You're gonna find that it's half past four right now.

And if you're looking for a face in the crowd,

You're gonna find my heart beating..."

You play the guitar on the MTV

That ain't workin', that's the way you do it

Money for nothing and chicks for free..."

Want my, I want my MTV!"

Lived a man who sailed to sea

For forty days and forty nights, no ship or land in sight..."

Chorus:

"Oh let's make it easy, let's make it right

I don't want to know just where you're going tonight

I just want to know I'll be in your arms when you get there

The rest don't count

Oh, let's talk it over, let's talk it out

Just what is this thing that it's all about?"

"These mist covered mountains

Are a home now for me

But my home is the lowlands

And always will be..."

"Brothers in arms

Walkin' together, side by side

For there are more of us here

Than there are over there

And that's a fact..."

5. "Romeo and Juliet" (1980)

"A story we all know from long, long ago

Two young lovers from Verona

Caught in a fight between two families

Their parents try to keep them apart..."

Chorus:

"Romeo and Juliet, Juliet and Romeo

A time there was when we were young

There was a chance but now it's gone..."
