If these are wrong, please correct me. I got very bored.

"Contrast"

Look at what we have done,
See the colors begin to fade.
Soon, we'll lose everyone,
And there'll only be shades of grey.

Oh no. (woohoo woohoo)
This won't ever last. (woohoo woohoo)
That won't ever pass. (woohoo woohoo)
Well, I'm sorry, but we are slipping into

Contrast (hey hey hey).
Contrast, it's a common mistake.
Contrast. (hey hey hey).
How we're slipping away.

Now, there's nothing to say.
We're too stubborn to make it right.
So, we'll just sit and wait
Until everything's black and white.

Oh no. (woohoo woohoo)
This won't ever last. (woohoo woohoo)
That won't ever pass. (woohoo woohoo)
Well, I'm sorry, but we are slipping into

Contrast (hey hey hey).
Contrast, it's a common mistake.
Contrast. (hey hey hey).
How we're slipping away.

Contrast (hey hey hey).
Contrast, it's a common mistake.
Contrast. (hey hey hey).
Oh how we're slipping away.

(woohoo woohoo)
(woohoo woohoo)
This won't ever last. (woohoo woohoo)
That won't ever pass. (woohoo woohoo)
Well, I'm sorry, but...

"Wooden Heart"

Well, I didn't know what I should do
To help myself get over,
And mend this heart of mine.

So, I took my axe and walked around
Until I knew that I had found
The perfect piece of pine.

Well, I took my axe and walked around,
*And sized it up good* and cut it down.

Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart.
Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart.

Well, I've carved and sanded with the grain,
And I've added coats of stain,
And my new heart's looking good,
But one more problem still remains:
I just can't seem to make this thing
Work the way it should.

Well, I've carved and sanded with the grain.
This heart of mine just ain't the same.

Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart.
Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart.

When you are mine, this heart will shine.
I set my watch to its perfect time.
When you are mine, this heart will shine.
I set my watch to its perfect time.
When you are mine, this heart will shine.
I set my watch to its perfect... time! time!

C'mon girl, you will polish my wooden heart.
Oh girl, you will polish my wooden heart.

C'mon girl! C'mon! ...

* not sure exactly what that line is.

"I Will Wander"

Send in the angels! Send in the team!
There's a fire on the mountain, fire in my jeans.
It's the right time for leaving, right time to see...
Gonna write you a letter that isn't fit to read.

I will wander! I will wander!
I will wander! I will wander!

Call on the agents! Call on the arms!
Put your guards in position, and set your alarms.
Well, I know what you're thinking, I know what you'll do
When you stare at the ceiling deciding who to choose.

I will wander! I will wander!
I will wander! I will wander!

Send in the angels! Send in the team!
I will wander! I will wander!

Fire on the moutain, fire in my jeans!
I will wander! I will wander!

Right time for leaving, right time to see.
I will wander! I will wander!

Write you a letter that isn't fit to read.
I will wander! I will wander!

"Commotion"

Comb your hair, put on your shoes.
Then, you fill your bag with anything you can use.
Now, you run and ask your mother if she'll mind that you stay over with friends.
But your sister and your brother know exactly how you're planning to spend your night... alright!

Takes a little commotion, any ruckus will do.
Just a little commotion, now, to get a rise out of you.

Call your ride, wait on the street.
Now, rock beats scissors for the passenger seat.
Always hoping to discover something other than the usual place,
But it's hard to find another when your town is known for limited space and slow pace... alright! (Is this Murfreesboro?!)

Takes a little commotion, any ruckus will do.
Just a little commotion, now, to get a rise out of you.
Ahhhllright, get a rise out of you.
Ahhh yea, Ahhhh.

Wheels in motion abound*,
Ain't no turning around.
Youth in motion aloud,
Ain't no turning it down.

Takes a little commotion, any ruckus will do.
Just a little commotion, now, to get a rise out of you.
Ahhhllright, get a rise out of you.
Ahhh yea, Ahhhh.

* not exactly sure if that's the line.

"Guillotine"

You stand before the king, and his eyes are glowing red.
First, he whispers to the queen, then he turns to you and says,
"Boy, you're damned if you do. Boy, you're damned if you don't
Now, there isn't any time, So decide the one you want."

You take a moment while it sinks in.
Then you politely tell him, oh, that you won't bend.

Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Guillotine.
Gonna lose your head.
Gonna lose your head.
Gonna lose...

Now, the king begins to laugh, and the queen just sips her wine.
While the others fill the room with the talk of their surprise.
Now, they take you by the arm, and out the door you're lead.
As they're dragging you away you hear "Off with his head!"

Soon you're surrounded, 'cause everybody knows -
There'll be no admission, oh, to see your show!

Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Guillotine.

You wear a smile now, 'cause you have no choice.
You're just entertainment for the girls and boys.

Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Guillotine.
Gonna lose your head.
Gonna lose your head.
Gonna lose your head.
Now, you lost your head.

Hopefully, that's it.

Could very well be. I just *hoped* it was Murfreesboro. Don't you like those asterisks? Yea, the only thing good that ever came out of Sparta was HWY 111, oh, and the Features.

I thought in "Wooden Heart" he was saying "I sized it up, girl, and cut it down". I may be wrong, but I like that better than " and sized it up good".
But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town?
