Keen Sid - Never Done That Before
We've never done that before It's something that we should ignore But that's not that easy to do
We'll not feel the same given time The vodka, the soda, the lime Was probably speaking for you
I'm not concerned with the why or the how I'm feeling all that my feelings allow Feels like I ain't really seen you 'til now
I can't pretend I feel worse But now's not the time to rehearse For what might not ever be real
We'll not feel the same given space Our hands are all over the place That's pretty hard to conceal
I'm not concerned with the why or the how I'm yelling all of my feelings out loud Feels like I ain't really seen you 'til
One day I'll wake up, you'll not be around I'll probably pretend I'm not even let down Feels like I ain't really seen you til now

Jeff Brown - The First Time
I've been staring at the wall Until the stones burn in my eyes For the climb before the fall For the clouds before the skies
I wonder how we got this far I couldn't see your lies from truth So when you told me that you don't love me too That was the first time I believed you
If we forget, we're human, though We are forgive we are divine Into the garden we would go But the fruit would wither on the vine
I wonder how we got this far I couldn't see your lies from truth So when you told me that you don't love me too That was the first time I believed you

Megalodon - My Foolish Mind
My first swim lesson was disastrous When I ventured to the deep end My instructor neglected to state the obvious
Betrayed by my foolish mind I took a deep breath of water And almost died
My chest started to hurt I yearned for something in my lungs So I overrode my instinct and took a gulp
Betrayed by my foolish mind I took a deep breath of water And almost died
Nobody told me you can't breathe under under water Nobody told me you cannot breath under any water x4
(I shouldn't have found out the hard way) x7
My dad was watching from the bleachers In this South Salt Lake high school pool He dove in , pulled me out, still wearing slacks and sneakers
Betrayed by my foolish mind I took a deep breath of water And almost died
Betrayed by my foolish mind I took a deep breath of water And almost died

Edric Haleen - How It All Began
In late eighty-nine, In the band room in high school, A friend and I sat In the band teacher’s office To listen to something The band teacher said we should hear.
At first it was just a guy talking And sounds of applauding As people bought Lots at an auction, And why this might int’rest The two of us still wasn’t clear.
Sure, event’ally somebody Started to sing, But the song and the music Weren’t really my thing, ‘Cause it mostly just sounded Like recitative, And I wasn’t impressed, And I wished I could leave, But the band teacher’s sitting there Fully engrossed, And to leave now would feel like Deserting our host. And I don’t even notice He’s bumping the volume to “high” . . .
<MUSIC>
And before high school was over, I’d bought ev’ry cast album Andrew Lloyd Webber had written!
Then . . .
In March, ninety-three, I go home for Spring Break And I visit my fam’ly And go see Evita, Then on to Chicago Where I’m gonna see Miss Saigon.
The mom of a friend Who I stayed with insisted on Getting us tickets to Some other show With a weird-sounding name In the suburbs some thirty miles on.
So I wasn’t that thrilled About having to go. And we hit a raccoon As we drove to the show. And the theatre’s staging This show in the round. And it seems we’ll be stuck With inferior sound, ‘Cause the orchestra’s Off in some separate room Looking in through a window, And I just assume I’ll be mis’rable As the lights dim and we get underway . . .
<MUSIC>
And before college was over, I’d gone out and bought Ev’ry cast album Sondheim wrote, too!
It’s amazing how something can grab you. It can reach in your brain And then never let go And expose you to so many things You might never have known . . .
Then . . .
In early two thousand, I finally purchased The debut CD Of one Audra MacDonald . . .
<MUSIC>

Grab a blank page and my brand new guitar I'm gonna write my first song, and you can bet it will be perfect
Take a deep breath and I straighten my chair I've gott have it just right cause you can bet it will be perfect

Steve Durand - Original Sin
In the beginning Darkness was upon the face of the deep And God said “let there be light” And there was light And God created Heaven and Earth And God created the Sun, Moon, and Stars And God created plants and animals And he looked at his creation and saw that it was good Then God created man Who screwed it all up
At first Everything was perfect The whole world All shiny and new
Then Eve Got tempted by a serpent To eat the fruit That God said was taboo
She fell prey To the snake’s seduction A smoother talker There has never been
So she became The Eve of our destruction When she committed That original sin
So we Got kicked out of the garden ‘Cause Adam ate it too Much to his chagrin
Mankind Got a sentence with no pardon High price to pay for that original sin
It’s said Forbidden fruit tastes sweeter It’s always tempting To take a little bite
But it ain’t fair To be labeled as a cheater It’s hard to be good When you don’t know wrong from right
So next time You tell me that I blew it And that I went astray again
I’ll just say The devil made me do it It’s on account of that Original sin
It’s said Forbidden fruit tastes sweeter It’s always tempting To take a little bite
But it ain’t fair To be labeled as a cheater It’s hard to be good When you don’t know wrong from right
So next time You tell me that I blew it And that I went astray again
I’ll just say The devil made me do it ‘Cause I’ve been tainted By original sin

Ellie Sparrow - Footprints On The Moon
To reach out for the stars To hold the little dreams To watch the world float by Would be a pleasure
Hold on to your seats And ask the Gods for mercy To push through things never known
Journey for the footsteps on the moon Turn away now, stop watching Nothing holding you back just the dreams Of everybody stuck at ground control
Everything goes fast When you get of the ride to notice Only silence to fill the void
And you know you should not be starstruck But you've been watching them all your life But you feel so close They might explode
Journey for the footsteps on the moon Turn away now, stop watching Nothing holding you back just the dreams Of every stuck at ground control
The panic sets in As the air lock is sealed And you realise Your out here on your own
Making the first footprints on the moon Everybody watching the whole world is watching Nothing holding you down Cos they're celebrating at ground control Celebrating at ground control

Governing Dynamics - Fool Me Once
Live your life, live without concern For those who’d love you Twist the knife, I feel my stomach churn All because you
Fool me once, the ceiling starts to drop The friend I thought I knew was just a prop Your indiscretions set signals afire Our need to trust, it’s making us all liars
I saw your monuments toppled in the streets That wasn’t even close to just I saw you shrug off your defeat You never said you were someone to trust
You got everything you want
Fool me once, iit all starts coming apart Why do we keep breaking our own hearts?
Surely wouldn’t want my soul beneath this microscope Where the moment you spot the truth Is when you start losing hope You saved my life and set me right That’s the story that will prevail Deserved or not, we’ll forgive This first betrayal
Fool me once, the ceiling starts to drop The friend I thought I knew was just a prop Fool me once it all starts coming apart Why do we keep breaking our own hearts?
You’ll get everythning you want

Glen Raphael - First Time (Phantom Menace)
Jar Jar blinks Qui-Gon is gone Whatever Lucas thinks is so clean but oddly empty Nothing going on There are trade negotiations There are Jedi meditations Can't bring myself to care, because
The first time The first time That I saw Phantom Menace Was the last time I trusted Star Wars The first time The first time That I saw Phantom Menace Was the last time I trusted Star Wars
They can race on desert planets They can dive beneath the core What I need is decent acting What I want is something more They can draw a thousand robots fighting ships in outer space But no CGI can fix the look of boredom on my face
The first time The first time That I saw Phantom Menace Was the last time I trusted Star Wars The first time The first time That I saw Phantom Menace Was the last time I trusted Star Wars
Jar Jar blinks Qui-Gon is gone Whatever Lucas thinks is so clean but oddly empty Nothing going on
The first time The first time That I saw Phantom Menace Was the last time I trusted Star Wars

Rob From Amersfoort - The First Time You Die
This is not a game You play again and again Actions have consequences (cause and effect)
And when it’s too late You close your eyes Too late to cry The first time you die
The first time you die The first time you die The first time you die
You may think You will reincarnate But your unholy life Has sealed your fate
Death is the ultimate purpose of life Everything will decay someday Enjoy it while you can
The first time you die The first time you die The first time you die
The first time you die The first time you die The first time you die
