LORE’S FANTASTIC FOURTH ALBUM!!!

 

 

ABOVE THE LORE

Disclaimers, Kudos and notes:   All songs are owned by the artists and studios.  I lay absolutely no claim to them.  I make no money, gold pressed latinum, Republic Daitari, etc from this page.   Kudos to the artists of these gorgeous, lovely, moving and powerful songs.  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!

 

 

Rating M –For a few naughtie songs!! ;)

LYRICS TO ABOVE THE LORE

 

 

 

 

1.         FALLING  (Julee Cruise, 1989)

 

Don't let yourself be hurt this time

Don't let yourself be hurt this time

Then I saw your face

Then I saw your smile

The sky is still blue

The clouds come and go

Yet something is different

Are we falling in love...

 

Don't let yourself be hurt this time

Don't let yourself be hurt this time

Then your kiss so strong

Then your touch, so warm

The stars still shine bright

The mountains still high

Yet something is different

Are we falling in love...

Falling, falling

Falling, falling in love

Falling, falling

Falling, falling in  love...

 

 

"Don't let yourself be hurt this time" is a lovely line.  Lore's had enough pain in his life.  This is a nice, gentle, flowing song for Lore.  It has an almost mythical tune to it, and it show his feelings, gentle, but strong. 

 

------------------------------

 

2.         STAR BEYOND TIME

 

There's a star beyond time, floating in space

Waiting for you and me

Though we're planets apart

Love is the bridge, joining our galaxies

Come with me, we'll star trek the unknown

Where no one's ever flown

To one star that we'll make our own

Where the universe ends, our world begins

Somewhere beyond the dawn

 

On our way to the stars

Millions of lights shine in black sequence times

Strange exotic new worlds, like fantasies

Unfold before our eyes

The lights be so beautiful to see, celestial galaxy

Unfold their story, majesty

Leave tomorrow behind, come and be mine

Journey through time with me

 

We must go, our star trek to explore,

The place where stars are born

On pathways never known before

When the unknown is known, our journey's through

Then I'll get home with you...

 

 

I like this song a lot.  Of course Lore needs a Star Trek song!!  It says to me, that Lore, wants to show the woman he loves everything, aboard his space ship, and to star trek with her, to explore, and what's waiting is the unknown, the mystery, and the charm.  I'd love to  sing this song for Lore and Trek the stars with him J  (Seawave’s Pick I)

3. SHE'S (HE'S) GOT THE POWER  (Jem & the Holograms, 1985)              (Animated

            Cartoon)

 

Like a crystal gleamin' bright

Like a prism bendin’ light

She (he)can turn the day into night

She's (he's) got the power...

 

She's (he's) got the power, power

She's (he's) got the power, power, power

She's (he's) got the power

 

See the way the candles gleam

Feel the sun throw off his beams

She (he) can turn life into a dream

She's (he's) got the power...

 

She's (he's) got the power, power

She's (he's) got the power, power, power

She's (he's) got the power

 

See the way the candles gleam

Feel the sun throw off his beams

She (he) can turn life into a dream

She's (he's) got the power...

 

She's (he's) got the power, power

She's (he's) got the power, power, power

She's (he's) got the power

 

She's (he's) got the power to create confusion

Her (his) mastery is no illusion...

 

She's (he's) got the power, power

She's (he's) got the power, power, power

She's (he's) got the power

 

She's (he's) got the power, power

She's (he's) got the power, power, power

She's (he's) got the power!

 

 

This is a great, vibey song for Lore.  I know it's a little girly, but I think Lore has powers in his own special way, and if people saw those special power within him, they'd know he has the power to change and become a better person.  And I wouldn't be surprised if he turned around and did make life a dream either his, or helped someone else, because he does have the power.  It also reminds me of the Crystalline Entity.

4.         THE POWER  (Snap, 1990)

 

 

They say when you die you go to another world with white clouds white angels and pearly white cakes.  Look, if being black (an android who messed up bad and needs love) is so wrong, then I don't wanna be right.  Peace --

 

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

Quality I possess

So say you're impressed with my voice

Through the rest of the microphone that I an holding

The lyrics so they can't be stolen

They say: "Oh, Snap"

Don't need the police

So peace -- stay off my back, or I will attack,

And you don't want that

 

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

The, the, the...the power!

The, the, the...the power!

