01 Andorra - Apology

I made you cried,
on the night of our wedding.
Disease I may,
not know I was spreading.
Although who knows,
where will be heading.
It just seems...
so fading.

You look at me,
then you turn away.
You make it seems,
like I was just gay.
Is it because,
I don't want to play?
This is not...
how I imagine our days.

Sorry for everything i've done.
The fact that I have always ruined our fun.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry... babyyy
Sorry for everything i've done.
The broken relationship that has begun.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry... babyyy
This is an apology... an apology..

I love how you,
snore in your sleep.
Reminded me,
of how you take it deep.
It was our,
little secret that we'd like to keep.
Oh, sorry. baby.

I hope you give,
me another chance.
Maybe we can,
restart our romance.
I can also,
get my dick enhance.
Please baby...
give me a glance.

Sorry for everything i've done.
The fact that I have always ruined our fun.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry... babyyy
Sorry for everything i've done.
I wish you could have given me a son!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry... babyyy
This is an apology... an apology..

wow ... that was funny ... I hope it was suppose to be funny!

02 Germany - Yellow Banana

Aii,
aii,
everyone loves a banana
Aiii,
ba-na-na ba-na-na
aii,
a yell-ow nir-va-na
aii,
ba-na-na ba-na-na
aii,
a yell-ow nir-va-na

It tastes
so worth it
my one desire
is to digest a yellow banana

It's yummy
it's one and only
it's yellow banana
tell me how you live without a banana what would life be about

We'll never know
how we ever lived without bananas
we can't let go
if we would we'd start to cry

Aii
You can have an apple
aii
I'll keep the yellow
aii
Only I get the banana
aii
You can't have banana

Ohh
You get pomegranite
Ohh
They're not worth my time
Ohh
I can live without them
they're no yellow banana

I was looking all around
but when I looked at you
I saw you had new shoes
I didn't know about it then
till under your feet I found a peel
I was mad at you
and you said "Nana..
I got banana"
You stole yellow banana
how dare you say he tasted good
I'll never know
the taste of banana
have to get one
my friendship with you is gone

Aii
You can have an apple
aii
I'll keep the yellow
aii
Only I get the banana
aii
You can't have banana

Ohh
You get pomegranite
Ohh
They're not worth my time
Ohh
I can live without them
they're no yellow banana

Tell me how to get another
when that was my last
and I wish I could find one
I want one so much it pains

Aiii,
ba-na-na ba-na-na
aii,
a yell-ow nir-va-na
aii,
ba-na-na ba-na-na
aii,
a yell-ow nir-va-na


Aii
You can have an apple
aii
I'll keep the yellow
aii
Only I get the banana
aii
You can't have banana

Ohh
You get pomegranite
Ohh
They're not worth my time
Ohh
I can live without them
they're no YELLOW BANANA

*note from Head of Songs: As requested by Germany, song is to be sung to the beat from "Beautiful Liar"

03 Latvia - Hypothetical

If only I was not born with these traits
Then I could consider myself better
If only I was not born into these family
Then everything could be easier

I don't need no hypothetical situation
because I've lived through my decisions
and I already know what could happen
if you were to feel one way about me

If I had not met some people, would I be happy?
Then again, some of us have drifted away...
If there wasn't love, would I know what I fancy?
Then again, you always were on my mind...

I don't need no hypothetical situation
because I've lived through the moments
and I already know what could happen
if someone else felt the way you did

What about those school shootings?
Would I be as grateful if I had no clue?
No...
No!

I don't need no hypothetical situation
because I've lived through the spoken
and I already know what could happen
if life was not anything like this

What if...

