Music lift’s one’s spirit and your magical melodies have brought me
great joy, love and life.
Apologies for any mis-typed lyrics and other errors, though I have endeavoured to transcribe well and give credit.
Please note that I will remove lyrics if I am asked to do so by the artists and/or studios, in respect for the artists. However, I will still list the track title and links where the songs and albums can be purchased from.
Notes: I was inspired by my best mate Annie. She made the first Lore tape of songs that
reminded her about Lore. It was so cool
and I loved it so much, I went crazy making my own. I stopped after number 7.
I thought I had finished.
Lore,
on the other had, had other plans … ;)
With
the help of Annie, Red Skye and Lyric websites, I have transcribed each of the
songs (bar the instrumental ones, of course) and given my feelings on how the
songs and pieces relate to Lore and/or Data.
Some serious, some moving, some silly and funny, some promiscuous J and some well just felt right!

LYRICS TO IT’S A HEARTACHE …
1. THE SEARCH IS
OVER (Stan Bush, 1992)
I wake up at night and feel you next to me
Open my eyes and watch you sleep and touch your hand
I feel so alive, it's all comin' over me
I finally found out what it means to be a man
You're a lady
Your light shines on me, my love
The search is over
I see all I ever wanted in your eyes
The search is over in my life
I used to be lost, wandering endlessly
I never knew life could be
Anything more than holding on
But you came along, it felt like a ragin' sea,
You've changed my world, given me strength to carry on
You're a lady
Your light shines on me, my love
The search is over
I see all I ever wanted in your eyes
The search is over in my life
From the first moment I knew
Cause this kind of dream can only come true
You're a lady
Your light shines on me, my love
The search is over
I see all I ever wanted in your eyes
The search is over in my life
I really love this song for Lore, not to mention it's a great
song! It tells of how much Lore loves
his lady. He's searched all his life
for someone and now he's found someone, and the feeling is overwhelming, and
Lore is not afraid to admit his true feelings.
------------------------------
2. HEALIN' HANDS (Elton John, 1989)
I never dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain't like a man
I can fly like a bird some days
Had a place where I could land
I could've sworn we were all I need
Ain't that what you say
I never knew it could hurt so bad
When the path of love isn't there
But, givin' into the night time
Ain't no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again
And reach out for the healin' hands
Reach out for the healin' hands
There's a light where the darkness ends
Touch me now and let me see again
Rock me now in your gentle healin' hands
I never knew love like poison
That burn like a fire
All I ever wanted was a reason
To drown in your eyes
I never knew sleep so restless
Into arms so cold
That's not the way it's supposed to be
It ain't the spell that I was sold
But, givin' into the night time
Ain't no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again
And reach out for the healin' hands
Reach out for the healin' hands
There's a light where the darkness ends
Touch me now and let me see again
Rock me now in your gentle healin' hands
Givin' into the night time
Ain't no cure for the pain.
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again
And reach out for the healin' hands
Reach out for the healin' hands
There's a light where the darkness ends
Touch me now and let me see again
Rock me now in your gentle healin' hands
Reach out for the healin' hands
Reach out for the healin' hands
Touch me now...Ohh, and let me see again
Rock me now in your gentle healin' hands
Rock me now
Come on, come on, come on...
Reach out for the healin' hands
Reach out for the healin' hands...
There's a light ...
This is a good Lore song. It
shows the pain he went through, and he's trying to patch it up. I vision the "healin' hands" as
Data trying to help Lore start his new life again, without the pain or anguish.
------------------------------
3. ONE KISS AWAY (Stan Bush, 1992)
The first time I saw you, how was I to know
We'd be here together with the lights down low
Somethin' about you, honest and real
Lettin' me know just how you feel
Hey, yeah, oh, oh, oh
A little hesitation, I can see it in your eyes
If we take it real slow we might find paradise,
So move a little closer, cause
that's what love's about
Cause it's too late to turn back now
Heaven's waitin, just one kiss away
Feel it in our hearts, what words can't say
Paradise callin' why don't you stay
Cause baby, forever is just one kiss away
I'm a little nervous, you're a little bit shy
This kinda love is the reason why
One thing I'm sure, baby, it's true
I wasn't ready for a girl like you.
Heaven's waitin, just one kiss away
Feel it in our hearts, what words can't say
Paradise callin' why don't you stay
Cause baby, forever is just one kiss away ...Ohh yeah...
