When I was seventeen I dreamed of being king and
Having everything I wanted
But that was long ago and
My dreams did not unfold so
I’m still the king of nothing
When I was seventeen I dreamed I gave a ring to
A pretty queen and then I held her
But that was slumber’s fault for
I have no love at all and
I’m still the king of nothing
If I could rule I’d dance my cares away
Find romance every day
I wouldn’t have to listen to this poor fool say
I’m the king
I’m the king
I’m the king of nothing
If I could rule I’d dance my cares away
Find romance every day
I wouldn’t have to listen to this poor fool say
I’m the king
I’m the king
I’m the king of nothing

Seals and Croft, Castles in the Sand/Song share
Never heard this one before, but thought I would share!
“Castles In The Sand”
Every little thing you do makes me feel good.
And I could be your prince, babe, if I only would.
And I could take you places you think you’d like to go.
And I could show you secrets behind ev’ry closed door.But it’s only the castles in the sand. I’ll never be your man.
Castles in the sand, they’ll never, never stand.
Like castles in the sand, I’ll never be your man.Now every little thing you do makes me feel fine.
And I could be your daddy, if it’s on your mind.
And I could buy you diamonds and all them fancy clothes.
And I could give you lovin’ like nobody knows.
But it’s only the castles in the sand, love. I’ll never be your man.
Castles in the sand, they’ll never, never stand.
Like castles in the sand, I’ll never be your man.Your eyes are dancing and saying to me in the sunlight, I want you so,
You are beautiful, a princess. But I’m like the sand when the wind blows.It’s only the castles in the sand. I’ll never be your man.
Castles in the sand, they’ll never, never stand.
Like castles in the sand, I’ll never be your man.
Castles in the sand, castles in the sand, castles in the sand.
See the castles in the sand.
Seals and Croft, Hummingbird/Song Share
Oh hummingbird, mankind was waiting for you to come flying along.
Heavenly songbird, we were so wrong. We’ve harmed you.
Oh hummingbird, lend us your wings. Let us soar in the atmosphere of Abha.
Lift us up to the heaven of holiness, oh source of our being, oh hummingbird.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
In you I’ve found a fragrance. I’ll love you ’til I die.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don’t even know the reason why.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
The sweetness of your nectar has drawn me like a fly.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don’t even know the reason why. Now,
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
Haven’t you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer?
And the spirit voices whisper in us all.
Haven’t you noticed the rays? The spirit sun in stronger
And a new day is dawning for us all.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
The draught of understanding; wisdom, peace and love is ours.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.

The Script-Rain/ Song Share
LyricsWoke up this morning, can’t shake the thunder from last night
You left with no warning and took the summer from my life
I gave you my everything, now my world it don’t seem right
Can we just go back to being us again?‘Cause when I’m sitting in the bar
All the lovers with umbrellas always pass me by
It’s like I’m living in the dark
And my heart’s turned cold since you left my life
And no matter where I go
Girl, I know if I’m alone, there’ll be no blue sky
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong‘Cause baby, when you’re gone
All it does is rain, rain, rain down on me
Each drop is pain, pain, pain when you leave
It’s such a shame we fucked it up, you and me
‘Cause baby, when you’re gone
All it does is rainAnd it feels like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And it feels like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
‘Cause baby, when you’re gone
All it does is rainTried to find shelter here in the arms of someone new
But I’d rather be there under the covers just with you
‘Cause you were my everything
Now I don’t know what to do
Oh, I’m caught up in the storm‘Cause baby, when you’re gone
All it does is rain, rain, rain down on me
Each drop is pain, pain, pain when you leave
It’s such a shame we fucked it up, you and me
‘Cause baby, when you’re gone
All it does is rainAnd it feels like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And it feels like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
‘Cause baby, when you’re gone
All it does is rain‘Cause when I’m sitting in the bar
All the lovers with umbrellas always pass me by
It’s like I’m living in the dark
And my heart’s turned cold since you left my life
And no matter where I go
Girl, I know if I’m alone, there’ll be no blue sky
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong‘Cause baby, when you’re gone
All it does is rain, rain, rain down on me
Each drop is pain, pain, pain when you leave
It’s such a shame we fucked it up, you and me
‘Cause baby, when you’re gone
All it does is rainAnd it feels like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And it feels like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
‘Cause baby, when you’re gone
All it does is rainSongwriters: Camille Angelina Purcell,Daniel John O’Donoghue,James Barry,Mark Anthony Sheehan

Take a listen if you have never heard this one.
Mike & The Mechanics – The Living Years
Lyrics
Every generation blames the one before
And all of their frustrations come beating on your door
I know that I’m a prisoner to all my father held so dear
I know that I’m a hostage to all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could’ve told him in the living years
Oh, crumpled bits of paper filled with imperfect thoughts
Stilted conversations I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got
You say you just don’t see it he says it’s perfect sense
You just can’t get agreement in this present tense
We all talk a different language, talking in defense
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future it’s the bitterness that lasts
So don’t yield to the fortunes you sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective on a different day
And if you don’t give up and don’t give in, you may just be okay
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye
I wasn’t there that morning when my father passed away
I didn’t get to tell him all the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit later that same year
I’m sure I heard his echo in my baby’s new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye
Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud
