Lyre, Lyre was the second musical episode of the show, and though it was a bit light hearted than Bitter Suite was, it was still every bit as good.
SISTERS ARE DOIN IT
X: "Oh, for crying out loud, what century are you living in?!
[Sings]: Now, there was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman.
Amo: "But in these times of change, you know?
It's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, yeah.
All: "Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet
Ringin' on their own bells.
X: "Now, this is a song to celebrate-- [All: Yeah!]
The conscious liberation of the female state.
Amo: Oh, I'm talkin' 'bout a state of mind.
Mothers and daughters and their daughters, too.
Woman to woman-- we're singin' with you. Oh, yeah.
All: "Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
Ringin' on their own bells.
X: "Oh, we ain't makin' stories
And we ain't layin' plans.
Amo: 'Cause a man still loves a woman,
And a woman still loves a man.
All: "Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet.
Ringin' on their own bells.
All: "Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
Oh, ringin' on their own bells.

WAR
Song [By Xena, Gabrielle and Joxer]: "War! What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin'!
Uh-huh, yeah. War! What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin'! ."
Xena : "Listen to me, now.
War is a thing that I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives.
War means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes
When their young go out to fight and lose their lives. ."
"War! Good God, y'all-- what is good for?
Absolutely nothin'!
Say it again, yeah. War! What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin'! ."
Gabrielle :"War! It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker!
Joxer : War! Free only to the undertaker! ."
Amazon: "War is the enemy of all mankind.
The thought of war just blows my mind.
War handed down from generation to generation--
Induction and destruction-- who wants to die?! ."
"War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
Say it again, yeah. War! What is it good for?
Nothin'! Say it again!
War! What is it good for?
Nothin'! Say it again!
War! What is it good for?"
WE CAN WORK IT OUT
Xena: Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
Gab: While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
Both: We can work it out
We can work it out
Gab: Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right
Xena: Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight or say good-night
Both: We can work it out
We can work it out
Both: Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Xena: Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
Gab: While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
Both: We can work it out
We can work it out

TARA'S DANCE
I'm a Candle in the wind,
My future flickers for my eyes.
I'm to reastless to be satisfied with silence,
So I'll push further through the night.
Say you want to put me out and then I'm wrong,
No I've heard these lies before
'Cause the fire inside, it just keeps burning,
Just won't stand it anymore.
You came along, you pulled me up whe I was down
The way you made me feel just took me by surprise.
You took my hand, you stole my heart, you fed the fire.
When you moved with me you gave me back my life
Let the spirit move me!
Let the spirit move me!
Let the spirit move me!
Let the spirit move me!
Let the spirit move me!
Let the spirit move me!
