ROGER
Who Do You Think You Are?
Barging In On Me And My Guitar
Little Girl - Hey
The Door Is That Way
You Better Go You Know
The Fire's Out Anyway
Take Your Powder - Take Your Candle
Your Sweet Whisper
I Just Can't Handle

Well Take Your Hair In The Moonlight
Your Brown Eyes - Goodbye, Goodnight

I Should Tell You I Should Tell You
I Should Tell You I Should -- No!

Another Time - Another Place
Out Temperature Would Climb
There'd Be A Long Embrace
We'd Do Another Dance
It'd Be Another Play
Looking For Romance
Come Back Another Day
Another Day

MIMI
The Heart May Freeze Or It Can Burn
The Pain Will Ease If I Can Learn

There Is No Future
There Is No Past
I Live This Moment
As My Last

There's Only Us
There's Only This
Forget Regret
Or Life Is Yours To Miss
No Other Road
No Other Way
No Day But Today

ROGER
Excuse Me If I'm Off Track
But If You're So Wise
Then Tell Me - Why Do You Need
Smack?

Take Your Needle
Take Your Fancy Prayer
And Don't Forget
Get The Moonlight Out Of Your Hair

Long Ago - You Might've Lit Up My Heart
But The Fire's Dead - Ain't Never Ever
Gonna Start

Another Time - Another Place
The Words Would Only Rhyme
We'd Be In Outer Space
It'd be Another Song
We'd Sing Another Way
You Wanna Prove Me Wrong?
Come Back Another Day
Another Day

MIMI
There's Only Yes
Only Tonight
We Must Let Go
To Know What's Right
No Other Course
No Other Way
No Day But Today

MIMI & OTHERS
I Can't Control
My Destiny
I Trust My Soul

My Only Goal
Is Just - To Be

There's Only Now

There's Only Here
Give In To Love

Or Live In Fear
No Other Path
No Other Way

No Day But Today

ALL
No Day But Today
Powder


No Day But Today




No Day But Today




No Day But Today



No Day But Today
ROGER
Control Your
Temper
She Doesn't See
Who Say's That
There's A Soul
Just Let Me Be

Who Do You Think
You Are?

Barging In On Me
And My
Guitar
Little Girl, Hey
The Door Is
That Way
The Fire's Out
Anyway

Take Your

Take Your Candle

Take Your Brown
Eyes
Your Pretty Smile
Your Silhouette

Another Time,
Another Place
Another Rhyme,
A Warm Embrace

Another Dance,
Another Way
Another Chance,
Another Day

    i LOVE this song, its lyrics are excellent in terms of telling the story, its so sweet and subtle. of course if you dont know the plot, the lyrics of this song probably wont make sense to you. but its like this: roger and mimi love each other but then roger is afraid to love because his old gf died. and throught the whole song he's just like "go away! i hate you! stop making me love you!" and mimis just like "dude, you gotta learn to love again." except more subtle...aww its so sweet! i love the line that roger says: "get the moonlight out of your hair!" lol. and its so sad because in the end, mimi and about 5 other people are all gently trying to tell roger to love again, and rogers screaming his head off and he's so hurt and he's just like, "get hte hell out of here, no im not goign to love. go away i hate you!!" his reactiosn so explosive and sad. its a great song. it almost made me cry. poor roger

    i am in love with rent and this song. this song to me shows and sets up roger's incapabiltiy to truely attatch with mimi and such until the end (your eyes). this song also shows the level of persistance mimi would go to to try and help and be with roger.

    the others are the members of life support in the obc, and mark, angel, and collins in the movie. and all of both of them in the nytw. (all amazing.)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