 

(... of technology ... to computers .... Sputnik)

 

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

The, the, the...the power!

 

I've got the power!  (the power, the power)

Quality I possess

So say you're impressed with my voice

Through the rest of the microphone that I an holding

The lyrics so they can't be stolen

They say: "Oh, Snap"

Don't need the police

So peace -- stay off my back, or I will attack,

And you don't want that

I've got the power!  (the power, power)

The, the, the...the power!

I've got, the power!  (the power, power) The power

I've got, I've got, I've got the power!  (the power, power)

I've got the power! (the power, the power, the power, power!)

 

 

He does have the power!  It's a great up-beat song for Lore.  He does have power in his own special way and this a great way to explore that.  I can just see him dancing along to this song!  He's not bad, you know.

You were watching me again, weren't you?

(Sweet innocent look) You should see him!  He's great!

 

The spoken line speaks to me deeply also.  Is being an android so wrong? Sure he’s made mistakes, but can’t he be given the chance he never got?

 

(Seawave’s Pick II)

5.         BORN TO BE WILD (Stephen Wolf, 1969)

 

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' adventure and whatever comes our way

Yeah, darlin' gotta make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all your guns at once and explode into space

I like (?) lightning, heavy metal thunder

Racin' with the wind and the feelin' that I'm under

Yeah, darlin' gotta make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all your guns at once and explode into space

Like a true nature child we were born, born to be wild

And we climb so high, I never wanna die...

 

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

 

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' adventure and whatever comes our way

Yeah, darlin' gotta make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all your guns at once and explode into space

Like a true nature child we were born, born to be wild

And we climb so high, I never wanna die...

 

Born to be wild

Born to be wild....

More yeah, yeah, yeah...

 

This is the wild side of Lore coming out here, well, we all have one, don't we, except I think Lore's is more exciting!  I can just picture him playing electric or air guitar!

I was built to be wiiiiild!!!....

Yeah!

 

------------------------------

 

6.         CHARIOTS OF FIRE (Vangelis, instrumental, 1981)  3.20

 

This is an inspiring piece for Lore.  It symbolises him trying hard to get whet he deserves and not giving up if it seems to hard, and to always strive what he believes in, through the good times and the bad.  It's a flowing and moving piece, and I can picture Lore clearly when I listen to it. 

 

And remember Liqueur and Tequila!! From my parody fic BAAAAAAR Trek: D-Generation Over the Limit ;)

7.         I WANT TO LIVE  (John Denver, 1977)

 

There are children raised in sorrow

On a scorched and barren plain

There are children raised beneath the golden sun

There are children of the water, children of the sand

And they cry out through the universe

Their voices raised as one...

 

I wanna live, I wanna grow,

I wanna see, I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be.  I wanna live

 

Have you gazed out on the ocean

Seen the breaching of a whale,

Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam

Have you heard the song the humpback hears

Five hundred miles away

Telling tales of ancient history, of passages and home

 

I wanna live, I wanna grow,

I wanna see, I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be.  I wanna live

 

For the worker and the warrior,

The lover and the liar

For the native and the wanderer in kind

For the maker and the user,

For the mother and her son

I am looking for my family and all of you are mine

We are standing all together, face to face, arm in arm

We are standing on the threshold of a dream

No more hunting, no more killing

No more wasting life away

It is simply an idea and I know its time has come

 

I wanna live, I wanna grow,

I wanna see, I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be.  I wanna live and I wanna grow

I wanna see and I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be.  I wanna live

I wanna live, and I wanna grow,

I wanna see, I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be.  I wanna live

I wanna live... I want to live...

 

 

This is a beautiful song for Lore.  I wanted it the moment I heard it!  It's wrong to take someone's life away, and Lore is regretting what he's done, but he wants to live - and he can't do that when he's disassembled.  He will learn to accept his family for who they are and through that, they will learn to accept and love him.  In many ways, Lore is like a child.  He has so much to give, but he has kept it hidden.  He needs to show people what he can give.  Lore wants to experience life - what it is like to really live and in doing that, he'll be growing and learning, which is what he needs - he will live and learn how to express his feelings and ideas.  This is an excellent song to express those.   (Seawave’s Pick III)

8.         BLAZE OF GLORY  (Jon Bon Jovi, 1989)

 

Wake up in the morning and I raise my weary head

I got an old coat for a pillow

And the earth was last night's bed

I don't know where I'm goin'

Only God knows where I've been

I'm a devil on the run

A six-gun lover, a candle in the wind....Yeah

According to this world

Well they say you're born with sin

But at least they gave me somethin'

I didn't have to steal or have to win

Well they tell me that I'm wanted, yeah I'm a wanted man

I'm a ghost in your stable

I'm a Cain once an Able to Mr. catch me if you can...

