There's all kinds of music
Everywhere you go
Some folks like it fast
Some folks like it slow
Some folks like it hot
Some folks like it blue
Some folks like it old
Some folks like it new

Now I'm not knocking country
And I'm not rappin' rap
Big Band swing just ain't my thing
Alternative ain't my snap

The only thing that turns me on
Is when I hear a soulful song

Soul with a capitol "S"
Soul with a capitol "S"
Sweet soul music that's the best
Soul with a capitol "S"

Music makes you happy
Or it can make you sad
It can turn the worst day
To the best you've ever had
For entertainment value
If I had to choose
You and me might disagree
'Cause I like Rhythm and Blues

Now I'm not dissin' disco
Not sayin' punk is bunk
I can't settle for heavy metal
'Cause I've gotta have that funk


Soul with a capitol "S"
Soul with a capitol "S"
Sweet soul music that's the best
Soul with a capitol "S"

Soul With a Capitol "S" - Tower of Power
This is the greatest song to shovel snow by!

But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine

I'm writing you, my dear,
Just to tell you,
In September, you remember
'Neath the old apple tree
You whispered to me
When it blossomed again, you'd be mine.

"I'LL BE WITH YOU IN APPLE BLOSSOM TIME"
Lyrics by Neville Fleeson;
Music by Albert Von Tilzer
(1920)

There are places I'll remember,
all my life though some have changed.
Some forever not for better,
some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments,
with lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living,
in my life I've loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one compares with you,
and these memories lose their meaning,
when I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection,
for people and things that went before.
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
in my life I love you more.

Though I know I'll never lose affection,
for people and things that went before.
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
in my life I love you more.

In my life I love you more.

Four boys from Liverpool

“Speak to me gently before we begin,” she pleads, but they laugh and pull her down;
And after they’ve used her, briefly and roughly, they leave her to face the dawn alone.
When they have gone she moves on her side, thinks of the men that with her have laid –
And none of them gave her a kind word of loving, and after they’d done, not one of them stayed.

Once she was wary, chose but a few to roll in her arms at the end of the day,
But the flowers of love begins now to wither, and many may pluck at the petals so gay
Alone in the night she muses awhile, and thinks of the days and how they will pass ~
She cries for the lonely years that are waiting, ‘til death takes her hand and waits her reply.

Down in the barroom she moves among men who watch her and touch her whenever they can;
And she notices hands, and mouths as they drink, and over their tankards the eyes of each man…

Speak to me gently before we begin


She Moves Among Men (The Barmaid’s Song)
(Caddick) sung by June Tabor

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

John Lennon

I feel that I should say "Mornington Crescent" now (British radio joke) - I can't believe that we have gone all this time without Imagine! If we haven't then let me know and I'll have to find something else.

ONE


Singular sensation
Ev'ry little step she takes.
One thrilling combination
Ev'ry move that she makes.
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do.
You know you'll never be lonely with you know who.

One moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest.
For the girl is second best to none, son.
Ooh! Sigh!
Give her your attention.
Do I
Really have to mention
She's the one?

A Chorus Line
Kirkwood, Bennett, Dante, Hamlish & Kleban
