I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you cared

"New England", by Billy Bragg
(and covered by Kirsty McColl)

Words! Words! I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day through;
First from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?
Don't talk of stars Burning above; If you're in love,
Show me! Tell me no dreams
Filled with desire. If you're on fire,
Show me! Here we are together in the middle of the night!
Don't talk of spring! Just hold me tight!
Anyone who's ever been in love'll tell you that
This is no time for a chat! Haven't your lips
Longed for my touch? Don't say how much,
Show me! Show me! Don't talk of love lasting through time.
Make me no undying vow. Show me now!
Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme!
Don't waste my time, Show me!

Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
You could drive a person crazy,
You could drive a person mad.
Doo-doo doo-doo doo.
First you make a person hazy
So a person could be had.
Doo-doo doo-doo doo.
Then you leave a person dangling sadly
Outside your door,
Which it only makes a person gladly
Want you even more.

I can understand a person
If it's not a person's bag.
Doo-doo doo-doo doo.
I can understand a person
If a person was a fag.
Doo-doo doo-doo doo.
Boo-boo-boo-boo.
But worse than that,
A person that
Titillates a person then and leaves her flat
Is crazy,
He's a troubled person
He's a truly crazy person
Himself.

You crummy bastard! You sonofabitch!

When a person's personality is personable
He shouldn't oughta sit like a lump.
It's harder than a matador coercin' a bull
To try to get you offa your rump.

So single and attentive and attractive a man
Is everything a person could wish
But turning off a person is the act of a man
Who likes to pull the hooks out of fish.

Knock, knock, is anybody there?
Knock, knock, it really isn't fair,
Knock, knock, I'm working on my charms.
Knock, knock, a zombie's in my arms.

All that sweet affection,
What is wrong?
Where's the loose connection?
How long, oh Lord, how long?
Bobby, baby, Bobby, bubi, Bobby,

You could drive a person buggy,
You could blow a person's cool.
Doo-doo doo-doo doo.
Like you make a person feel all huggy
While you make her feel a fool.
Doo-doo doo-doo doo.
When a person says that you've upset her
That's when you're good.
You impersonate a person better
Than a zombie should.

I could understand a person
If he wasn't good in bed.
Doo-doo doo-doo doo.
I could understand a person
If he actually was dead.
Doo-doo doo-doo.
Exclusive you,
Elusive you,
Will any person ever get the juice of you?
You're crazy,
You're a lovely person,
You're a moving deeply maladjusted,
Never to be trusted
Crazy person
Yourself.

Bobby is my hobby, and I'm giving it up!

You Could Drive a Person Crazy
from "Company" by Stephen Sondheim

She's tall in the saddle - got a rose in her teeth
She's my hell incarnate - just walkin' down your street
You've seen the line on the glory from the heart of the flame
From the ... I don't know a story - but your song never change
Tell me why - oh, tell me why

Helen of Troy - Robert Plant

I'm in the mood for a melody
I'm in the mood for a melody
I'm in the mood
I'm in the mood for a melody
I'm in the mood for a melody
I'm in the mood
I'm in the mood for a melody
I'm in the mood for a melody
I'm in the mood

I can make you dance - I can make you sing
I can make you dance - I can make you sing
If you want me to
I can make you dance - I can make you sing
I can make you dance - I can make you sing
If you want me to
I can make you dance - I can make you sing
I can make you dance - I can make you sing
If you want me to

Any little song that you want to sing
Little songs that you want to sing
Any song will do
Any little song that you want to sing
Little songs that you want to sing
It's up to you
Little songs that you want to sing
A little song that you want to sing
You're blue

I'm in the mood
I'm in the mood
I'm in the mood

I can write it on the door - I can put it on the floor
I can do anything that you want me for
If you want me to
I can do it right - I can do it wrong
'Cause a matter of fact it'll turn out to be strong
If you want me to

In the Mood - Robert Plant

I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
Burt Bacharach

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

My darling believe me,
For me there is no one
But you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true -
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue...

Written by Burt Bacharach, performed best by the Carpenters

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen "The Boss"


The Only WO'N!