 

I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory

Take me down, but know the truth

I'm goin' out in a blaze of glory

But Lord, I never drew first, but I drew first blood

Lord, I'm no one's son

Call me Young Gun....

 

You ask about my conscience and I offer you my soul

You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man,

Well I ask if I'll grow old

You ask me if I've known love and what it's like

To sing songs in the rain

Well I've seen love come

I've seen it shot down

I've seen it die in vain

 

Shot

Down in a blaze of glory

Take me down, but know the truth

I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory

But Lord, I never drew first, but I drew first blood

Lord, I'm a devil's son

Call me Young Gun....

 

Each night I go to bed I pray the Lord my soul to keep

No, I ain't lookin' for forgiveness

But before I'm six foot deep

Lord, I gotta ask a favour, and I hope you'll understand

Cause I've lived life to the fullest

Let this boy die like a man

Starin' down a bullet (phaser) let me make my final stand

 

Shot

Down in a blaze of glory

Take me down, but know the truth

I'm goin' out in a blaze of glory

Lord, I never drew first, but I drew first blood

Lord, I'm a no one's son

Call me Young Gun

I'm a Young Gun...Young Gun,

Yeah, yeah, Young Gun...

 

 

I cried when I heard this song.  It has muchas guts and balls and it reminded me so much of what happened to Lore at the end of Descent II.  (Boo!  Hisssssss) … He wants Data  to love him and care about him.  He only drew his phaser in self defence, and he wants to be forgiven for the things he's done, but he doesn't exactly know how to go about it and he doesn't want to doe, no one does, not in vain.  He's young and he needs to be forgiven to start his like again.  (Seawave’s Pick IV)

9.         CANDLE IN THE WIND  (Elton John, 1974)

 

Goodbye Norma Jean

Though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself

While those around you crawled

They crawled out of the woodwork

And they whispered into your brain

They set you on the treadmill

And they made you change your name

 

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to

When the rain set in

And I would have liked to have known you,

But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

 

Loneliness was tough

The toughest role you ever played

Hollywood created a superstar

And pain was the price you paid

Even when you died

Oh, the press still hounded you

All the papers had to say

Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

 

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to

When the rain set in

And I would have liked to have known you,

But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

 

Goodbye Norma Jean

Though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself

While those around you crawled

Goodbye Norma Jean

From the young man in the 22nd row

Who sees you as something more than sexual

 

More that just our Marilyn Monroe

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to

When the rain set in

And I would have liked to have known you,

But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

 

 

A lot of the words are wrong here, but I feel it's a good, but sad song for Lore.  He was hounded by others, and forced into things he didn't initially intend to do.  And he had a lot of pain, knowing he could perhaps do better with himself, but at first, those around him (the colonists) saw him as just a thing, as Hollywood saw Marilyn (Norma Jean) as a thing for making money.  And we see Lore as more, but the one thing is that Lore can be repaired and come back, and he is a legend in his own way, and he will come back.

10. SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD (Elton John, 1976) 3.37

 

What have I got to do to make you love me

What have I got to do to make you care

What do I do when lightning strikes me

And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make want me

What have I got to do to be heard

What do I say when it's all over

And sorry seems to be the hardest word

 

It's so sad, (so sad) so sad

It's a sad, sad situation

And it's getting more and more absurd

It's so sad, (so sad) so sad

Why can't we talk it over

Oh, it seems to me

That sorry seems to be the hardest word

 

It's so sad, (so sad) so sad

It's a sad, sad situation

And it's getting more and more absurd

It's so sad, (so sad) so sad

Why can't we talk it over

Oh, it seems to me

That sorry seems to be the hardest word

 

What do I do to make you love me

Ohh, what have I got to do to be heard

What do I do when lightning strikes me

What have I got to do

What have I got to do

When sorry seems to be the hardest word...

 

 

Most of the words are perfect!  Lore wants to apologise to Data, but he's finding it hard and perhaps he doesn’t really know how to. He wants Data to care for him, but wants to know what he should do.  He knows he was wrong, and wants to make up for it, but he needs Data to guide him.

