1. Song: Ordinary Love by U2 (video: https://youtu.be/XC3ahd6Di3M)

And we can't reach any higher, 
If we can't deal with ordinary love 
 
2. Song: Hung Up by Madonna (video: https://youtu.be/EDwb9jOVRtU) 
I can't keep on waiting for you 
I know that you're still hesitating 
Don't cry for me 
'cause I'll find my way 
you'll wake up one day 
but it'll be too late" 
 
3. Song: When I was your man by Bruno Mars 
(vídeo: https://youtu.be/ekzHIouo8Q4) 
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo 
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize 
That I should have bought you flowers 
And held your hand 
Should have gave you all my hours 
When I had the chance 
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance 
 
4. Song: The show must go one by Queen 
(vídeo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t99KH0TR-J4) 
Empty spaces - what are we living for 
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score 
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for... 
Another hero, another mindless crime

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime 
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore 
The show must go on 
The show must go on, yeah 
Inside my heart is breaking 
My make - up may be flaking 
But my smile still stays on
