Miscellaneous Lyrics

I'm Gonna Change (Roxy's song - Roxy Rumbles)
hey
I'm gonna change my luck, I'm gonna change my luck somehow
I'm gonna find another connection, and take a whole new direction
I'm gonna change my luck, right now.

I'm gonna change my life (yeah) I;m gonna change my life someway
I'll leave my troubles behind me, up in the sky, you will find me
I'm gonna change my life today

I've had enough of being poor miss number two (ahh-ahh)
Time things were rearranged, a change is overdue (change, change, change!)

I'm gonna change, you'll see,
And when I change you'll be impressed
I'm gonna rewrite my story, win all the prizes and all the glory
I'm gonna change, you'll see, and be the best!


A Father Should Be - BaNee (Jem Jam #1/A Father Should Be)
A father should be a good man
A father should be wise
A father should be tall and strong
With laughter in his eyes
A father should be behind you
A father should be there
A father should be someone
Who always treats you fair
I know the kind of man, (I know the kind of man) a father ought to be
A shining knight, who fights the good fight
And wins it just for me!
A father should be a hero
A father should come through
A father should be someone,
Someone just like you (just like you!)


I Can See Me A Star - Ashley (Jem Jam #1)
I can see me standing on the stage
I can see me being all the rage
I can see me going very far
I can see me a star
I can see me itching to perform
I can see me singing up a storm
I can see me a star
I can see me aiming for the heights
I can see me with my name in lights
I can see me where the good times are
I can see me a star
I can see me itching to perform
I can see me singing up a storm
I can see me a star
I can see me itching to perform
I can see me singing up a storm
I can see me a star


You May Be A Star - Krissie (Jem Jam #2)
(ooh, a star, ooh, a star)
You may be a star (ooh, a star) but don't think you're so hot (ooh, you're not)
You may be a star (ooh, a star), but don't think you're so cool (ooh, no) cos fool, you're not!
You may be a star (ooh, a star) with lots of fancy stuff (ooh, stuff, stuff, stuff)
You may be a star, (ooh, a star) but that just ain't enough (ooh, no)
Cos girl you aren't so tough
You may be a star,  (ooh, a star) but that's not what I see (ooh, no)
You may be a star, (ooh, a star) but you're no better than me (ooh, no)
Cos what I see when I look at you
Is the emptiness shining through!


Starlight - Jacqui Benton (Out of the Past)
Starlight, is the message
That I send from beyond
Starlight, is for always, even when I'm gone
Look to starlight, to shimmer on and on
Starlight won't desert you
Starlight's always there
Starlight, is the present, I send from high above
Starlight is eternal like my love
Starlight is the message that I send
Starlight.


Alone Again - Laura Holloway (Alone Again)
Alone again, with my guitar
Alone again, underneath the lonely stars
I see some friendly faces, they smile at me and then
Just like every other time,
I'm alone again, alone again,
All alone again
Looking in the mirror I don't like what I see
I'm not the person I'd hoped I would be
Always feels like people are laughing at me
Alone again, with just my song
Alone again, which is right where I belong
What good is it to fight it?
Just accept it and Amen
It's like every other time
I'm alone again, alone again
All alone again
Alone again, alone again
All alone again
Alone again. 


Jem Theme (from first year tv series. Versions on cassettes tend to repeat the song through with a misfit section that is twice as long on repeat)

        (Outrageous)