I'm a little nervous, you're a little bit shy
This kinda love is the reason why
One thing I'm sure, baby, it's true
I wasn't ready ....
Heaven's waitin, just one kiss away
Feel it in our hearts, what words can't say
Paradise callin' why don't you stay
Cause baby, forever is just one kiss away
One kiss away...One kiss away
One kiss, one kiss away
One kiss, one kiss away...
You can tell I’m a Stan Bush nut! ;)
This song says to me how Lore would be with his first love. Nervous, and perhaps shy also, but wanting
to stay with her forever and show her his true love, because it's just a kiss
away.
------------------------------
4. LEAN ON ME (Club Nouveau, 1987)
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain,
We all have sorrow,
But if we are wise we know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend (Be your friend)
I'll help you carry on.
Lean on me, for it won't be long 'till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have a thing you need to borrow
For no one can feel
That you won't listen
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
Lean on me, for it won't be long 'till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me ,when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
Lean on me, for it won't be long 'till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
With each other...With each other
With each other...With each other
Just call me, when you need a friend,
Call me, Oh, baby now
Call me, when you need a friend,
Call me, oh, baby now
Call me, when you need a friend,
Call me, oh, baby now
Call me... Lean on me...
I love this song for Lore. He
needs somebody to lean on, and I think he's talking to Data here, and telling Data
that he can also lean on him when he needs a friend. "Call on me, brother...." "I just might have a problem, that you understand..." Lore is asking Data to help him and offering
to help Data in return.
------------------------------
5. NEVER-ENDING LOVE (Stan Bush, 1992)
Here in the dark
Searchin' my heart for the words to say
Lyin' alone
So afraid that I've thrown it all away
Through the tears, foolish pride
Still, somehow I knew we'd survive
Then I saw the light in your eyes
That's when I knew I couldn't hide - and then...
Suddenly, it came over me
All the times that I spent pretending
Like destiny, it wants me to be
Hear the messages that I'm sending
It took some time, but I realized
Could I ever give you enough?
I promise you my never-ending love
Out on the street,
All the faces I meet look the same to me
I wander alone
Knowin' somehow you're growin' away from me
When I look at my life
Well I know you're the one thing that's right
And I need you near me tonight
To feel your touch, holdin' me tight - and now...
Suddenly, it's so clear to me
A love like ours should be worth defending
Hold me now, and I'll show you how
This heart of mine...yeah, it's finally mending
I pray the flame is still burnin' bright
You were sent to me from above.
I promise you my never-ending love
In the darkness I believe
Somewhere deep inside of me
I know our love will carry on
Yeah, yeah...
When I look at my life
I know you're the one thing that's right
And I need you near me tonight
To feel your touch, holdin' me tight - and now...
Suddenly, it came over me
All the times that I spent pretending
Like destiny, it wants me to be
Hear the messages that I'm sending
Hold me now, and I'll show you how
This heart of mine...yeah, it's finally mending
It took some time, but I realized
Could I ever give you enough?
I promise you my never-ending love
I promise you my never-ending love...
This is also a good up-beat Lore song.
It shows him feeling guilty about not showing his love to a lady friend he
might have, admitting to her he was wrong and perhaps childish at first, and
promising to give her his never-ending love.
It also reminds me of Lore’s non-romantic love for Data. (Seawave’s Pick I)
------------------------------
6. ARE YOU OVER ME (Stan Bush, 1993)
Do you think of me
Do you ever spend a night dreamin' of me
Is there someone there
Is there a chance that you still care
Do you sleep alone
Tell me darlin (Data), are you ever comin' home
Do you reach for me,
Cause I'm reachin' for you desperately
Oh these tears run down my face like a river
And the fear of losin' you forever is killin' me
If you could see
I lie here all alone at night
I wonder who was wrong or right
Do you miss me much me, or the way we touched
Are you over me...
I see you when I close my eyes
Is it too late for one more try
Would I be a fool
If I still loved you
Are you over me...
Do you reminisce
You remember on the night that we first kissed?
(YEEEEECHH! BARF! --(forget this part, Lore!)
And our promises to love each other endlessly
Now the pain has wounded my heart and I can't hold on
And the rain keeps pourin' down and it's drownin' me
I'm in too deep
I lie here all alone at night
I wonder who was wrong or right
Do you miss me much, or the way we touched
Are you over me...
If I could hold you in my arms one more time,
I swear, I'll never lose you from this heart of mine
I lie here all alone at night
I wonder who war wrong or right
Do you miss me much me, or the way we touched
Are you over me...
