Suspicions rising, answers aren’t clear I thought we made a promise, now you’ve disappeared You seem to lead two lives at a time Do I still fit in, I thought you were mine Sitting at the bar in our favorite cafe I turn and see ya laughin’ with her and your smile fades away Didn’t surprise me, there’s nothin’ left to say I caught you red-handed now and you can’t walk away...

The red headed stranger from Blue Rock Montana Rode into town one day And under his knees was a raging black stallion Walking behind was a bay The Red Headed Stranger had eyes like the thunder And his lips, they were sad and tight His little lost love, lay asleep on the hillside And his heart was heavy this night
Don't cross him, don't boss him He's wild in his sorrow He's riding and hiding his pain Don't fight him, don't spite him Just wait till tomorrow, maybe he'll ride on again
A yellow haired lady leaned out of her window And watched as he passed her way She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion But cast greedy eyes on the bay But how could she know that this dancing bay pony Meant more to him than life For this was the horse that his little lost darling, Had ridden when she was his wife.
The yellow haired lady came down to the tavern And looked up the stranger there He bought her a drink and he gave her some money He just didn't seem to care She followed him out as he saddled the stallion And laughed as she grabbed at the bay, He shot her so quick, they had no time to warn her, She never heard anyone say
Don't cross him, don't boss him He's wild in his sorrow He's riding and hiding his pain Don't fight him, don't spite him Just wait till tomorrow, maybe he'll ride on again
The yellow haired lady was buried at sunset, The stranger went free of course, For you can't hang a man for killing a woman Who's trying to steal your horse This is the tale of the Red Headed stranger, And if he should pass your way Stay out of the path of the raging black stallion And don't lay a hand on the bay
The Red Headed Stranger ________________________Willie Nelson

LIGHTS
When the lights go down in the City And the sun shines on the bay I want to be there in my City Ooh, ooh
So you think you're lonely Well my friend I'm lonely too I want to get back to my City by the bay Ooh, ooh
It's sad, oh there's been mornings out on the road without you, Without your charms, Ooh, my, my, my

Without You
by Harry Nilsson
No, I can't forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrow When I think of all my sorrows When I had you there but then I let you go And now it's only fair that I should let you know What you should know
I can't live if living is without you I can't live, I can't give any more Can't live if living is without you I can't give, I can't give any more

City girls just seem to find out early How to open doors with just a smile. A rich old man and she won't have to worry. She'll dress up all in lace and go in style. Late at night a big old house gets lonely, I guess every form of refuge has its price. And it breaks her heart to think her love is only Given to a man with hands as cold as ice. So she tells him she must go out for the evening To comfort an old friend who's feeling down. But he knows where she's going as she's leaving, She’s headed for the cheating side of town. You can't hide your lying eyes and your smile is a thin disguise. I thought by now you'd realize, there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.

Cold As Ice
You're as cold as ice You're willing to sacrifice our love
You never take advice Someday you'll pay the price I know
I've seen it before It happens all the time You're closing the door You leave the world behind You're digging for gold Yet throwing away A fortune in feelings But someday you'll pay

It's a human sign When things go wrong When the scent of her lingers And temptation's strong
Into the boundary Of each married man Sweet deceit comes calling And negativity lands
Cold cold heart Hard done by you Some things look better baby Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice Just a simple word It's two hearts living In two separate worlds But it's no sacrifice No sacrifice It's no sacrifice at all...

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart Why can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

She came onto him like a slow-moving cold front His beer was warmer than the look in her eye She sat on a stool, and he said "What do you want?" She said "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside."
He said, "I have melted some hearts in my time, dear, But to sit next to you, well I shiver and shake, And if I knew love, well I don't think I'd be here Askin' myself if I've got what it takes
"To melt your icy blue heart Should I start To turn what's been frozen for years Into a river of tears?"