04 Bosnia & Herzegovina - Spiritual

A painting lacking an image
That's sparked different views
A conversation with no talk
That's made everyone wish
They could learn something from you

This is something
That transcends the physical
To another state
To another plane
Something more than typical
Something spiritual

You've given meaning to a day
With no sun in the sky
Clipped the wings of a bird
Just to watch it fly
Made me realize
Things happen for a reason
No need to ask why

You've given me something
That transcends the physical
To another state
To another plane
Something more than typical
Something spiritual

This is something deeper
Than I've ever felt before
This spiritual love
That's knocking on my door
Allowed me to restore
My faith and hopes
In something more
It's given me
What i've been looking for

You've given me something
That transcends the physical
To another state
To another plane
Something more than typical
Something spiritual

05 Moldova - Evident Red

Red
The color of love to some
But red
Represents the death you've become...

So here's a story from our past
You tried hurting without regret
Destroying the path laid ahead
Does it sound familiar yet?

From hearing to thinking
What was I perceiving?
It wasn't clear at first,
Well I know the truth now

But make sure you're the priority
We'd hate to see you get hurt
So sincere, the instilling fear
And a contradicting lie
It's not just this day
With the pretension you can't hide
Duplicity fueled, we won't be fooled
Because the red is evident in you

Just burn your way through
Use me for all I'm worth
What I couldn't see then
Has only happened countless times

From thinking to seeing
What was I perceiving?
It wasn't clear at first,
Well I know the truth now

But make sure you're the priority
We'd hate to see you get hurt
So sincere, the instilling fear
And a contradicting lie
It's not just this day
With the pretension you can't hide
Duplicity fueled, we won't be fooled
Because the red is evident in you

Those bitter days won't be seen again
No longer worth the time
You're just a wasteful memory
Because the red was evident in you

07 Serbia - Girly

Girly, do you remember all the stupid things we did when we were kids,
growin up together, always having fun, you were number one to me
Girly, do you remember all that funny stuff we pulled runnin 'round the school,
we went from playing with toys to chasin all the boys, you was the life of my party

Now, i'm not sure whats happening (no,no,no),
but things aint the same
You used to be my right wing,
and now i hardly call your name

It's like you dont know me,
and i dont know you
But you were my girly....
for so, so long, and now youre gone
at least from my life,
and it all seemed to happen in one night

Girly, do you remember all the times that we would fight,
then we'd make it right, call and apologize, even if it was lies, because i couldnt live without you
Girly, do you remember all the jokes that we would play, crazy things we'd say,
i'd always make you laugh, always good for a chat, and you were always there for me too

Now, i'm not sure what's happening (oh, no, no),
but things aint the same
You used to be my right wing,
and now i hardly call your name

It's like you dont know me,
and i dont know you
But you were my girly....
for so, so, so long, and now youre gone,
at least from my life,
and it all seemed to happen in one night

You know even though we've grown apart,
you'll always have a place in my heart
I'll forever think of you, and i hope you'll remember me
Because you'll always be my girly

08 Norway - Cannot Promise
so what the hell am I suppose to do with my broken heart?

I know that one day I told you
that I will never fail you but today
I don't know where I am and I don't know where I go
and more than healing me, these drugs
only make me feel worst
And it doesn't surprise you that tomorrow could be a little bit worse
I will be cold but honest everytime I tell you that

I cannot promise you "forever"
I don't even know if I can tell you "today"
Forget everything I am going to tell you this night

I will dream with you, If I can sleep
The nights are so long since that day
the day that I met you...

Either I was born in love or truthly I have never been in love
And it's not that I don't believe in love, it's just because I'm like that
If saying "tomorrow" it's to predict and saying "perfect" is to lie
It's better feeling those lips, these hands
that never stop though I'm so weak for trying and failing so much
the scars in my arms say

I cannot promise you "forever"
I don't even know if I can tell you one "today"
Forget everything I am going to tell you this night

I will dream with you, If I can sleep
The nights are so long since that day
that day that I met you
My guardian angel waits in your bed
I sent him to look for you, to keep you away
from me forever

And I do not regret anything that I did yesterday
I regret about the things that I could have done, that I could have said
And I won't be able to do it again...