I see you when I close my eyes
Is it too late for one more try
Would I be a fool
If I still loved you?
Are you over me?
Have you realised love is the reason why
I'm not over you...
This song symbolises Lore's love for Data. Ignore the touch and kissing
bits! (Unless you’re writing slash fic ;) … I especially love the lines, Is
there a chance that you still care, Do you reach for me, Cause
I'm reachin' for you desperately, I lie here all alone at night, I
wonder who war wrong or right ... and Is it too late for one more try
...Lore really wants to patch things up with Data but he's scared he's further
alienated himself and is desperate to show Data that he really cares and wants
Data to care also and he wants Data to know how much he cares about him.
------------------------------
7. STAND BY YOU (Pretenders, 1994)
Ohh, why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me, now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through,
Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess will make me love you less
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So, if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me, now
But then, what you got to hide
I get angry too, for I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads,
Don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me into until your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, Baby,
You feelin' all alone
No good on your own
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you...Yeah...
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into until your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you...
I LOVE this song for Lore. This is
definitely the song I'd sing to him. I
would stand by him, even when I know his 'dark side' and I'm sure all Lore fans
would agree with me and stand by Lore too, through the good times and the
bad. We know about his dark side and
are still willing to care for him and love him. (Seawave’s Pick II)

8. IN THE NAME OF
LOVE (Stan Bush, 1993) 4.00
I don't know much, but one thing that I'm sure of
My feelings about you
Like a any man who has dreams I'm no good alone
Dreamin' without you
Might sound crazy I know
If promised you the world
But baby, I'll never stop trying
In the name of love
I'll climb a mountain if you asked me to
In the name of love
I'd stand alone in the fire
In the name of love
I'll find the wings to fly
You are the reason why
You could never ask for too much
In the name of love
Sometimes at night, when we sit by the fire
I realize how lucky I am
When I look in your eyes, I pinch myself twice
Then I reach out and take your hand
I've got so much to give
Is forever enough
Baby, I'm livin' and dyin'
In the name of love
I'll climb a mountain if you asked me to
In the name of love
I'd stand alone in the fire
In the name of love
I'll find the wings to fly
You are the reason why
You could never ask for too much
In the name of love
I'd wait a thousand years, I'd cry a million tears
If it meant living without you
I'm right here holdin' you, nothin's ever been this true
And the reason to doubt you
In the name of love
I'll climb a mountain if you asked me to
In the name of love
I'd stand alone in the fire
In the name of love
I'll find the wings to fly
You are the reason why
You could never ask for too much
And I could never give you enough
In the name of love...
I love this song for Lore. It shows how devoted he would be to his love and what he would do for her, to show her that his love is true and he'll give her everything she wants, because he wants to, and she'll understand that he can't live without her and understand how much he loves her and she'd show he love to him.
In the Name of Lore … ;)
------------------------------
9. COULD THIS BE
LOVE (Stan Bush, 1992)
Could this be love
If I give you my heart,
For the rest of my life
Would it feel the way it feels,
Like it does with you tonight
Girl, there's something goin' on,
Do you feel it like I do
It never happened before, like it's happening with you
Oh, when I hold you, I don't wanna let go
Tell me I'm not goin' crazy
Girl, there's just one thing I gotta know
Could this be love
Tell me I'm not dreamin'
It's the first time in my life I've felt this way
Ohhh, could this be love
I don't wanna stop believin'
This feelin' in my heart,
Could it be love, could it be love
I would give you my world
If you promise to stay
I don't wanna take your freedom
Don't wanna blow it all away
When I look into your eyes,
I can see just who I am
And it's taken me a lifetime
Now I finally understand
Oh, when I touch you in the middle of the night
Tell me, girl, if it's not real, then
How could anything feel so right...
Could this be love
Tell me I'm not dreamin'
It's the first time in my life I've felt this way
Ohhh, could this be love
I don't wanna stop believin'
This feelin' in my heart,
Could it be love, could it be love
Oh, when I hold you, I don't wanna let go
Tell me I'm not goin' crazy
Girl, there's just one thing I gotta know
Could this be love
Tell me I'm not dreamin'
It's the first time in my life I've felt this way
Ohhh, could this be love
I don't wanna stop believin'
This feelin' in my heart
Could it be love,
Could it be love (Could this be love)
I'm believin'
Could it be love (Could this be love) .... Ohh, yeah
Could this be love Ohhh, could this be love... Ohhh...