Dream Weaver
I've just closed my eyes again Climbed aboard the dream weaver train Driver take away my worries of today And leave tomorrow behind
Ooh dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies Maybe to an astral plane Cross the highways of fantasy Help me to forget todays pain Though the dawn may be coming soon There still may be some time Fly me away to the bright side of the moon And meet me on the other side Dream weaver

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk. Music loud and women warm, I’ve been kicked around Since I was born. And now it’s all right. it’s ok. And you may look the other way. We can try to understand The new york times’ effect on man.
Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother, You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’, And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive.

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell But goodbye's too good a word, gal So I'll just say fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right

Well I'll bet she's not like me... Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me

She asks me why I'm just a hairy guy I'm hairy noon and night Hair that's a fright I'm hairy high and low Don't ask me why Don't know It's not for lack of break Like the Grateful Dead Darling
Gimme head with hair Long beautiful hair Shining, gleaming, Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair Shoulder length or longer Here baby, there mama Everywhere daddy daddy
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair Flow it, show it Long as God can grow it My hair
Let it fly in the breeze And get caught in the trees Give a home to the fleas in my hair A home for fleas A hive for bees A nest for birds There ain't no words For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder Of my...
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair Flow it, show it Long as God can grow it My hair
I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty Oily, greasy, fleecy Shining, gleaming, streaming Flaxen, waxen Knotted, polka-dotted Twisted, beaded, braided Powdered, flowered, and confettied Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!
Oh say can you see My eyes if you can Then my hair's too short
Down to here Down to there Down to where It stops by itself
They'll be ga ga at the go go When they see me in my toga My toga made of blond Brilliantined Biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it Hallelujah I adore it Hallelujah Mary loved her son Why don't my mother love me?
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair Flow it, show it Long as God can grow it My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair Flow it, show it Long as God can grow it My hair

There was a man lived in the moon, in the moon, in the moon. There was a man lived in the moon and his name was Aikendrum.
And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle. He played upon a ladle and his name was Aikendrum. And his hair was made of spaghetti spaghetti spaghetti. His hair was made of spaghetti and his name was Aikendrum.
And his eyes were made of meatballs meatballs meatballs. His eyes were made of meatballs and his name was Aikendrum.
And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle. He played upon a ladle and his name was Aikendrum.
And his nose was made of cheese cheese cheese. His nose was made of cheese and his name was Aikendrum.
And his mouth was made of pizza pizza pizza. His mouth was made of pizza and his name was Aikendrum.

You don't need no fancy tricks Painted eyes or glossy lips I love you just the way you are Hope you don't mind my beat up car
You don't need to change your dress You don't need to change your shoes
Don't try to hide your natural looks Forget about the cover let me read the book Don't get me wrong I like them heels But the way I feel is the way I feel
You don't need to change your dress You don't need to change your shoes
Go ahead be wild and free You don't have to shave your legs for me

There once was a union maid, she never was afraid Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid. She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called, And when the Legion boys come 'round She always stood her ground.
CHORUS: Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union. Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies, She couldn't be fooled by a company stool, she'd always organize the guys. She always got her way when she struck for better pay. She'd show her card to the National Guard And this is what she'd say:
CHORUS
You gals who want to be free, just take a tip from me; Get you a man who's a union man and join the ladies' auxiliary. Married life ain't hard when you got a union card, A union man has a happy life when he's got a union wife.
-- Woody Gutherie (yep, did google that one)
Gutherie is said to have made this one up on the spot, when I union organizer was having an unpositive response at a meeting from the workers she was trying organize.

My daddy was the family bassman My mamma was an engineer And I was born one dark gray morn With music coming in my ears In my ears.
They call me baby driver And once upon a pair of wheels Hit the road and I’m gone ah What’s my number I wonder how your engine feels Ba ba ba ba Scoot down the road What’s my number I wonder how your engine feels.