Everything I will say this night... this night... forget it

Yellow banana is gangstah o_o

09 Denmark - Priceless

<<lalalalala, la, la, la>> <<lalalalala, la, la, la>

We see this world and make our predictions
Our future holds many things,

But all we can see all under this crossing
Is pain, crisis, & Surfacing

We love to make this life last long, but what happens when it's gone
What happens when we realize that, our answers all our wrong
Now we know what's going on

We’re checking out, we're checking out to see this time move on
We’re checking out, we're checking out to see this ice melt down our fall
Our love takes over, our body moves over and all we see is this
It’s life, it's life, we need to make over that nothing is priceless
It’s life, it's life, we need to make over that nothing is priceless.... (That nothing is priceless)

Priceless, priceless....
We need to make over that nothing is priceless,
Priceless, priceless....
We need to make over that nothing is priceless

Now our lives are building up
In everything like gold

Our life is worthless, we love to make up
That this soul is all but rich & sold

But what happens when you realize, this shoulder will fall down
Our walls will crumble, there's nothing look under, we see our life in sand
And no protection in this land....

We’re checking out, we're checking out to see this time move on
We’re checking out, we're checking out to see this ice melt down our fall
Our love takes over, our body moves over and all we see is this
It’s life, it's life, we need to make over that nothing is priceless
It’s life, it's life, we need to make over that nothing is priceless.... (That nothing is priceless)

Priceless, priceless....
We need to make over that nothing is priceless,
Priceless, priceless....
We need to make over that nothing is priceless

Now we know that nothing's right,
All we can see is this useless sky

Love and hugs and many lies,
and nothing, looking forward because we cry

It’s true we're in this forever, till time climbs and bends and we all reach our level
& we realize we're in this together.... (We realize we’re in this together)

We’re checking out, we're checking out to see this time move on
We’re checking out, we're checking out to see this ice melt down our fall
Our love takes over, our body moves over and all we see is this
It’s life, it's life, we need to make over that nothing is priceless
It’s life, it's life, we need to make over that nothing is priceless…. (That nothing is priceless)

Priceless, priceless....
We need to make over that nothing is priceless,
Priceless, priceless....
We need to make over that nothing is priceless

THAT NOTHING IS PRICELESSS...ESSSS...ESSSSSS!

11 Bulgaria - Waiting

What will i get from this day
It ain't different yesterday
I try to pretend to be happy
Deep inside I'm empty

Will you be right by my side?
While I walk this road
Will you help me get through this?
While I'm cleaning the mess

I'm Waiting
For One Thing
That will make me happy

I'm bored
And I'm wasted
You make me feel so weary

I Need you to be here
My life is seem so empty
I'm waiting.......

Another day just passed
Another question I can't understand
Staring Blanky at sky
And I'm wondering why
Another daydream has been made

I'm Waiting
For One Thing
That will make me happy

I'm bored
And I'm wasted
You make me feel so weary

I Need you to be here
My life is seem so empty
I'm waiting.......

12 France - Bang

Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!

Silence is golden
Until they are embolded
For when they throw their weight around
We have to stand our ground
And just ignore those calls for silence

Why not have a silly war
It's only over one thing
Why not press a button now
It's only over one thing

No hope now
Without faith in trust
We want to give peace a chance
No mercy
Without victory
So go ahead and send them a BANG! BANG! BANG!

Bang, bang, bang!

Slap around the truth
Hold the villains responsible
Skate around the facts
The villain changes constantly
Never keep it straight
For that would be too easy
Make sure the noise streches out that far

Why not have a silly war
It's only over one thing
Why not press a button now
It's only over one thing

No hope now
Without faith in trust
We want to give peace a chance
No mercy
Without victory
So go ahead and send them a BANG! BANG! BANG!

Bang, bang, bang!

wooo. bang bang bang!

13 Hungary - Mysterious & Confusing

Mysterious...
Confusing…
So hard to understand

Why are you so hard to figure out,
With all your twists and turns
Why must you be so complicated,
With answers so hard to find?

Mysterious…
Confusing…
So hard to understand

You show off so many different colors,
And all your sides are so different.
No matter how I try to figure you out
You just become more difficult to decipher.

