My Substitute For Love
(My Substitute For Love / Madonna)
by Sharonne

I feel alone, abandoned from love
Thoughts scattered through time
my past haunts me
I know this will end
as soon as I let go of
My subsitute for love

His face is beautiful
It's like a dream
Felt and self explanatory
eyes see inside my soul
please, my substitute for love
Let me go!

I crave for him
for he is my projected love
I see him, I hear him, I feel him
only through this, can I survive
the loneliness I feel
You give me everything
My substitute for love

At night I dream the dream of lovers
You love me for who I am
I cry, you comfort
You feel my life go past
and carry my burden
My substitute for love

Soon the time will come
When my goodbye is said
I will have seen inside his eyes
and love him for time to come

But for now, love me like I love you
My substitute for love


Strong
(Strong by Robbie Williams/Guy Chambers)
by Sehkmet

My name's Max and I'm real sad
Marcus Aurelius should've been my dad
But now he's dead and now Rome really misses him
And every evening when I get in
Commodus haunts me - want to kill him
But how?
He's the new caesar

And I know, and I know
That old Rome's a mess
And I'm trying to help
But they keep shoving tigers in my face
You think that I'm strong
You're not wrong, not wrong
I'll take them all on, all on, all on.

My life right now is pretty glum
Fantasies of Elysium
brighten my gladiator days
But Proximo's deal comes shining through -
When I meet Commodus I'll know what to do!
He'll lie dead, and I will be avenged!

And I know, and I know
That old Rome's a mess
And I'm trying to help
But they keep shoving tigers in my face
You think that I'm strong
You're not wrong, not wrong
I'll take them all on, all on, all on.

If I did it all again I'd stay a farmer
The food was much better and the weather warmer
It's so calm
And so warm
But life's too short to be afraid -
Strive for Elysium!


Max the Knife
(Mack the Knife, Kurt Weil/Bobby Darin)
By Mary

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a short sword has MaxHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his sword, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Sturdy gauntlets wears MaxHeath, dear
So there's not a trace of red

In the arena Sunday morning
Lies a body on the sand
Someone's standing with his sword there
Is that someone Max the Grand?

Old Commodus gave an order
After putting in his knife
Then MaxHeath pierced him in the chest, dear
Was that emperor rash to fight?

Lady Lucilla, Maximum Croweites
Pals of Russell, all around
Oh the line forms on the right dear
Now that Maxie's back in town.