 

------------------------------

 

11.       BLUE EYES  (YELLOW EYES)  (Elton John, 1982)

 

Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes (Yellow eyes)

Like a deep blue sea

On a blue, blue day

Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes  (Yellow eyes)

When morning comes, I'll be far away, and I say

 

Blue eyes (Yellow eyes) holding back the tears,

Holding back the pain

Baby's got blue eyes (Yellow eyes)

And she's (he's)alone again

 

Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes (Yellow eyes)

Like a clear blue sky,

Watching over me

Blue eyes, ohh, I love blue eyes  (Yellow eyes)

When I'm by her (his) side

Where I long to be I will see

 

Blue eyes (Yellow eyes) laughing in the sun,

Laughing in the rain

Baby's got blue eyes (Yellow eyes)

And I am home, and I am home again

 

Blue eyes (Yellow eyes) laughing in the sun,

Laughing in the rain

Baby's got blue eyes (Yellow eyes)

And I am home again...

 

This is a good song for Lore, as it describes how he hides his pain behind his eyes, and he longs to be free to express himself, but doesn't know how, and he has an almost childlike innocence to him, but he's not sure how to express him feelings properly to others, and when he learns, and people accept him fro who he is, them he'll truly be home.

 

--------------------------------

 

12.       DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA (Julie Covington, version 1976)

 

It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange

When I try to explain how I feel

That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me

All you see is a girl (person) you once knew

Although she's dressed up to the nines

At sixes and sevens with you

 

I had to let it happen

I had to change couldn't stay all my life down at heel

Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I choose freedom

Running around trying everything new,

But nothing impressed me at all

I never expected it to

 

Don't cry for me Argentina

The truth is I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence,

I kept my promise, don't keep your distance

 

And as for fortune, and as for fame,

I never invited them in,

Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions

They're not the solutions they promised to be

The answer was here all the time

I love you and hope you love me

 

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina....

The truth is I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence,

I kept my promise, don't keep your distance

Have I said to much...

There's nothing more I can think of to say to you

But all you have to do

Is look at me to know that every word is true...

 

 

I have always loved this song – and its is also a wonderful song for Lore, despite some words which don't quite fit.  Lore wants to explain how he feels, but he's not sure others will understand.  He wants Data to care for him and love him, but after all he's done, he's not sure if that's possible, so he wants to apologize in the best way they he can and hopes Data and others understand the way he feels and help him.

 

-----------------------------

 

13.       DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME (Elton John, 1974)

 

I can light to no more of your darkness

All my pictures seem to fade to black and white

I'm growing tired and time stands still before me

Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling

I took a chance and changed your way of life

But you misread my meaning when I met you

Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

 

Don't let the sun go down on me, (don't let the sun)...

Although I search myself it's always someone else I see

I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free

But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

 

I can't find, oh, the right romantic line

But see me once and see the way I feel

Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm

But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal

 

Don't let the sun go down on me, (don't let the sun)...

Although I search myself it's always someone else I see

I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free

But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me, (don't let the sun)...

Although I search myself it's always someone else I see

I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, yeah...

But losing everything is like the sun going down on me...

 

 

Most of the words of this song are prefect!  It’s a great song for Lore.  This song is Lore asking for forgiveness and another chance from Data, and for Data to understand how he feels and help him through this new chance, and love him, bridging the gap between them, and Lore pleading Data not to give up on him.

 

------------------------------

 

14.       SAD SONGS SAY SO MUCH  (Elton John, 1984)

 

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain

And ironing out the rough spots

Is the hardest part when memories remain

And its times like these when we all need to hear the radio

Cause from the lips of some old singer

We share the troubles we already know

 

Turn 'em on, turn 'em on,

Turn on those sad songs (sad songs)

When all hope is gone

Why don't you tune in and turn 'em on

They reach into your room, whoa, oh, oh, oh

Just feel their gentle touch (gentle touch)

When all hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

 

If someone else is suffering enough, oh, to write it down

When every single word makes sense

Then it's easier to have those songs around

The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you

And it feels so good to hurt so bad

And suffer just enough to sing the blues

 

So turn 'em on, turn 'em on,

Turn on those sad songs (sad songs)

When all hope is gone

Why don't you tune in and turn 'em on

They reach into your room, whoa, oh, oh, oh

Just feel their gentle touch (gentle touch)

When all hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

Sad songs they say, sad songs they say

Sad songs they say, sad songs they say so much...

