Morality would frown upon Decency look down upon The scapegoat fate's made of me But I promise you, my judge and jurors My intentions couldn't have been purer My case is easy to see

(Show me, don't tell me) You've figured out the score (Show me, don't tell me) I've heard it all before (Show me, don't tell me) I don't care what you say (Show me, don't tell me)
You can twist perceptions Reality won't budge You can raise objections I will be the judge And the jury

The evidence before the court is incontravertible. There's no need for the jury to retire. In all my years of judging I have never heard before, Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of the law.

Paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa, Ride a Harley through the heart of danger, Pick up a pen and fight a war for the right to dream, I was seventeen.
This reminds me of that scene in Batman where they throw paint all over the paintings and this song is playing in the background:
"Gentlemen, let's broaden our minds! Lawrence..."
(oh, yeah)
All hail - the new king in town Young and old, gather 'round (yeah) Black and white, red and green (funky) The funkiest man U've ever seen
Tell U what his name is Partyman, partyman Rock a party like nobody can Rules and regulations - no place in his nation Partyman, partyman

I'm on the outside I'm looking in I can see through you See your true colors 'Cause inside you're ugly You're ugly like me I can see through you See to the real you

Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction holding me fast, how Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

There are times When you find Lobsters in a bucket Can’t climb out Why won’t they climb away? Because other lobsters Pull them down
Cherry pits and paper clips And people talking smack Giant squid will come right up And pull your train right off the track. Mammoth broom swoops on down And sweeps you in a whole
Friends help each other Any way they can When you’re up at bat They’ll be your biggest fan When you’re in a pit They’ll pull you out of it It ain’t wrong to write a song For all your friends to sing along.
People too me and you Can also be like lobsters in bucket It’s all just one big mess Please don’t be a lobster Friends are best
Making lunch for the baseball bunch While playing violin Feeding bands to giant clams That’s where the fun begins Cantaloupes and cowboy ropes Hone those whittleing skills
Friends help each other Any way they can When you’re up at bat They’ll be your biggest fan When you’re in a pit They’ll pull you out of it It ain’t wrong to write a song For all your friends to sing along

Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer. It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague Haunting mass appeal Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel

Take me now baby here as I am Hold me close and try to understand Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe Love is a banquet on which we feast
C'mon now try and understand The way I feel under your command Take my hand as it's under sand They can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now Can't hurt you noooooooooooooow

People dancing all in the street See the rhythm all in their feet Life is good wild and sweet Let the music play on (Play on, play on) Feel it in your heart And feel it in your soul Let the music take control We're going to party Liming, fiesta, forever Come on and sing my song! All night long! (all night)...
All Night Long, Lionel Richie
PS Elizabeth, I am just listing the artist who did the song, I transcribed the lyrics from what I heard on the album. I have no idea who wrote the song first, or if you're talking about a different "because the night", all I know is 10,000 Maniacs does the version I listed.

I have only heard the 10,000 Maniacs version. I wasn't aware there was another one, I'll have to check that out. Is it as good as the remake (which is now stuck in my head again, thank you very much)?

Here today gone today Hurry up and wait I'm never there for you or me Can't you read the story of our lives Death to me and life for you Something isn't right And I need some space to Clear my head to think about My life
And I can't be alone
I just need some space To clear my head to think about my life With or without you
We fight it out We work it out Give me some time to unwind
I must confess I'm falling apart Breaking your heart Crying with you on the phone We're walking on thin ice I hope it doesn't break
Mile by mile we're farther apart And it's one empty bottle And two broken hearts Night after night we are falling apart Now it's two broken bottles And four empty hearts

If you should go skating, On the thin ice of modern life, Dragging behind you the silent reproach, Of a million tear-stained eyes, Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice, Appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind, With your fear flowing out from behind, You as you claw the ice.

You never take advice Someday you'll pay the price I know
I've seen it before It happens all the time You're closing the door You leave the world behind You're digging for gold Yet throwing away A fortune in feelings But someday you'll pay
You're as cold as ice You're willing to sacrifice our love You want Paradise But someday you'll pay the price I know
I've seen it before It happens all the time You're closing the door You leave the world behind You're digging for gold Yet throwing away A fortune in feelings But someday you'll pay
Cold as ice, you know that you are Cold, cold, as, as, ice, as cold as ice to me Cold, cold, as, as, ice
Ooh, ooh, ooh, cold as, cold as ice You're as cold as ice You're as cold as ice, cold as ice, I know You're as cold as ice, yes I know You're as cold as ice, cold as ice, I know You're as cold as ice, oh yes I know You're as cold as ice, cold as ice, I know You're as cold as ice, oh yes I know You're as cold as ice, cold as ice

Meanwhile back in the year One, when you belonged to no-one, you didn't stand a chance son, if your pants were undone. `Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society one day you'll wake up in the Present Day a million generations removed from expectations of being who you really want to be. Skating away, skating away, skating away on the thin ice of the New Day
Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day, Jethro Tull
Edit: because Damien posts faster than me so I had to use the lame "you'll" instead of "thin ice".