I love this song for Lore. He's
feeling love for the first time in his life and he's not sure what it is, and
he's feeling nervous and shy. His love
could be for a woman, or a family member.
He's sort of scared to admit his feelings, but he's gotta know if he's
feeling love, and he doesn't wanna let go and he doesn't want to stop believing
that it is love and through Love, he's learnt just who he is inside, it's taken
him a life time, but he finally understands and feels it's all right to show
others as well.
------------------------------
10. GOLDEN TICKET (Jack Albertson, Peter Ostrum, 1971)
I never thought my life would
Be anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see a bit of good luck for me.
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
Cause I've got a golden twinkle in my eye (Doesn't he always?)
I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing
Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden sun up in the sky
I never thought I'd see the day
When I would face the world to say good morning
Look at the sun
I never thought I would be slapped in the lap of luxury
Because I have said It couldn't be done
But it can be done
Here I go!
I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there
That I'm shortly about to be
Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden sun to make my way
And with a golden ticket
It's a golden day
Good morning! Look at the sun!
Because I have said It couldn't be done
But it can be done
I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there
That I'm shortly about to be
Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden sun to make my way
And with a golden ticket
It's a golden day!
This is a short nice song for Lore, from the original movie Willy
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Lore never dreamed it was possible for his life to work out. He has the proverbial 'golden ticket' to
make the best of his life and that's what he's going to do. (Seawave’s Pick III)
------------------------------
11. CHEER UP CHARLIE (LORE)
(Diana Bowle, 1971)
You get blue like every one
But me and Grandpa Jo (Substitute someone else here)
Can make your troubles go away, blow away
There they go....
Cheer up, Charlie, (Lore) Give
me a smile
What happened to that smile I used to know?
Don't you know your grin has always been my sunshine
Let that sunshine show
Come on, Charlie (Lore)No
need to frown
Deep down you know the world is still your toy
When the world gets heavy never pitter patter
Of an Adam boy... (?)
Someday, sweet as the sun, Charlie's (Lore's) lucky day
Will come along
Till that day,
You gotta stay in strong, Charlie (Lore) Up on top
Is right where you belong.
Look up, Charlie, (Lore) You see a star,
Just follow it And keep your
dreams in view
Pretty soon the sky is Gonna clear up, Charlie, (Lore)
Cheer up, Charlie (Lore) do...
Cheer up, Charlie, (Lore)
Just be glad you're you ...
This is a sweet song, telling Lore to cheer up that one day soon his
life is going to get better, and all that he has to do is not give up and hold
onto his dreams.
------------------------------
12. HOLD ME NOW (Johnny Logan, 1987)
Don't, don't close your heart to how you feel
Dream, and don't be afraid the dream's not real
Close your eyes ... Pretend there's just the two of us again
Make believe this moment's here to stay
Touch, touch me the way you used to do,
I know tonight could be all I have with you
From now on, you'll be with someone else
Instead of me
So tonight, let's fill this memory for the last time ...
Hold me now ... Don't cry, don't say a word, just
Hold me now ... And I will know though we're apart
We'll always be together, forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough...
Time, time will be kind once we're apart
And your tears, tears will have no place in your heart
I wish I ...
I could say how much I'll miss you when you're gone
How my love for you will go on, and on, and
Hold me now ... don't cry, don't say a word, just
Hold me now ... and I do understand that
I hope at last you've found what you've been searching for
And though I won't be there anymore I will always love you
(Hold me now, don't cry,) Don't say a word, just
Hold me now ... And I, will know that though we're apart,
We'll always be together,
Forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough
What can I say now my words are not enough?...
This is a great song for Lore to sing to Data, wanting to be with him,
and Data to forgive him. He wants Data to
understand that, but fears his words won't be enough. "And though I won't be there anymore," is a sad line,
because it reminds me of what happened to Lore at the end of the Season 7
Premiere, but he'll always love Data. I
guess it's up to Data to understand how Lore's feeling. I can picture both Data and Lore having a
big hug, and sorting things out at last.