So wrap me Wrap me Wrap me do In the shelter of your arms I am ever your volunteer I won't do you any harm I will love you innumerably You can count on my word When times are mysterious Serious numbers Will always be heard When times are mysterious Serious numbers will always be heard And after all is said and done And the numbers all come home The four rolls into three The three turns into two And the two becomes a One

What with all my expectations long abandoned And a future I no longer saw my hand in How I found you is beyond my understanding My stunning mystery companion
I know that you don't want to be Out here forever on this road Or live among the boxes Where all my past lives have been stowed Maybe you're thinking of someplace With a garden by the sea Where we could slow down And you could put a little more work in on me

Home By the Sea
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall Stealing thru the dark of night Climbing thru a window, stepping to the floor Checking to the left and the right Picking up the pieces, putting them away Something doesn’t feel quite right
Help me someone, let me out of here Then out of the dark was suddenly heard Welcome to the home by the sea

Trouble in mind...I'm blue. But I won't be blue always 'cause the sun gonna shine in my backdoor someday.
I'm gonna lay, my head On some lonesome railroad iron And let the 2:19 train Ease my worried mind.

Now I’m singing (now I'm singing this happy song) because I’m happy (because I'm happy as I go along) And I don't know (I don't know) just what I’d do If the Lord wasn't walking by my side... edit to tie in to sneaky Milo... I’d be so friendless (I'd be friendless all alone and blue) and I'd be helpless (I'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do) And I don't know (I don't know) just what I’d do If the Lord wasn't walking by my side Elvis P

And in my mind I still need a place to go, All my changes were there. Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us Helpless, helpless, helpless

I see the bad moon arising. I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightnin’. I see bad times today.
Don’t go around tonight, Well, it’s bound to take your life, There’s a bad moon on the rise.

Tonight, tonight, tonight I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright Like a load on your back that you can't see But it's alright Try to shake it loose, cut it free, let it go, Get it away from me, oh
Cause tonight, tonight, tonight, oh I'm gonna make it right tonight, tonight, tonight, oh

Say hello to something new Is what a friend told me to do 'cos beggars can't be choosers and I can't afford to loose We never touched we never kissed We never loved though we thought we did So I walked away and I called it quits What the eyes don't see, you know the heart won't miss
But I feel like a monkey in winter And you are a lizard in the sun Yes I feel like a monkey in winter And winter's just began

Oh, Red went and bought himself a monkey Got him from a pawn shop broker. Taught that monkey how to guzzle beer And he taught him how to play stud poker. Last night when they were gambling in the kitchen The monkey he was taking a beating. The monkey said "Red, I'm going to shoot you dead 'cause I know that you've been cheating."
Well, run Red run, 'cause he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head. Run Red run, 'cause he's got your gun, And he's aiming it at your head. You better get up and wail, You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead.
Monkey trapped Red in a parking lot Down along the Avenue. Monkey said, "Red, you've made a man out of me, Now I'm going to make a monkey out of you. Give me your car keys, give me your wallet Give it to me, or I'll shoot. Gonna put on your brand new Stetson hat And go to town in your new brown suit."

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is
As I was walking down the street one day A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah And I said

He's got those Russians on the runHisler: (spoken) I was just a paper hanger No one more obscurer Got a phone call from the Reichstag Told me I was Fuhrer Germany was blue What, oh, what to do? Hitched up my pants And conquered France Now Deutschland's smiling through! But it wasn't always so easy... It was 1932. Hindenburg was working the Big Room and I... I was playing the lounge. And then I got my big break. Somebody burned down the Reichstag. And, would you believe it? They made me Chancellor. It ain't no myst'ry If it's politics or hist'ry The thing you gotta know is Ev'rything is show biz Heil myself Watch my show I'm the German Ethel Merman Dontcha know We are crossing borders The new world order is here Make a great big smile Ev'ryone sieg heil to me Wonderful me! And now it's... Springtime for Hitler and Germany Goose-step's the new step todayHisler: (shouted) Springtime! Goose-steps! Bombs falling from the skies again!

Gosh, Consuexcello, are we the elite reduced to "freak flags fly"?
Oh well...
And how's your new love? Well, I hope that he's doin fine I heard you told him, that you'd love him till the end of time It's been so long now. But it seems like only yesterday Gee, ain't it funny, how time just slips away.
Well I gotta go now And I guess I'll see you around But I dont know when, though, Cause you never know, when I'll be back in town But remember, what I told you That in time you're gonna pay Ain't it funny, how time just slips right on away.

