project

in school we are doing a project about our book and it has to equal 75 points.

my book is Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz and if you don't know the book it's about a boy Alex Rider, who is a secret agent. Alex lost almost everyone he was related to except his guardian. he's a strong boy and very stubborn one too also a very brave boy. in the book there was a fake organization Force Three that covered up the main villain's plain to destroy a space hotel and crash on Washington d.c. the main villain was a man named Nikolai Drevin who have a son paul and looks down on him. in the end Nikolai committed suicide on a plane b/c he thought he killed his son. in the end alex when outer space to the space hotel ark angel and made it blow up in a different direction than earth and up in space with him was a man part of the evil force three.

i have to find songs that relate to the book and how.
someone help me. you can just give up a song and the lyrics and who is it by.

if anyone help me thank you very much.

With enough imagination, these may help you get started There are darker songs which may be easier to fit to your theme, however, I try not to "go dark" with young people. Hope these get you started.



"Space Cowboy" by Steve Miller

I told you bout living in the u.s. of a.
Dont you know that Im a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
And Im tired of all this talk about love
And the same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on changin
So Im keepin on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door

Im a space cowboy
Bet you werent ready for that
Im a space cowboy
Im sure you know where its at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I was born on this rock
And Ive been travelin through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin cats would do if you could
You know, Im ready for the final surprise
There aint no way around it
Aint nothing to say
Thats gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin darker outside

Im a space cowboy
Bet you werent ready for that
Im a space cowboy
Im sure you know where its at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
The boys in the military shirts
I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
And I dont let my friends get hurt
All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
Cause youre the same old story
Its the same old crime
And you got some heavy dues to pay

Im a space cowboy
Bet you werent ready for that
Im a space cowboy
Im sure you know where its at
Yeah, yeah, yeah

"Space Oddity" (Major Tom) by David Bowie

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God’s love be with you

Spoken:
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift-off

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You’ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare

“This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do

Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much (she knows!)
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear....

“ am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do.?

"Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie

Do you remember a guy thats been
In such an early song
Ive heard a rumour from ground control
Oh no, dont say its true

They got a message from the action man
Im happy, hope youre happy too
Ive loved all Ive needed love
Sordid details following

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of jap girls in synthesis and i
Aint got no money and I aint got no hair
But Im hoping to kick but the planet its glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
Ill stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
Im stuck with a valuable friend
Im happy, hope youre happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said to get things done
Youd better not mess with major tom
My mother said to get things done
Youd better not mess with major tom
My mother said to get things done
Youd better not mess with major tom
My mother said to get things done
Youd better not mess with major tom

"Coming Home" (Major Tom) by Peter Schilling

Standing there alone
the ship is waiting
all systems are go
are you sure?
control is not convinced
but the computer
has the evidence
"no need to abort"
the countdown starts

watching in a trance
the crew is certain
nothing left to chance
all is working
trying to relax
up in the capsule
"send me up a drink"
jokes Major Tom
the count goes on

4 3 2 1
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
calling calling home...

second stage is cut
we're now in orbit
stabilizers up
runnning perfect
starting to collect
requested data
what will it effect
when all is done
thinks Major Tom

back at ground control
there is a problem
go to rockets full
not responding
"hello Major Tom
are you receiving
turn the thrusters on
we're standing by"
there's no reply

4 3 2 1
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
calling calling home...

across the stratosphere
a final message
"give my wife my love"
then nothing more

far beneath the ship
the world is mourning
they don't realize
he's alive
no one understands
but Major Tom sees
now the life commands
this is my home
I'm coming home

Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
coming home...
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
coming home...
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
coming coming home...
home.....

"Rocket Man" by Elton John

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And i'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much i miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And i think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think i am at home
Oh no no no i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone


Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science i don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

i love those songs!
i have never thought of them . thanks a lot.
i actually love dark songs

I'm glad you like the songs. Now you need to see if you can integrate them or parts of them into your project. School is cool!

my government teacher says that a lot. "school is cool"
also 'school is school"