 

So turn 'em on, turn 'em on,

Turn on those sad songs (sad songs)

When all hope is gone

Why don't you tune in and turn 'em on

They reach into your room, whoa, oh, oh, oh

Just feel their gentle touch (gentle  touch)

When all hope is gone

You know sad songs say so much

When every little bit of hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

When every little bit of hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

When all hope is gone, sad songs...

 

Both Lore and I like this song!  It's a good song to listen to if you're sad and have a lot of pain, and it's not slow and sad, like sad songs mostly are, and Lore has a lot of inner pain to deal with, so it's good for him to learn how to del with it.  Perhaps one day, he'll grow be able to leave the pain behind and focus on other things in life, and move forward, and I believe he has the power within him to do just that.

15.       LIVE IT UP (Mental As Anything, 1986)

 

How can you see, lookin' through those tears,

Don't you know you're worth your weight in gold

I can't believe that you're alone in here

Let me warm your hands against the coal

A close encounter with a hard hearted man

Who never gave after what he got

Has makes you wish that you've never been born

That's a shame, because you've got the lot

 

Hey there you with the sad face, come to my place

Live it up

You beside the dance floor, what do you cry for

Live it up

 

If you smile the walls fall down

On all the people in this pick-up joint

But if you laugh you'll level this town

Hey lonely girl that's just the point

 

Hey there you with the sad face, come to my place

Live it up

You beside the dance floor, what do you cry for

Live it up

 

Just answer me the question why

You stand alone by the phone, In the corner...cry

Hey!

 

How can you see, lookin' through those tears,

Don't you know you're worth your weight in gold

I can't believe that you're alone in here

Let me warm your hands against the coal

 

If you smile the walls fall down

On all the people in this pick-up joint

But if you laugh you'll level this town

Hey lonely girl that's just the point

 

Hey there you with the sad face, come to my place

Live it up

You beside the dance floor, what do you cry for

Live it up ... Let's live it up... live it up

Mmm, live it up

Hey there you with the sad face, come to my place

Come to my place baby,

Hey there you with the sad face, come to my place

Live it up

You beside the dance floor, what do you cry for

Live it up

You with the sad face, come to my place

Live it up

You beside the dance floor, what do you cry for

Live it up

 

 

I’ve always loved this song – even when I first heard it!  It’s a great vibey up-beat, feel-good song for Lore.  It shows that there are people that are going to help him through his pain and that he doesn't have to suffer alone - people will be there with him and for him - people to love him, accept him and care for him.  The whole world isn't against him, and the people who are will eventually learn that Lore can change and there are people willing to help him do that.

16.       CATCH ME, I'M FALLING  (Real Life, 1984)

 

I lay down to rest my head,

My soul to keep that night I dreamt

It's no dream

Slumber comes and darkness falls

And shadows dance across my walls

It's no dream

Well I never sleep alone

My dream's become so real to me

I... wake up, don't sleep

The night is young

 

Catch me, I'm falling, down again

I know it's a dream, but, just the same...

 

There's a face before my eyes

The eyes are closed

I can't recognise

The danger there

Slumber comes and darkness falls

And shadows dance across my walls

It's no dream

Well I never sleep alone

My dream's become so real to me

I...wake don't sleep

The night is young

 

Catch me, I'm falling, down again

I know it's a dream, but, just the same...

Catch me, I'm falling, falling

 

Catch me, I'm falling, down again

I know it's a dream, but, just the same...

Catch me, I'm falling, down again

I know it's a dream, but just the same...

I'm falling, I'm falling,

Catch me, I'm falling...I'm falling,

Catch me, I'm falling...I'm falling,

Catch me, I'm falling...I'm falling,

Catch me, I'm falling...