I met you several years ago, The times they were so strange, but I had a feeling. You looked into my eyes just once, An instant flashing by that we were stealing. Another time you felt so bad, And I wasn't any help at all as I recall. We didn't quite know what to do so we left the wanting be Still there for me and you.
Dark star, I see you in the morning, Dark star, a' sleeping next to me. Dark star, let the memory of the evening Be the first thing that you think of When you open up your smile and see me, dark star.

Helplessly hoping Her harlequin hovers nearby Awaiting a word Gasping at glimpses Of gentle true spirit He runs, wishing he could fly Only to trip at the sound of good-bye
Wordlessly watching He waits by the window And wonders At the empty place inside Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams He worries Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?
They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other
Stand by the stairway You'll see something Certain to tell you confusion has its cost Love isn't lying It's loose in a lady who lingers Saying she is lost And choking on hello
They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other

'Cause I've never once dissed one of yours I'll light the fire You place the flowers in the vase That you bought today Staring at the fire For hours and hours While I listen to you Play your love songs All night long for me Only for me Come to me now And rest your head for just five minutes Everything is done Such a cosy room The windows are illuminated By the evening sunshine through them Fiery gems for you Only for you Our house is a very, very, very fine house With two cats in the yard Life used to be so hard Now everything is easy 'Cause of you Our House~CSN&Y

Sitting by the fireside with a book in your hand Two lazy dogs sittin' watchin' your man Three roses were bought with you in mind Three roses were bought with you in mind
I gotta stop and see what I'm on about Stop and feel what I want I gotta Stop and see what I'm on about Stop and feel what I want with you Ah
Walking through a wonderland, I got you by the hand Every move we made, just as if it were planned Three roses were bought with you in mind Three roses were bought with you in mind

Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it’s breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That’s the time you must keep on trying Smile, what’s the use of crying? You’ll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
<instrumental interlude>
That’s the time you must keep on trying Smile, what’s the use of crying? You’ll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile

Now I look'ed east And I look'ed west Where the sun, it shown wonderful warm And who should I spy But my bonny, bonny boy He was locked in another girl's arms He was locked in another girl's arms
Now the girl who's the joy Of my bonny, bonny boy I'm sure she is never to blame Though many a long night She has robbed me of my rest She never will do it again She never will do it again

Once upon a time, A girl with moonlight in her eyes, Put her>>> hand<<< in mine, And said she loved me so . . . But that was once upon a time, Very long ago!
Once upon a hill, We sat beneath the willow tree, Counting all the stars, And waiting for the dawn, But that was once upon a time, Now, the tree is gone!
How the breeze ruffled through her hair, How we always laughed, As though tomorrow wasn’t there . . . We were young, And didn’t have a care, Where did it go?
Once upon a time, The world was sweeter than we knew, Everything was ours, How happy we were then . . . But, somehow, once upon a time, Never comes again!

It's a grand night for singing The moon is flying high And smewhere a bird who is bound to be heard Is throwing his heart at the sky.
It's a grand night for singing The stars are bright above The earth is aglow and to add to the show I think I am falling in love Falling, falling in love.
Maybe it's more than the moon Maybe it's more than the birds Maybe it's more than the sight of the night In a light too lovely for words. Maybe it's more than the earth Shining in silvery blue Maybe the reason I'm feeling this way Has something to do with you.
It's a grand night for singing The moon is flying high And smewhere a bird who is bound to be heard Is throwing his heart at the sky.
It's a grand night for singing The stars are bright above The earth is aglow and to add to the show I think I am falling in love Falling, falling in love.

