## M’Elf 2: Love Is a Stranger by Eurythmics - vocals by the incomparable Annie Lennox I’ll contribute a few. TE\_1: I guess everything is timing, I guess everything’s been said, so I am coming home with an empty head. TE\_2: You are digging for the answers until your fingers bleed; To satisfy the hunger, to satiate the need. TE\_3: They caught the Kady and left me a mule to ride; The fortune lady came along, she walked beside. ---

I found someone new, she’s waiting in the car outside…” **SKEE04** : I saw myself today, through these grey and dirty streets. Did you have to leave this town, or did you just have to leave me? ---
