The Degrassi Junior High
Theme Song
(Manne/
Watson)
Wake up in the morning, feeling shy and lonely,
gee, I gotta go to school.
I don't think I can make it, don't think I can take it,
I wonder what I'm gonna do.
But when I look around and see,
that someone is smiling right at me,
wait, someone’s talkin' to me, hey, I gotta new friend.
Everybody can succeed, all you need is to believe,
be honest with yourself, forget your fears and doubts,
come on give us a try at Degrassi Junior High.
The Degrassi High Theme Song
(Manne/ Watson)
Wake up in the
morning, gotta shake this feeling,
I gotta face a day of school.
What's to be afraid of ? I can ask a question, or maybe even bend a rule.
I'm looking for a way so I can fit in, if there's a way if I can look, then I
can win.
I can see I'm not alone, I can face the unknown.
Everybody can succeed, in themselves, you must believe,
come on, give us a try at Degrassi High.
The Degrassi Talks Theme Song
(White/Mistysyn)
We've all got our problems
but can't always solve them
we need someone to listen
cause we all need some talkin'
no time to ignore
but we've got to explore
we can't have it all the way
let's do this together
I'll talk to you
and you'll talk to me
We've got to reach out to set us free
Degrassi Talks
Coast to coast we hear real stories from real people
Degrassi Talks
Degrassi Listens
You're not alone
Let's do this together

All The Lovers in the
World
(Lawrence Gowan)
With urgent hands
We excited
A fire so hot
Two lives were
ignited
Now I’m left here on
my own
But I’ll never be
alone
CHORUS
Down forbidden
streets I talk with
Every single step I
walk with
All the lovers in the
world (All the lovers in the world)
Though the lonely
night’s returning
I can feel the flame that’s burning
All the lovers in the
world (All the lovers in the world)
Virgin lips
I have tasted
Love so pure
Not a drop was wasted
Paradise we shared
together
Lives inside of me
forever
CHORUS
Since you touched me
I can’t be free
This is every lover’s
destiny
CHORUS 2X
Everybody Wants
Something
(Jeremiah/Wheeler/Simpson)
Everybody get ready
and get into gear,
the Degrassi sensation,
the one and only,
Zit Remedy is here.* (The Zits are here)
Everybody wants something, they'll never give up.
Everybody wants something, they'll take your money and never give up.
Everybody face up to the facts as they are,
Dedication is hard but, you'll be somebody and you will go far.
Everybody wants something, they'll never give up.
Everybody wants something, they'll take your money and never give up.
*Lyrics changed for Degrassi High version
We Can’t Look Back
(Sky/Shwartz)
Sometimes at night I
get so scared
Cause I know tomorrow
we might not be together.
I want to hold on to
today
I wish that we could
stay this way forever
I know we'll never
feel so close again for each beginning
Something must end
We can't look back
No we can't look back
But when today is
Way back when
I'll still be your
friend
So many things we
haven't done
Time is not on our
side any more
And all the promises
we made
You taught me what
dreaming is for
And though I know
that this isn't goodbye
can't say a tear
won't fall from my eye
We can't look back
No we can't look back
And when today is way
back when
I may be different
then
But I'll still be your friend
I never thought the
day would come
We'd go our separate
ways
But there's a part of
you in me
And right here’s
where it's gonna stay
We can't look back
No we can't look back
But when today is way
back when
Look me up again
I may have gray hair
then
But I’ll still be
your friend
I’m In Love With a
Girl Named Spike
(Park/Knackstedt/Miller/Nylander/Lundquist/Phelps)
There is a girl named Spike from Degrassi High
she had a baby when she was real young
Her best friend is a skinhead chick
she knows an Asian boy named Yick
and Caitlin she is very chic
but I'm still in love with a girl named Spike
I don't write love songs
in fact they make me very sick
but Spike the girl from Degrassi High
she's truly one cool chick
She has the best TV show
better than Beverly Hills 90210
and Shannon Doherty well she's ok
but I'm still in love with a girl named Spike
Cosmetics
(Lawrence Gowan)
Flew in from London
Only to shop 7th
Avenue
They’ve got what she
wants
You just can’t get it
over there
She’s so attractive
And she’ll do
anything to stay that way
Money’s no object to
make a boy stop and stare.
CHORUS
High fashion model
magazines
Runways of ageless
beauty queens
Everything for the
girl next door
Manhattan styles,
Parisian look
Lipstick and
cheekbones by the book
She’ll never leave
you wanting more.