 

 

This is a wonderful song for Lore and it has an excellent tune!  It's sad in a way also. It's Lore asking Data to help him, so he doesn't do the wrong thing again.  Perhaps Data can help him in time, and stop Lore from falling further.  Lore's scared that if someone doesn't help him, then he may never stop falling, and it may be a dream, but it's so real to him and he need someone there for him.  (Seawave’s Pick V)

17.       I THINK IT'S GONNA RAIN TODAY (Bette Midler, 1988)

 

Broken windows and empty hall ways,

A paled moon and the skies streaked with grey

Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's gonna rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles

Frozen smiles to chase love away

Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's gonna rain today

 

Lonely, lonely

Tin can at my feet

I think I'll kick it down the street

That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me, the signs implore me

Help the needy and show them the way

Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's gonna rain today

 

Lonely, so lonely

Tin can at my feet

I think I'll kick it down the street

That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me, the signs implore me

Help the needy and show them the way

Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's gonna rain today

 

 

I like this song a lot for Lore.  It shows that he has changed for the better, in the way that he wants to help people and show them the way, and it also shown him that humans aren't all a bunch of doofusses, and there are many who would be willing to help him, and their kindness is over flowing.  Perhaps the rain symbolises Lore letting his troubles be washed away with it, or perhaps learning to deal with them.

18.       THE GLORY OF LOVE  (Bette Midler, 1988)    

 

You've got to give a little, take a little

And let your poor heart break a little

That's the story of, that's the glory of love

 

You've got to laugh a little, cry a little

Until the clouds roll by a little

That's the story of, that's the glory of love

 

As long as there's the two of us

We've got the world and all its charms

And when the world is through with us

We've got each other's arms

 

You've got to win a  little, lose a little

Yes, always have the blues a little

That's the story of, that's the glory of love

That's the story of, that's the glory of love...

 

 

This is a short, sweet song for Lore.  It tells him that it's okay to cry and love and that love isn't always a bed of roses, and that there's emotional pain involved, but without it, there wouldn't be love, and that it's okay to feel pain - that's all part of love.

19.       ST. ELMO'S FIRE (David Foster, instrumental, 1985)

 

I've always loved this piece.  It's a beautiful, flowing, peace for Lore, to explore his inner feelings.  It has a peaceful, loving tune.  Perhaps Lore should lie down somewhere, close his eyes, and listen to this and think about his life and how he wants to make it better, and let himself drift freely in his innermost feelings.  This is a powerful peace, which I believe will help Lore, when he discoverers his deep inner feelings.  He wants to love, and be loved, sort things out with his brother, and he needs someone or something to help him do that.  Perhaps through listening to people who care about him, or inspirational pieces, such as this one, he'll gain the courage to do that, and it's okay for him to cry, because he'll be deeply exploring facets of his personality and emotions which he has kept suppressed almost all his life and he has our best wishes.

20.       JEALOUSY IS A CURSE (Noiseworks, 1991)

 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Every time I get the feeling I'm sane

Jealousy walks in cuts me down again

Just like the enemy in my brain...

Just like the enemy in my brain...

 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

(Jealousy) It's driving me insane (jealousy)

Jealousy, jealousy is a curse

The enemy in my brain ... (Jealousy, yeah)

 

Keeps coming out like poison in my veins

A suicidal sweat

And the teardrops fall like rain

Just like the enemy in my brain...

Just like the enemy in my brain...

 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

(Jealousy) It's driving me insane (jealousy)

Jealousy, jealousy is a curse

The enemy in my brain...(Jealousy, yeah)

Fear, fear, fear

Oohh...oohhh

 

Like the enemy in my brain makes me feel so strange

When it's in my head I get confused

And I abuse and I don't know what to do

Fear!

 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Jealousy yeah, jealousy Wooo!

Jealousy, jealousy yeah, jealousy ...

 

 

This is a good song for Lore to deal with his jealousy and animosity toward Data.  He doesn't want to be jealous, so if he deals with those feelings and accepts Data for who he is and realizes that it's not Data's fault for the way things turned out for him, and tried to get along better with his brother, things would work out better for both of them.

21.       TRUE COLOURS  (Cyndi Lauper, 1986) 

 

You with the sad heart

Don't be discouraged, don't worry your lives

It's hard to take courage in a world full of people

You can no side of your own

The darkness (?) in side you make you feel so small

But I see your true colours shinin' through

I see your true colours, that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your colours true, true colours are beautiful like a rainbow

 

Show me a smile then

Don't be unhappy

Can't remember when last I saw you happy

If this world makes you crazy

And you taken all you can then

You call me up because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colours shinin' through

I see your true colours, and that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let it show

Your colours true, your true colours are beautiful like a rainbow

 

Can't remember when I last saw you laugh...