13. ANYTHING FOR YOU
(Gloria Estefan, 1988)
Anything for you, though you're not here
Since you said we're through
It seems like years
Time keeps dragging on and on
And forever's been and gone
Still I can't figure what went wrong
I'd still do anything for you
I play your game
You hurt me through and through,
But you can have your way
I can pretend each time I see you
That I don't care and I don't need you
But you'll never see me crying,
You know inside I feel I'm dying
And I'd do anything for you
In spite of it all
I've learned so much from you
You made me strong
Don't you ever think that I don't love you
For one minute I forgot you
Sometimes things don't work out right
And we just have to say goodbye
I hope you find someone that needs you
Someone who'll care and never leave you
But if that someone ever hurts you
You just might need a friend to turn to
And I'd do anything for you
I'd give you up
If that's what I should do to make you happy
I can pretend each time I see you
That I don't care and I don't need you
You know inside I feel I'm dying
Though you'll never see me crying,
Don't you ever think that I don't love you
For one minute I forgot you
Sometimes things don't work out right
And we just have to say goodbye
Don't wanna say goodbye...
Yeah! I would do anything for Lore!
But this song is also good for Lore and Data. (Just ignore the lovey dovey bits) It shows that he still loves
Data, but is pretending that he doesn't need him, and doesn't care, but he is
dying inside, and needs Data to help him and Lore will do anything to patch up
their family relationship.
---------------------------------
14. HOLY GRAIL (Hunters and Collectors, 1993)
Ohh, so
Woke up this morning
From the strangest dream.
I was in the biggest army
The world has ever seen
We were marching as one
on the road to the Holy Grail
Started out seeking fortune and glory
It's a short song, but it's a hell of a story,
When you spend your lifetime
Tryin' to get your hands on the Holy Grail
But have you heard about the great crusade
We ran into millions, and nobody got paid
Yeah, we raised four corners of the globe
For the Holy Grail
All the locals scattered, they were hiding in the snow
We were so far from home so were we to know
There'd be nothing left to plunder
When we stumbled on the Holy Grail
We were full of beans
And we were dyin' like flies
And those big, black birds,
They were circlin' in the sky
And you know what that say
Yeah, nobody deserves to die!
You know I've, I've been searchin' for an easy way
To escape the cold light of day
I've been high and I've been low,
But I got nowhere else to go
There's nowhere else to go
I followed orders,
God knows where'd I'd be
But I woke up alone, all my wounds with me
I'm still here, I'm still a fool for the Holy Grail
Yeah, I'm a fool for the Holy Grail...
THIS SONG KICKS MAJOR LEAGUE ASS!!! This is a brilliant
song for Lore. It has a great tune
also. Some of the words aren't right
for Lore, though. For me, it deals with
the guilt he's feeling for his crimes, and how he wished he hadn't killed all
those people. Lore doesn't have
anywhere to go. He's not searching for the Holy Grail, but for meaning in his
life. The line Nobody deserves to
die! Particularly sticks with me,
as it's Lore saying it, feeling guilty - and he doesn't deserve to die
either. He deserves another chance, but
he still carries the wounds of guilt with him. (Seawave’s Pick IV)
------------------------------
15. TAKE MY LOVE (Stan Bush, 1993)
From the time that we touched
If only you knew how much
That you reached into my soul
Now the long and lonely nights
Without you by my side
The emptiness is leavin' me so cold
How could I be such a fool and let you go
How could I know that I can't live without you
Take my love, share my life
Let me hold you in my arms forever
Till the end of time
Take my heart, live my dreams
We can ride upon these wings to heaven
And find what love can mean
I'll give you anything
Take my love
Girl, you took me by surprise
When you looked into my eyes
'Cause I knew how much I cared
I was living in the past
I thought it couldn't last
The truth of your love had me running scared
Now I'd give up my whole world to have you here
Only you can make my life worth living
Take my love, share my life
Let me hold you in my arms forever
Till the end of time
Take my heart, live my dreams
We can ride upon these wings to heaven
And find what love can mean
I'll give you anything
Take my love
Give me just one chance
I'll make it all come true
We're more than what we are
If we can be together
Take my love, share my life
Let me hold you in my arms forever
Till the end of time
Take my heart, live my dreams
We can ride upon these wings to heaven
And find what love can mean
I'll give you anything
Take my love...
This is a good song for Lore. It shows how devoted he would be to his love, and scared to show his true feelings in case she rejected him, and in not showing her his feelings, she left him, and now he wants to show her his feelings to show her he really does love her and would do anything for her.

16. BRIGHT EYES (Art Garfunkel, 1985)
Is it a kind of dream
Floating out of the tide
Following the river of death down stream
For is it a dream...
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where you go
And what does it mean
Ohh, is it a dream...
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and pale
How can the light that burns so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale...
Bright eyes
Is it a kind of shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
For is it a dream...
