As a child, I changed my name whenever I was upset

Clementine
by Sarah Jaffe

50 states, 50 lines, 50 crying all the times.
50 boys, 50 lies, 50 I'm gonna change my minds.
So I changed my mind, I changed my mind.
Now I'm feeling different.
We were young, we were young,
we were young we didn't care.

Is it gone? Is it gone? Is it floating in the air?
Changed my mind, I changed my mind,
now I'm feeling different.

All that time, wasted.
I wish I was a little more delicate.
I wish my, I wish my, I wish my, I wish my,
I wish my name was Clementine.

Over lyrics and wine

Never Before, Never Again
Performed by Miss Piggy in The Muppet Movie

Never before have two souls joined
so freely, and so fast.
For me this is the first time,
and the last.
Is this an angel's wish for men?
Never before and never again.

And where to find the words to sing it's worth
This love was bound for heaven, not for earth
This love was meant to light the stars,
But when we touched, we made it ours.

And would they take it back?
Oh, no, they wouldn't dare!
Why should they take it back,
When there's enough to share with all the world,
And fill the heavens above
With left-over love?

Never before, a love that just keeps growing on and on,
To fill each lover's heart and light the dawn.
Is this an angel's wish for men?
Never before and never again.
Never before and never again.

Another Life

Far away far away, I want to go far away.
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another island, in another life.*
