Advice to a Son:

 Never trust a white man, Never kill a Jew, Never sign a contract, Never rent a pew. Don't enlist in armies; Nor marry many wives; Never write for magazines; Never scratch your hives. Always put paper on the seat, Don't believe in wars, Keep yourself both clean and neat, Never marry whores. Never pay a blackmailer, Never go to law, Never trust a publisher, Or you'll sleep on straw. All your friends will leave you All your friends will die __ So lead a clean and wholesome life __

 Song: Somewhere Only We Know by Keane 

I walked across an empty land __ I knew the pathway like the back of my hand __  I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go? So why don't we go?

Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah

This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know?

2. Champs D'honneur:

Soldiers never do die well; __Crosses mark the places -__ __Wooden crosses where they fell,__ Stuck above their faces. Soldiers pitch and cough and twitch -All the world roars red and black; Soldiers smother in a ditch, Choking through the whole attack. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.167em;">Song: Apologize by One Republic <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial; text-align: center;">// [Verse 1] // I'm holdin' on your rope, Got me ten feet off the ground. And I'm hearin' what you say, But I just can't make a sound. You tell me that you need me, Then you go and cut me down... But wait... You tell me that you're sorry, Didn't think I'd turn around... And say...

// [Chorus] // That it's too late to apologize. It's too late... I said it's too late to apologize. It's too late. Yeah!

// [Verse 2] // I'd take another chance, Take a fall, take a shot for you. I need you like a heart needs a beat, But it's nothin' new, yeah! __I loved you with a fire red,__ Now it's turnin' blue... And you say... Sorry, like an angel Heaven let me think was you... But I'm afraid...

// [Chorus] // It's too late to apologize. It's too late. I said it's too late to apologize. It's too late. Whoa!

// [Interlude] //

// [Chorus] // It's too late to apologize. It's too late. I said it's too late to apologize. It's too late.

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah! I said it's too late to apologize, yeah! I'm holdin' on your rope, Got me ten feet off the ground.

3.Captives:

Some came in chains Unrepentant but tired. Too tired but to stumble. Thinking and hating were finished Thinking and fighting were finished Retreating and hoping were finished. Cures thus a long campaign, __Making death easy.__

Song: Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia

<span style="display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial; text-align: center;">// [Sia:] // You shout it out, But I can't hear a word you say __I'm talking loud not saying much__ I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet You shoot me down, but I get up

// [Chorus:] // I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose Fire away, fire away Ricochet, you take your aim Fire away, fire away You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium

// [Sia:] // Cut me down But it's you who'll have further to fall Ghost town and haunted love Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones I'm talking loud not saying much

// [Chorus:] // I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose Fire away, fire away Ricochet, you take your aim Fire away, fire away You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium I am titanium I am titanium

// [Sia:] // Stone-hard, machine gun Firing at the ones who run Stone-hard as bulletproof glass

// [Chorus:] // You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium I am titanium
