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.
It's a Grand Night - Rodgers & Hammerstein

It's a grand ol' flag
It's a high-flying flat
With its red and its white and its blue

..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.
Grand[ Ole] Flag

Going home
Going home
Oh the dark night is over now
I'm going home
To the land I love
To the land I love
And the one girl who waits for me
I'm going home
I will cross the sea
I will cross the sea
I am going home forever
I'm going home
Going home
Going home
Going home

Fi, now prithee, John
Do not worry man
Let's be happy and
Drink a bout
You're a rogue
You cheated me
I'll swear before
This company
I caren't a farthing
Sir for all
You are so stout
Sir, you lie
I scorn your word
And any man
Who wears a sword
For all your huff
Who cares a damn
And who cares for you!
--A round for milo in his moods

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
Jilted John

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
from Sisters of Mercy by Cher

There's a baby crying softly
In a dark and dangerous place
She's imprisoned with no language
Fear grips her tiny face
Before her eyes a life is passing
A pox is in the womb
Her mother's sins are everlasting
The womb becomes her tomb.
From the song Choice by Baptist Mothers

Carefully on tiptoe stealing
Breathing softly as we may
Every step with cautious feeling
We will softly still away
Goodness me! Why what was that?
Silent be! It was the cat!
It was, it was the cat!
They're right; it was the cat!

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat

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.

Momma take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

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.