She’s so cosmo
Her eyes can talk to
a camera
No imperfection
Protecting every
man’s dream
She’ll hypnotize you
Right from her hair
to her fingernails
In shadows and
highlights
She’ll make you bust
at the seams
CHORUS
Inside my Piano
(Marc Jordan)
As tears go by
I hope your love runs
free
my hungry heart beats
for eternity
Because I never had a
chance
to say goodbye to you
and hold you inside
of my arms just one last time
I can't feel hear you
tonight
Here inside my piano
I can't touch here
tonight
The twist of the
knife has not forgotten you
And the pain I feel
comes and cuts right through
And I cried a little
bit
When I wrote this
song
Here with the keys
and the cards and the memories
I can't feel hear you
tonight
Here inside my piano
I can't touch here
tonight
Oh
As tears go bye
I hope your love runs
free
My hungry heart beats
for eternity
Years are like
generations
Lost upon the wind
Blowing like ashes to
ashes away my friend
I can't feel hear you
tonight
Here inside my piano
I can't touch here
tonight
I can't see here
tonight
Here inside my piano
I can't touch you
here tonight
Oh
Moonlight Desires
(Lawrence Gowan)
You’ve got ways
To take hold of my
thoughts
Overriding my senses
Lock your sights
Dead in line with my
heart
Share your powers
You stir my soul
And meet my hunger
And weave the spell
That pulls me under
These moonlight
desires
Haunt me
They want me, they
want me
These moonlight
desires
Haunt me
You’re sending,
you’re sending
Secret fires
Burn inside me
unknown
Never mentioned
Only you
Can uncover the
flames
Break their silence
And make them dance
For us to see them
And break their
chains
And give them freedom
These moonlight
desires
Haunt me
They want me, they
want me
These moonlight
desires
Haunt me
You’re sending,
you’re sending
A wave over my mind
(over my mind)
And I fall to it
blind
You say
Trust Me
You stir my soul
And meet my hunger
And weave that spell
That pulls me under
These moonlight
desires
Haunt me
They want me, they
want me
These moonlight
desires
Haunt me
You’re sending,
you’re sending
A wave
Christine
(White)
Oh Christine
Your hand in mine
It’s so divine
Christine
I’m just a poor boy
I’m just a lonely boy
What would you do
Oh Christine
I love you.
All Over Again
(Hess)
Well, it was something that took me by surprise
Just when I tried to re-arrange my life
Well then I find out the things that I didn't really want to know
(No, it's not easy, you know it ain't easy)
Trying to get ahead in the world
All of a sudden it came over me and now I finally know
Even the hard times are good times
But I'd do it all over again
Even when I can't see what I've left behind me
I'd do it all over, do it all over again
Noticing now, there's some new things in my life
I try to turn them around, but it's too late to change my mind
(No, it's not easy, you know it ain't easy)
Trying to get ahead in the world
All of sudden it came over me and now I finally know
Chorus

Distant Memory
(Hess/Lesperance/Ribler)
As I walk into the dawn of another day
As I turn to face the light, shadows run away
After everything we've shared, how can we both turn and walk away
Through every single
day, I want you to know, yeah I want you to know
That our love could be more than a distant memory
It's not enough to be only a distant memory
All these changes in my life, it's hard to handle it
Without a trace of where you've been, I can't get over it
I find it strange to say, time was on our side only yesterday
We've got to find a way, baby what went wrong, are we too far gone
Chorus
Living without you is getting the best of me
Days come and nights go, I don't want to live with the memory
Chorus
Don't be a distant memory
As I walk into the dark of another day...
Don't Give Your Heart
Away
(Hess/Lesperance)
You and I had a dream to hold forever
Now it seems those days are gone
So if you think that we can pull our hearts together
Then please tell me before I go
You say you heard a voice in the night
And you swear it was your calling
Your words rang true
over mine, I want you to know
Wherever you run to
now, just remember don't give your heart away
Whoever you run to now, just remember don't give your heart away
Now I see, we have a need to be together
If you disagree, then I guess you're moving on
You say you heard a voice in the night
And you swear it was your calling
Your words rang true over mine, I want you to know
Love Reaction
(Hess/Lesperance/Coburn)
A physical attraction I could feel across the room
Inspiration, do I owe it all to you
Got no explanation why I feel the way I do
Ain't no need for complaining, cause I know that I've found heaven in you
I got a love, got a love reaction
You and me are fire meets ice
Got a love, got a love reaction
Burning in, burning in my heart
Did somebody sell you that smile upon your face
It's picture perfect, could it ever fall from grace
You got no hesitation for the way your body moves
Ain't no need for complaining, cause I know that I've found heaven in you
Chorus
I tried running away, but it always ends up leading me back
Chorus
Slowly Slipping Away
(Hess/Ribler)
There's a burning question in my heart
But I see the answer
in your eyes
An uneasy feeling without you
There's only peace by your side
Our hearts survived the cold world outside
Somehow this love keeps us alive
I feel it in the morning
I feel it all through the day
I feel the heartache, slowly slipping away, slowly slipping away
We've had our share of confusion
We've been let down so many times before
But what I've found is a real love
No need to search anymore, no
Somehow we've weathered the storms in our lives
This love has never been a lie
Chorus
We will survive the cold world outside
Somehow this love keeps us alive
Chorus
Hard To Love
(Ward/Hess/Lesperance)
You come on like a sweet child here drive me wild when I want you
You giving me a rough time then you change your mind then you want me
You come so close, but you never stay
You take my heart, and then you walk away
You're hard to love, but it's hard to let you go
I need you now, but I'm afraid of letting you know
It's hard to love, and never understand
How it slips right through your hands
I wanna say you're mine but acting like you don't know me
All I need is one night just to make it right when you're lonely
I got to know if we can make it last
Can't pretend I don't want you to know
Every touch leaves your mark on me
Little things seem to
haunt me now
I can't believe you've become a part of me
CHORUS
Honestly
(Hess)
I stand before you accused of many crimes
But I want to believe that love can still survive
You don't have to say it, I don't have to read your mind
To know that emptiness has finally arrived
How was I to know right from wrong
Words were hardly spoken, so where did I go wrong
Tell me honestly, if you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes honestly
Words have more meaning, if they're said at certain times
I need you now so I can feel alive
How would you know if you won't give me some time
To see if everything could work you'll be mine
I'll be lost forever or someday I may find
The words that I've been searching for or just some peace of mind
Chorus
All the nights I sit and wonder there must be more life
I'm sure that days and years go by while
I am living with, living with a lonely feeling