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody even knows when you go
And where do you start
Ohh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and pale
How can the light that burns so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale Bright eyes
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and pale
How can the light that burns so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale
Bright eyes...
This is a beautiful song for Lore. It’s from the touching animated movie
“Watership Down”. It has a wonderful
moving tune and words. It's a sad song
also, as it reminds me of what happened to him in the godawful episode Descent
II. It tells people the beauty and
mystery of Lore, in an almost mythical way.
That he's full of life and love, but when people put him down and hurt
him, the brightness and love doesn't show through, and all people want to do is
disassemble him and hurt him, but I'm sure if people understand him, the
brightness of Lore will show through, and his bright eyes won't close and
pale. (Seawave’s Pick V)

17. TAKE THIS HEART (Stan Bush, 1993)
I feel my empty pockets
Never bothered me before
I been there and back again
Lookin' for somethin' more
In you, I've found the thing
That makes my life worth a damn
Now I'm knockin' at your door
Well I ain't got much to give
But here I am
Take this heart
I'm no kinda hero
But I say just what I feel
I wander through my empty life
Tryin' to find something real
I ain't got much to offer
But I'd give it all to you
Take the chance
Take me out of the dark
And take this heart
You know I've danced with the devil
Thought the dance would never end
You're the only thing that keeps me
From just blowin' in the wind
Now I don't want no hand-out
But I'm reachin' out to you
And I'm still standin' at your door
Well there's nothin' for you, Girl I won't do
Take this heart
I'm no kinda hero
But I say just what I feel
I wander through my empty life
Tryin' to find something real
I ain't got much to offer
But I'd give it all to you
Take the chance
Take me out of the dark
And take this heart
Take this heart
I'm no kinda hero
But I say just what I feel
I wander through my empty life
Tryin' to find something real
I ain't got much to offer
But I'd give it all to you
Take the chance
Take me out of the dark
Oh Girl, if you'd only take this heart
Take this heart...Ohhh...
In this song Lore is asking people to accept him for who he is, take
the chance, and he'll show them who he really is inside, and to someone he
loves, to take him out of the dark and help him start a new life. The person knows Lore's "danced with
the devil" so to speak, but is willing to give him another chance and care
for him and love him.

18 DANIEL (Data) (Elton John, 1973)
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights
Heading for Spain.
Ohh and I can see Daniel (Data) wavin' goodbye
God it looks like Daniel (Data)
Must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty
Though I've never been
Daniel (Data) says it's the best place he's ever seen
Ohh, and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord, I miss Daniel (Data) Ohh, I miss him so much
Ohh, Daniel (Data) My brother
You are older than me
Do you still feel the pain
Of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died
Yet you see more than I
Daniel (Data)...
You're a star
In the face of the sky
Ohh, Daniel (Data) My brother
You are older than me
Do you still feel the pain
Of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died
Yet you see more than I
Daniel (Data)...
You're a star
In the face of the sky
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Ohh and I can see Daniel (Data) wavin' goodbye
God it looks like Daniel (Data)
Must be the clouds in my eyes
Ohh, God it looks like Daniel (Data)
Must be the clouds in my eyes...
This song demonstrates how Lore's feeling sad for how he treated Data,
and scared that he's alienated his brother from him. Some of the words aren't right, like the plane bits, but it also
demonstrates how lonely Lore feels and he wants Data to forgive him and
reconcile their differences. I also
like the part which says "You are older than me," because in a way
Data is older than Lore, as he's had more experience and can help Lore.

19. HERO OF THE HEART
(Stan Bush, 1993)
Hero of the heart .... Heart of a hero
Riding on the winds of change
Livin' life against the grain
You never lost the way
Following the dream inside you
Nothin' that can ever blind you
Driven by the power and the passion
That's what pushes you on
Hero of the heart
Nothin' ever stops a true believer
Lightning in the dark
Like a shooting star against the night
With destiny in your hand
Take control, give it all that you can
Make the fire start
Hero of the heart
Moving like an eagle soaring
In your soul the warrior's calling
From some long and distant past
The courage of your own conviction
No illusions, just one vision
Right here within your grasp
Hero of the heart
Nothin' ever stops a true believer
Lightning in the dark
Like a shooting star against the night
With destiny in your hand
Take control, give it all that you can
Make the fire start
Hero of the heart
Reach out, from now until forever
The walls are tumbling down
Hero of the heart
Nothin' ever stops a true believer
Lightning in the dark
Like a shooting star against the night
With destiny in your hand
Take control, give it all that you can
Make the fire start
Hero of the heart
Standin' alone in a spiritual fire
Risin' up from the ashes below
Truth is the strength and the power wherever you go
Hero of the heart
Nothin' ever stops a true believer
Lightning in the dark
Like a shooting star against the night
Hero of the heart....Hero of the heart
Hero of the heart
This song is Lore telling of how he can change, and prove that he can do it. The song has an almost mystical meaning. Lore can take control, but not necessarily rule and boss everyone around, and he's trying to change his ways, and stop lying, so people can see that he's not all bad and accept him for who he is.