..your insolence is showing.
You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of The land I love. The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue, Where there's never a boast or brag. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

I've been going out with a girl Her name is Julie But last night she said to me when we were watching telly (this is what she said) She said listen John I love you But there's this bloke I fancy I dont want to two time you So its the end for you and me Who's this bloke I asked her Goooooordon, she replied Not THAT poof, I said dismayed yes but he's no poof she cried - he's more a man than you'll ever be
Here we go, two three four
I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop When I came out there was Gordon standing at the bus stop And guess who was with him Yeah, Julie, and they were both laughing at me oh, she is cruel and heartless to pack me for Gordon Just cos he's better looking than me just cos he's cool and trendy

Your faith is not faithful You grace has no grace Your mercy shows no mercy Is there nowhere out of this place?
There's a baby crying softly In a dark and dangerous place She's imprisoned by no language Fear grips her tiny face In God's house she's held a hostage By a cruel and heartless mob There's some rules they think God's written And it justifies their job
Sisters of Mercy Daughters of hell They always weave Their webs of flies And wrap you in their wicked spell Sisters of Mercy, Masters of pain They tried to crucify your innocence And do it in God's name

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love after all that I've done You won't believe me All you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun So I chose freedom Running around, trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance
Don't cry for me Argentina - "Evita" (1976) Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics: Tim Rice.

Mad About You
A stone's throw from Jerusalem A walked a lonely mile in the moonlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you I'm lost without you And though you hold the keys to ruin Of everything I see With every prison blown to dust, My enemies walk free Though all the kingdoms turn to sand And fall into the sea I'm mad about you I'm mad about you
-- Sting

There's somethin' strange in the fridge today I don't know what it is Food I can't recognize. My roommate won't throw a thing away I guess it's prob'ly his - It looks like it's alive
And livin' in the fridge Livin' in the fridge livin' in the fridge livin' in the fridge.
There's something strange in the fridge today it's green and growing hair Been there since July. If you can name the object in that baggie over there then, mister, you're a better man than I.
It's livin' in the fridge (Just can't stop the mold from growin') Livin' in the fridge (Can't tell what it is at all) Livin' in the fridge (Just can't stop the mold from growin') Livin' in the fridge.
Tell me, do you think it should be carbon-dated Fumigated, or cremated and buried at sea ? Try to save a little bit of your home cookin', Couple weeks late, got a scary lookin' specimen It always happens my friend, Again, and again and again.
Well, something stinks in the fridge today and it's been rottin' there all week. It could be liver cake or woolly mammoth steak Well, maybe I should take another peek - AAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHH!
It's livin' in the fridge (Just can't stop the mold from growin') Livin' in the fridge (Can't tell what it is at all) Livin' in the fridge (Just can't stop the mold from growin') Livin' in the fridge.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man, no time to talk. Music loud and women warm. I've been kicked around since I was born. And now it's all right, it's O.K. And you may look the other way. We can try to understand The New York Times' effect on man. Whether you're a brother Or whether you're a mother, You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Feel the city breakin' And ev'rybody shakin' And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

I've been pulled to pieces, i've got an arm over here, I've got a leg over there, i've got my bleep somewhere upside down, But i'm back, i'm here to tell you i'm back, better than before, Can't keep a good thing down, uh-uh.
Well i've been kicked around , never thought that i could fall, Thought that i was standing tall, turned out i was the ball, And you know what, and i, and i, and i've been kicked around, Baby after all, i took all the shots you called, Turned out i was the ball, you kicked you pushed.
And i've been kicked around, , and i've been upside down, Oh i've been bounced around, kicked around, I'm gonna get you, get you, your very momma will regret you, I'm going to stomp and drag you to your knees, Your very papa will forget you, kicked around.

Stay by me And make the moment last Please take these lips Even if I have been kissed A million times
And I don't care if there is no tomorrow When I could die here in your arms Even if the stars have made us blind We're blind we're blind So blind in love
Sweet darling Don't you know that we're no different to anyone We stumble We falter But we're no different than anyone
And all the winter snow has melted now Into a pool of silver water And we were standing in a thunder cloud Dark as your hair Dark as your hair
Stay By Me Annie Lennox

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Your branches green delight us. They're green when summer days are bright; They're green when winter snow is white.
