
Somewhere deep inside
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever
[Chorus]
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
[Verse 2]
Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert
[Chorus]
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
[Bridge]
Don't say no
Don't say nothing's wrong
'Cause when you get back home
Maybe I'll be gone, oh
[Verse 3]
It would cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it
[Chorus]
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Oh, that's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
THANK YOU & GOODNIGHT - HOPE YOU'VE HAD FUN
