(Sting)

Though I've tried before to tell (him)
Of the feelings I have for (him) in my heart
Every time that I come near (him)
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Chorus :
Every little thing (he) does is magic
Everything he do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for (him) goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days
Since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Chorus

I resolve to call (him) up a thousand times a day
And ask (him) if (he'll) marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Chorus

(T. Waits)

Well you gassed her up
Behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
In your Oldsmobile
Barrelin' down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of saturday night

And you got paid on Friday
And your pockets are jinglin'
And you see the lights
You get all a tinglin' cause
you're cruisin' with a 6
And you're looking for the heart of Saturday night

Then you comb your hair
Shave your face
Tryin' to wipe out ev'ry trace
All the other days
In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday
You're reachin' your peak

Stoppin' on the red
You're goin' to the green
'Cause tonight'll be like nothin'
You've ever seen
And you're barrelin' down the boulevard
Lookin' for the heart of saturday night

Tell me is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin
Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye?
Magic of the melacholy tear in your eye.

Makes it kind of quiver down in the core
'Cause you're dreamin' of them
Saturdays that came before
And now you're stumblin'
You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night

Well you gassed her up
Behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
In your Oldsmobile
Barrelin' down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of saturday night

Is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin
Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye?
Magic of the melacholy tear in your eye.

Makes it kind of special down in the core
And you're dreamin' of them
Saturdays that came before
And now you're stumblin'
You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night

So you gassed her up
Behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
In your Oldsmobile.
Barrelin' down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of saturday night.

Barrelin' down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of saturday night.

Barrelin' down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of saturday night.

(G. Brown)

One cool remove
One cool remove
And forever let me stay
One cool remove away

One cool remove
One cool remove
See it all in a passion play
One cool remove away

CHORUS:
One cool remove from the white sun,
Rising like a cloud above the land.
One cool remove from the red moon,
Falling like a hand.

One cool remove
One cool remove
And neither come nor go nor stay
One cool remove away.

CHORUS

One cool remove
One cool remove
And neither come nor go nor stay
One cool remove away.

(W.A. Ramsey)

I wish I was a millionaire
I'd play rock music and grow long hair
Tell you boys
I'd buy a new Rolls-Royce

Pretty people come to me
I'd give 'em all the third degree
I'd give 'em satin sheets
And keep 'em off the streets.....
Hallaleulah - What's it to ya'?
Praise the Lord and pass the mescaline
Praise Jehovah
And He'll come over
As soon as you see me
boogie-woogie across the silver screen.....

I hang 'em high I hang 'em low
I put 'em on the ceilings wherever I go
And they swing all the night
From the rafter light

Hallaleulah - I'm gonna sock it to ya
You got your coffee, me, I've got my Spanish tea
Praise Jehovah - Maybe He'll come over
As soon as you see me playin' my calliope

I wish I was a millionaire
I'd play rock music and grow long hair
Tell you boys - I'd buy a new Rolls-Royce
Tell you boys - I'd buy a new Rolls-Royce

(J. Sill)

There's a rugged road on the prairie
Stretchin' all across the last frontier
There a stranger strives solitary
Blessed is the lonesome pioneer
Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin'
Come on, the light is gone
Hope's slowly dyin'
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Still surveyin' the miles yet to run
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come

She can blaze a trail, through the rumblin'
Dims her guiding light to just a spark
When the hour is low, she comes tumblin'
When the moon is high she gives her heart

Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin'
Come on, the light is gone
Hope's slowly dyin'
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Gainin' steady till this round is won
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come

People far below chasin'pleasures
Offer her directions on the run
Prophets on the path offertreasures
Though she's mighty hungry she takes none

Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin'
Come on, the light is gone
Hope's slowly dyin'
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Blindly faithful but followin' none
On the long & lonely road to kingdom come

When the sun goes down at the right time
She comes windin' through the purple haze
Just a feather's touch in the nighttime
But it'll color all my weary days

Shinin' finer than this earthly sun
On the ragged rugged road to kingdom come
On the ragged rugged road to kingdom come

(R. Salley)

Leaves were falling, just like embers,
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.

Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me,
swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.

Now I'm guilty of something ...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love.

Chorus

And then you've ask me ...just to leave you
To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I've already had .