If this world makes you crazy

You taken all you can then

You call me up because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colours shining through

I see your true colours, and that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let it show

Your colours true, true colours, true colours are shining through

I see your true colours, and that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colours, true colours, are beautiful like a rainbow

 

 

I like this song for Lore, (even if it’s sounds a bit girly J because if he let's his true colours show, people will know that he's not all bad, but he holds back a lot and he's afraid to let people know who he really is because it'll make him vulnerable, but he's got to realize that if people don't see who he really is they'll always see him as 'evil' and reject him, so he needs the courage to show people who he really is and I believe he can do it.

22.       TWO PRINCES  (Spin Doctors, 1993)

 

Yeah!

One, two Princes here before you

That's what I said now

Princes, Princes who adore you

Just go ahead now

One has diamonds in his pockets

And not some bread

This one said he wants to buy you rockets

And it's in his head now

Eh, ya, ya,

This one got a princely racket

That's what I said now

Got some big signal on his jacket

You marry this one your father will condone you

How 'bout that now

You marry me your father will disown you

You lead his hand now

Marry him, or marry me

I'm the one looking for can't you see

I ain't got no future or family tree, but

I know what a prince in love

Is supposed to be

I know what a prince in love

Is supposed to be

Said if you want to call me baby,

Just go ahead now

And if you like to tell me maybe,

Just go ahead now

And if you wanna buy me flowers,

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to talk for hours,

Just go ahead now

 

Said, one, two Princes here before you

That's what I said now

Princes, Princes who adore you

Just go ahead now

One has diamonds in his pockets

And not some bread

This one wants to buy you rockets

And it's in his head now

Marry him, or marry me

I'm the One you're lookin' for can't you see

I ain't got no future or family tree, but

But I know what a prince in love

Is supposed to be

But I know what a prince in love

Is supposed to be

Said if you want to call me baby,

Just go ahead now

And if you like to tell me maybe,

Just go ahead now

And if you wanna buy me flowers,

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to talk for hours,

Just go ahead now

And if you want to call me baby,

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to tell me maybe,

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to buy me flowers,

Come on, come on, come on...Just go ahead...

Go ahead no, go ahead now, yeah, yeah, just go ahead now

Yeah, if you want to buy me flowers,

Go ahead now, yeah, just go ahead now, baby...

 

 

Man, I love this song!!!

Data and Lore competing for us, eh.  They are like two princes, aren't they.

I have no doubt that Data will talk for hours, but as for the maybe, flowers and all the rest, leave that to me.  How many rockets did you want anyway?

*It is not fair.   You always get the fun things to do, Lore.*

Ohh, all right, Data.    You can talk for days.

J

 

But I think this song has a certain charm to it for both of them.  (Seawave’s Pick VI) – Lotsa good songs here!

23.       CHANGE OF HEART  (Cyndi Lauper, 1986)

 

Here I am, just as I thought I would be

I'm your friend

Just like you think it should be

Did you think I would stand here and lie

While our moments are passing us by

Oh, why I'm here waiting for your change of heart

It just takes a beat to turn it around

Yes, I'm waiting your change of heart

At the edge of my seat

Please turn it around

 

Days go by, leaving me with a hunger

I could fly back to when we were younger

When adventures like cards we would buy

And the years lie ahead still untried

While I stand here

Here waiting for your change of heart

It just takes a beat to turn it around

Yes, I'm waiting your change of heart

At the edge of my seat

Please turn it around

Turn it around, round, around, yeah,

Turn it around, round, around

Turn it, turn it, turn it around

 

Blind leading blind

Never feel the laughter

But sometimes nothing fulfils the answer

Yes, it's truth that you're looking to find

It is nowhere outside of your mind

I find my time

Waiting for your change of heart

It just takes a beat to turn it around

Yes, I'm waiting your change of heart

At the edge of my seat

Please turn it around

Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart

It just takes a beat to turn it around

Yes, I'm waiting your change of heart

At the edge of my seat

Please turn it around

Turn it around, round, around, yeah,

Turn it around, round, around

Turn it, turn it, turn it around, round, around

Turn it, turn it, turn it around....

And I'm waiting for your change of heart, oo, oo, ooh

Waiting for your change of heart...

 

This could be either Lore speaking to himself or Data talking to him.  Lore has it within himself to have a change of heart, he just has to step out of his 'comfort zone' and do it, and he will have people to support him and help him, once they understand him.
