Round 8

Song 1

Refrain from altering yourself in order to gain my approval:
You have always been very dependable up to nowm
And dream not of becoming commonplace to the extent that I wish no longer to lay eyes upon you.
Arriving where we are would have been impossible had I departed from you when things got rough;
For better, for worse, I accept you for what you are.

Answer: "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel

Song 2

At the beginning terror took hold of me, i was figuratively turned to stone as I wondered how I would go on alone.
However, after I had passed many nights considering your crimes my resolved strengthened and I discovered the power to exist without you.
And you have returned from beyond the stars;
I merely entered to encounter you here with an expression of remorse on your countenance.
Why did I not take appropriate security measures?
Why did I not demand back your method of ingress?
I would have done, had I been aware for even one moment you would return and be a nuisance to me.

Answer: "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor

Song 3

The highway is deserted, as is the strand;
It's palpable; autumn is on the way.
A lake that is vacant, as are the streets:
Sunset is unattended.
Passing your residence in my car despite the fact that I am aware you are not there.

Answer: "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley

Song 4

Considering all that has passed between us you should be better attuned to my feelings, as I am to yours.
I am aware that good and evil are not at all the same thing.
But I have no intention of being a homewrecker.
Settle down if I walk in after my usual time,
For conflict between us makes us look like immature people of a younger age than we are.

Answer: "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes

Song 5

It's probably come as something of a surprise to you that I'm aware of your intentions to leave me
For another man of your past acquaintance, but you know I have more affection for you than he has;
I confess I was shocked myself when just recently the news was made known to me.

Answer: "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye

Song 6

Ah, existence exceeds your size and we are not the same.
How far I will take things, the measurement of space in your gaze.
Oh dear, I have spoken more than I had expected to:
I have arranged it.

Answer: "Losing My Religion" by REM