20. TURN BACK TIME (Cher, 1992)
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Prides like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But Baby (Data) if I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay
If I could reach the stars, I'd give them all to you
And you'd love me, love me like you used to do
If I could turn back time
My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart
You walk out that door, I said that I didn't care
But I lost everything, darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know I wasn't right
But darling (Data) if I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay
If I could reach the stars, I'd give them all to you
And you'd love me, love me like you used to do
If I could turn back time
Ohh, If I could turn back time, (Turn back time)
If I could turn back time, (Turn back time)
If I could turn back time, ohh Baby(Data)
I didn't really mean to hurt you
But I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But ohh, if I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
If I could reach the stars, I'd give them all to you
And you'd love me, love me like you used to do
If I could turn back time, (Turn back time)
If I could find way, (Find a way)
Then maybe, maybe, you'll stay
If I could reach the stars...
A couple of the words aren't right, (like the emotional stuff for Data)
but this is Lore expressing his guilty feelings toward how he regarded
Data. He's saying that he's sorry for
lying to him and the other things he did, and he wants to be forgiven, and he's
really sorry about what he did and wants to make amends, and he hopes Data
accepts his apologies and sorts things out with him.

22. D' YA THINK I'M
SEXY ((Rod Stewart, 1978)
Sugar, Sugar...
She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous, avoidin' all the questions
His lips are dry
Her hearts simply pounding
Don't you just know exactly what your thinkin'
If ya want my body and ya think I'm sexy
Come on, Sugar, let me know.
If ya really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, Honey tell me so, tell me so, Baby
He's actin' shy, lookin' for an answer
Come on honey, let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further ...
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart made of
If ya want my body and ya think I'm sexy
Come on, Honey tell me so
If ya really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, Sugar let me know
His heart's beatin' like a drum
Cause at last he's got this girl home
Relax, Baby, now we're all alone
Hey, wake up, darlin, cause all the birds are singin'
Just total stranger that ain’t what they're thinking
Outside is cold misty and its raining
They got each other
Neither ones complaining
He says I'm sorry, but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind, Sugar, we gonna watch the early movie
If ya want my body and ya think I'm sexy
Come on, Sugar, let me know.
If ya really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, Honey tell me so

You really need me to answer that, Sugar?
YEAH, BABY, YEAH!
Oh, Behave … ;)

23. LET'S TALK ABOUT
SEX (Salt-N-Pepa, 1993)
Attention!
Herb, yo, I'll bet we should talk about this
People might misunderstand what we're tryin' to say, y'know
Come on... Let's talk about sex, Baby,
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
That may be ... Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex...Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex...Let's talk about sex for now
To the people at home or in a crowd
It keeps comin' up anyhow
Don't be coy, avoid or make void the topic
Cos' that ain't gonna stop it
Now let's talk about sex on the radio and video show
Many even know anything goes,
But tell it how it is, or how it could be
How it was and of course, how it should be
Those who think it's dirty have a choice
Pick up the needle, press pause
Turn on the radio off ... Will that stop us then? I doubt it
All right then, come on, spin
Let's talk about sex...Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex
Hot to trot the candy mans eyes pop
She uses what she got to get whatever she don't got
Fellas drool like fools,
But then again, they're only human (android)
This chick was a hit because her body was booming.
Gold, Pearl, Rubies, crazy diamonds
Nothin she wore was ever common
He dates, heads of state, men of taste
Lawyers, Doctors, no one was too great for her to get with
Or even mess with
The press she said was next on her list
And uh, believe me you, it's as good as true
There ain't a man alive that she couldn't get next to
Ooohhh ... She had it all in the bag ... Yeah
So she should've been glad,
But she was mad and sad and feelin' bad
Thinkin' about the things she never had
No love, just sex followed next with the check and a note
That last night was so, so ohhhh... hey ... oo, oo, oo...