Chorus 2x

(T. Littlefield)

Neon flickers with a pale glow
And all the shadows that come and go
Sometimes I can hear them laugh and cry
In my lonely room with a view
I can't sleep and so I think of you
And watch the world as it passes by

I can't close my eyes
I can't close my eyes

Chorus:
This is my window to the world
All of the loney boys and girls
Are a reflection in my eyes
Of me and you
This is my window to it all
I see the heroes rise and fall
This is my window to the world
And I can see

As the night turns into day
Old ladies shuffle by and wave
And the kids sell drugs to cars that slowly cruise
Young lovers walk across my street
Oblivious to the refugees
And the lonely lost baby, that's me and you

I can't close my eyes
I can't close my eyes

Chorus

(S. Earle)

There ain't a lot that you can do in this town.
You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around.
You go to school and you learn to read and write.
So you can walk into the county bank and sign away your life.

I work at the fillin' station on the interstate.
Pumpin' gasoline and countin' out of state plates.
They ask me how far into Memphis girl, and where's the nearest beer.
And they don't even know that there's a town around here.
Someday I'm finally gonna let go.
'Cause I know there's a better way.
And I wanna know what's over that rainbow.
I'm gonna get out of here someday.

Now my brother went to college cause he played football.
I'm still hangin' round cause I'm a little bit small.
I got me a 67 Chevy, she's low and sleek and black.
Someday I'll put her on the interstate and never look back.

written by Robbie Robertson

Over by the wildwood club
Hot summer night
We lay in the tall grass
Til the mornin' light come shinning
If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam
Sometimes I serve my country sometimes I stay at home
Just don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
Where memories turn dusty old and grey
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time of day
Never gave a second thought never crossed my mind
To what is right and what is not I'm not the judgin' kind
I would steal your darkness and storms from your skies
But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside
Don't send me no distant salutations
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time of the day

(J. Webb)

If these old walls, if these old walls could speak.
What a tale they have to tell,
hard headed people raisin' hell.
A couple in love livin' week to week.
Rooms full of laughter, if these old walls could speak.

If these old halls, if hallowed halls could talk.
These would have a tale to tell,
the sun goin' down and dinner bells.
And children playin' at hide and seek.
From floor to rafters, if these old walls could speak.

They would tell you that I'm sorry.
For bein' and cold and blind and weak.
They would tell you that it's only that I have a stubborn streak.
If these old walls could speak.
If these old fashion window panes had eyes.
I guess they would have seen it all.
Each little tear and silence step fall.
And every dream that we came to seek,
And followed after, if these old walls could speak.

They would tell you that I owe you,
More that I could ever pay.
Here's someone who really loves you,
Don't ever go away.
That's what these walls would say.

(D. Byrne - T. Weymouth - C. Frantz - J. Harrison)

Home
Is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me 'round
I come home
Born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun

But the less we say about it the better
Let's make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the clouds
I'm okay I know nothing's wrong
Hi Ho - Got plenty of time.....
Hi Ho - Got light in your eyes.....

And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight , Say goodnight.....

Home
Is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home
You lifted up your wings
I guess this must be the place

Because I can't tell one from another
Did I find you or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks this is where I'll be

Hi Ho - We drift in and out.....
Hi Ho - Sing into my mouth.....

And out of all those kinds of people
You've got a face with a view
And I'm just an animal looking for a home
To share the same space for a minute or two

Will you love me until my heart stops?
Will you love me until I'm dead?

You've got eyes that light up
Eyes that look through
Cover up the blank spot
Hit me on the head
Say goodnight.....
Say goodnight.....
Say goodnight.....

(B. Dylan)

I've seen love go by my door,
it's never been this close before,
It's never been so easy or so slow.
I've been sooting in the dark too long,
when something's not right it's wrong.
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.

Purple clover, Queen Anne's Lace,
crimson hair across your face,
You could make me cry if you don't know .
I don't remember when I was thinking of, you might be spoiling me with too much
love,
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go .

There are dragon cloud so high above,
I have only know careless love.
It always hit me front below .
But this time 'round it's more correct,
it's right on target and so direct.
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go .

Flowers on the hillside blowing crazy.
Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme.
Blue river running slow and lazy.
I could stay with you for ever , and never realize the time .

But situations have ended sad ,
relationships have all been bad ,
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud's
But there's no way I can compare all them scenes with this affair, honey
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.

Oh, you're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing,
Staying far behing without you.
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying,
You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to.

I will I look for you in Honolulu, San Fransisco, Ashtabula,
You're gonna have to leave me now, I know.
But I'll see you in the skies above , in the tall grass and the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.
You're gonna make me lonesome.