Just so difficult…
Mysterious, confusing…
Confusing, mysterious…

Why can’t I figure you out?
Why are you so difficult?

So close to solving you
So close to figuring you out
Just one more turn,
One more color,
And Rubik’s Cube
I’ve figure you out!

14 United Kingdom - One Soul

And then there was one
One soul remaining
One soul that had not been tarnished
By the cretins of our society
It is as pure as one's soul can be
And it is my hope that this soul can carry on
Live a normal life
And not face the evils that lurk in the world

It is a lifetime of poverty and sadness
For everyone whose soul has been tarnished
It is a lifetime of fear and sorrow
For all of those who stood up and fought
You are the only one
Who still doesn't know what it's like
To fall into the ranks
Of those who no longer live

Can you hear me, oh pure one
You have to leave right now
There is nothing here for you that can help you
Only what can kill you
I know from experience
The horrors of those who fight the powers that be
So take it from me, purest of the pure
Don't do anything you might soon regret

It is a lifetime of poverty and sadness
For everyone whose soul has been tarnished
It is a lifetime of fear and sorrow
For all of those who stood up and fought
Now, you are the only one
Who still doesn't know what it's like
To fall into the ranks
Of those who no longer live

You now realize the consequences of fighting
My only hope is that you'll listen to reason
Hell on earth is here for those
Who have failed to bring them down
You are not as strong as those
Who came before you
So heed this words and run away
While you still have the chance

It is a lifetime of poverty and sadness
For everyone whose soul has been tarnished
It is a lifetime of fear and sorrow
For all of those who couldn't take it anymore
Now, you are the only one
Who still doesn't know what it's like
To fall into the ranks
Of those who no longer live

Please, i'm begging you
Don't fight for your right
If for nothing else
For the sake of humankind
You can lead us into a new age
But you must resist
Don't let your hate and anger destroy your soul

It will be a lifetime of poverty and sadness
For you, if you don't let it go
It will be a lifetime of fear and sorrow
If you don't resist the temptation
You are the only one who can bring hope
To all of those who failed before you
But please, pure one, don't try to be a hero today
Just back away

15 Ukraine - You Left Me

I arrived with Starbucks at noon ,
excited to see you,
my love was revolved around you,
the world has once again become true,
yet unaware what was about to be done…

Saying we need talk,
you sat me on the couch,
suddenly going off when a few minutes ago we were on.
That’s when the kryptonite was spawned out of the blue,
and before I knew:

You left me to myself,
you left me when I needed help.
You left me in the rain,
you left me when I needed relief from the pain.
You left me during our time in the park,
you left me when you made my world turn dark.
You left me in the theater line,
you left me when my joys were resigned.
You left me at the party,
you left me when you were getting hearty…with other guys…and their lies.

Going out your door,
My heart smashed across the floor,
I turned around to you,
unsure what to do.
You just stood there,
as you lost your care,
for the tears,
which should only be found on our underwear,
that you caused…
Why didn’t you pause,
before you started to flaw,
and cheat away?

You left me to myself,
you left me when I needed help.
You left me in the rain,
you left me when I needed relief from the pain.
You left me during our time in the park,
you left me when you made my world turn dark.
You left me in the theater line,
you left me when my joys were resigned.
You left me at the party,
you left me when you were getting hearty…with other guys…and their lies.

Girl I wish you the best,
people are going to see you as a mess,
you’re the one who undid the glue,
it’s too late for a redo,
because we’re through,
you were never true.

You left me to myself,
you left me when I needed help.
You left me in the rain,
you left me when I needed relief from the pain.
You left me during our time in the park,
you left me when you made my world turn dark.
You left me in the theater line,
you left me when my joys were resigned.
You left me at the party,
you left me when you were getting hearty…with other guys…and their lies.

But guess what now?
I’m out of your town.
Yeah I can now get around,
wipe off the superficial frown,
Life after you is quite renowned.