Take it easy, Now ... Uhhhh
All right ... let's talk about sex, Baby, (Again)
Let's talk about you and me (Again)
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
That may be...Let's talk about sex
Come one ....Let's talk about sex...
Let's talk about sex...Let's talk about sex...uhh huh
Let's talk about sex...
Ladies (Oh yeah) ... All the ladies, louder now
All the ladies -- Let's talk about sex
All right, Ladies, all the ladies, louder now
Help me out ... ohh...All the Ladies -- Let's talk about sex
All right
Yo, Pat I don't think they're gonna play this of the radio
And why not? Everybody has sex
I mean everybody should be makin' love
C'mon ... how many guys you know make love?
Let's talk about sex, Baby, let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
That may be... be
What we have here is subject to controversy
A three letter word some regard as a curse
See he makes scenes and have a wet dream
Because he's seen the teen in tight jeans
What makes him react like that is biological
The schemes of gettin' in those jeans is diabolical
But of course he does it and she gives him rap
And before you even know it, they jump in the sack
As a matter of fact, sometimes it's like that
But anyway, ready or not, here he comes
And like a dumb son of a gun, oops he forgot the condoms
Hey...Oh well, you say, what the hell? It's chill,
I won't get that, I'm on the pill,
Until the sores, pours and stuff run down your drawers. Urgh ...
He gave it to you and now it's all yours
Let's talk about sex, Baby, let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
That may be ... Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex ... Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex ... Let's talk about sex, Baby
Let's talk about you and me ...
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
That may be ... Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex ... Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex ... Let's talk about sex, Baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
That may be ... Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex ... Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex ... Let's talk about sex, Baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
That may be ... Let's talk about sex....
Let's talk about sex, Baby ... Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things
That may be ... Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex....
Well, come on, Baby, let's TALK!

Ahh ... And who could forget - what tape would be
complete without this ol' fav'rite ....
24. ABDUL ABULBUL AMIR (Frank Crumit, 1927)
The sons of the Prophet were brave men and bold,
And quite unaccustomed to fear
But the bravest by far in the ranks of the Czar
Was Abdul Abulbul Amir
Now the heroes were plenty and well known to fame
In the troops that were lead by the Czar
And the bravest of these was a man by the name
Of Ivan Skavinsky Skivar
One day this bold Russian had shouldered his gun
And donned his most truculent sneer
Downtown he did go where he trod on the toe
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
"Young man", quoth
Abdul "Has life grown so dull
That you wish to end your career?
Vile infidel know you have trod on the toe
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir"
Said Ivan, "my friend, your remarks in the end
Will avail you but little, I fear
For you ne'er will survive to repeat them alive,
Mr. Abdul Abulbul Amir"
"So take your last look at
sunshine and brook
And send your regrets to the Czar
For, by this I imply you are going to die,
Count Ivan Skavinsky Skivar"
Then this bold Mamalouk drew his trusty skibouk
With a cry of "Allah Akbar"
And with murderous intent he ferociously went
For Ivan Skavinsky Skivar
They fought all that night 'neath the pale yellow moon,
The din it was heard from afar
And huge multitudes came, so great was the fame,
Of Abdul and Ivan Skivar
As Abdul's long knife was extracting the life,
In fact he was shouting, "Huzzah!"
He felt himself struck by that wily Calmuck,
Count Ivan Skavinsky Skivar
The Sultan drove by in his red‑breasted fly,
Expecting the victor to cheer
But he only drew nigh to hear the last sigh
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
Czar Petrovich too, in his spectacles blue
Rode up in his new crested car
He arrived just in time to exchange a last line
With Ivan Skavinsky Skivar
There the tomb rises up where the Blue Danube rolls,
And 'graved there in characters clear,
Ah, "Stranger when passing, oh pray for the soul
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir"
A Muscovite maiden her lone vigil keeps,
'Neath the light of the pale polar star
And the name that she murmurs so oft as she weeps
Is Ivan Skavinsky Skivar
It took me a while to track this ‘un down … ;) Well why wouldn’t it remind one of
Lore? LOL! I’d LOOOOOVE for him to sing the whole song for me ;) … And I
don’t care if he doesn’t get the cadence right ;)
Actually it reminds me of both Lore’s feistyness, his I-take-no-shit
attitude, but in the end, his loneliness.
Perhaps that’s why he liked it too.