You left me to myself,
you left me when I needed help,
but I was able to make through the hell.
You left me in the rain,
you left me when I needed relief from the pain,
but at least my life is a better kind of sane.
You left me during our time in the park,
you left me when you made my world turn dark,
but unlike you, I’m able to make some true sparks.
You left me in the theater line,
you left me when my joys were resigned,
but my life now is truly divine.
You left me at the party,
You left me when you were getting hearty with other guys… and their lies,
but after all that I’m still able to fly…through the summer sky.

And with that Girl,
here’s where I say,
see you later,
and goodbye,
...you let us die,
...but I’m the one who’s going to be all right

…I left with Starbucks half past one,
my real life has begun….

16 Montenegro - What You Make Of The World

Awake at night and turning from
the loneliness that haunts you
Visions of a lover in
the darkness you've succumbed to
Years pass by while staring time
sternly into the ground
You're terrified to look
but desperate to be found

Could this be the life you had always imagined
Why is your window to the future so damaged
If the sun never rises, would you even see
If someone loved you, would you even believe
Fate may feel final, you can never be sure
It all depends on what you make of the world

Every day you feel a little too old
for all the things you want for you
Those images of happiness
fade slowly out of view
But you swallow the tears, you lie about it
Feign glorious apathy
Think those who dwell on the impossible
are slaves to their beliefs
But in the back of your mind
is a little voice, begging for a chance
to see if life would be better
in another person's hands

Could this be the life you had always imagined
Why is your window to the future so damaged
If the sun never rises, would you even see
If someone loved you, would you even believe
Fate may feel final, you can never be sure
It all depends on what you make of the world
It all depends on what you make of the world

Cause if you make it into clay
Then it will all be washed away
And if you make it into stone
You will always be alone
Oh you will always be alone

This isn't the life you have always imagined
Break down that window and step into the madness
Fate may feel final, you can never be sure
It all depends on what you make of the world
It all depends on what you make of the world

18 Poland - Classic Rock Radio DJ

Won't you hit up my request line baby please
Cuz I'm a classic rock radio dj
Hear me in the morning on your way to work
Spinning my records for punks gone old and grey
This has been my mundane life for way too long
Tried getting a job in business marketing
Haven't got a call back from anybody
Chances at a normal job are darkening
Cleaned up and slicked back my balding combover
But they don't take too kindly when you've got tatts
My ode to White Snake is painted on my neck
And there's Styx is written across my arm fats

I just want to be like a free bird
Flying where my long wings will take me
If I could ride down Holiday Road
I'd ride it all night long and be free

I just want to be like a free bird
Flying where my long wings will take me
If I could ride down Holiday Road
I'd ride it all night long and be free

Been to this bar ever since I was seventeen
Sneaking drinks to me and my underaged pals
Nowadays I sit alone and sulk 'bout life
I don't have anything to offer the gals
Haven't been with a chick since 1990
I think that was when Poison last had a hit
Back when I could pay the rent and insurence
Before my credit card limit went to ****
Once knew a girl who went by the name Sheena
My only piece of cherry pie just for me
Until she found out that the grass is greener
Dating a **** who looks like Eugene Levy

I just want to be like a free bird
Flying where my long wings will take me
If I could ride down Holiday Road
I'd ride it all night long and be free

I just want to be like a free bird
Flying where my long wings will take me
If I could ride down Holiday Road
I'd ride it all night long and be free

Where is my life going, I do not even know
I don't believe in a God I can't see
Only things that have any control over me
Is a King Cobra 40 and Hennessy

I just want to be like a free bird
Flying where my long wings will take me
If I could ride down Holiday Road
I'd ride it all night long and be free

I just want to be like a free bird
Flying where my long wings will take me
If I could ride down Holiday Road
I'd ride it all night long and be free

I just want to be like a free bird
Flying where my long wings will take me
If I could ride down Holiday Road
I'd ride it all night long and be free

I just want to be like a free bird
Flying where my long wings will take me
If I could ride down Holiday Road
I'd ride it all night long and be free
