Look don't touch 'cause lookin' I don't mind

"Lady of the dawn
You are the dealer,
In this strange, uncertain game,
Take my cards and deal again,
I can feel my life is changing.
Woman,
Now you taught me how to learn,
Teach me to earn
The love you give to me,
The love you give to me..."

Amazes Me
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1989
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're a cool little one
My dark southern breeze
Sweeps through my fingers
And it amazes me
Dixie shadowland
Your envy shelters me
Lay down your burden
Mystery of ebony
And it amazes me
Oh it amazes me
Maybe the heat babe could be this tune
It amazes me
It amazes me
What drives me crazy is that big fat yellow moon
Look up that pale light
Well she's waking the trees
I'm drifting in your hoodoo
And it amazes me
That magnolia state
Got a hold on me
I got no blues to preach
Just Mississippi company
Ain't no magic potion
No gri-gri on her side
She's bound to my salvation
Sweet little mama
Take me down by the river tonight
And it amazes me

Blues Never Fade Away

Well Elton was handsome, he was made in England
His was a bit fat and almost bald Marilyn was the queen of Hollywood, USA made
No one could hold her tight, her hair was bright as gold
Elton was magnetic, he hated growing old
Marilyn never got old
Elton and Marilyn spent many nights alone
With their dreams and memories on silent telephones....

RED LIPSTICK
Music & lyrics by Arno Hintjens
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There's something wrong
like my brain is gone
Not from drinking, but from living
My last girlfriend was a drinker
she lost her dog
his name was Thinker
The sunlight in her eyes
Shows her age
I wish I'd never seen her face
I still got her red lipstick on my face
She gives a stare that could
nail a sign on a tree
The eyeballs of a snake
Nothing is fake
she could make a fish sing
she could make a cow dance
she acts like a rock star
but couldn't play the guitar
The sunlight in her eyes
shows her age
I wish I'd never seen her face
I still got her red lipstick on my face
She walks so nice
as if she was afraid
of taking up too much place
she was beautiful like fire
she smells like fire
She smells like, like flowers
The sunlight in her eyes
shows her age
I wish I never see her face
I still got her red lipstick on my face
I still got her red lipstick on my face

"Little darling, I feel that the ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right

Between Seventeen And Twenty
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1976
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight
Whose head rests upon the bed
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
Who seems to be so close to you instead
Close to you instead
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
From there on, there seemed no use for you
For you to stay
And if I shower around 3 a.m.
It's just to wash away
The trace of a love unwanted
Oh in the times I went astray
The times I went astray
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen

Crystal
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1983
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're caught up in a web, you and I
Since Crystal came between us
The knots of friendship seem to be untied
And it hurts me most to cheat and that's no lie
She can swing us both forever
In the long run she's the one who must decide
And if she leaves me handle her with care
Don't hurt little Crystal
And if she calls you long distance just be there
Oh Crystal
The world is your oyster, you're a pearl
But he's a jewel and my friend
I'm sure that in the end, Crystal you'll be his little girl
Oh Crystal
You're stronger than me but I'm sure
That the fight would fall to no one
The cold hard truth is stronger than us all
And it breaks my heart to see us go this far
We're just captives in our separate cells
And without her there's no peace behind these bars

"Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you, girl
What can I do without you in my life?
I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way
The hardest one to lose of all the games we played
But the time is past for living in a dream world
Lying to myself can't make that scene
Of wondering if you love me or just making a fool of me
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down (and watch the sun go down)
Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)
But I'll be thinking of you (yes and I'll be thinking of you)
And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been)
Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry)
Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die)
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
For all the sunny skies, it's raining in my heart
I know down in my soul I'm really gonna miss you
But it had to end this way with all the games we played
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down)
And hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)
But I'll be thinking of you (yes and I'll be thinking of you)
And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been)
Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry)
Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die)
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down)
Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)
But I'll be thinking of you (yes and I'll be thinking of you)
And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been)
Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry)
Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die)
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
Watch the ships come in (sit and watch the sun go down)
Wonder where they've been (listen to the sea roll in)
But I'll be thinking of you, darling (yes and I'll be thinking of you)..."

This Masquerade
Music & lyrics by Leon Russell 1976
--------------------------------------------------------------
Are we really happy
With this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anywhere
We're lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say
We're just to far away
From being close together
From the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside
This lonely game we play
Thoughts of weeping
Disappear every time
I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
We could just start over
But it's oh so, hard to do
When you're lost in a masquerade

"Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
She held me spellbound in the night (Woo-ooh)
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room (Woo-ooh)
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
Well, I know you want a lover, let me tell you brother
She's been sleeping in the devil's bed
And there's some rumors going round, someone's underground
She can rock you in the night time 'til your skin turns red..."
WITCHY WOMAN - Eagles, 1972

"I don't care if you never come home
I don't mind if you just keep on
Rowing away on a distant sea
Because I don't love you and you don't love me
You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give them a smile and they melt
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine..."

Now I'm under their spell

And I dream I can spread my wings..."

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
Music & lyrics by Queen/Freddie Mercury
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
and I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fightin' till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You've brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses no pleasure cruise
and I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I'd never lose
And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fightin' till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

"You've got me under your spell, again
Sayin' those things, again
Makin' me believe that you're just mine
You've got me dreamin' those dreams, again
Makin' those things, again
I've gotta take you back just one more time
I swore the last time that you let me down
That I wouldn't see you if you came around
But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong
And I've been so lonely since you've been gone..."

The Man With The Child In His Eyes
Music & lyrics by Kate Bush 1978
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
("He's here! He's here!
He's here! He's here!")
I hear him, before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been.
I realise he's there,
When I turn the light off and turn over.
Nobody knows about my man.
They think he's lost on some horizon.
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before,
Telling me about the sea,
All his love, 'til eternity.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
He's very understanding,
And he's so aware of all my situations.
And when I stay up late,
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate.
Oh, I'm so worried about my love.
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever."
And here I am again, my girl,
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here.
Maybe he doesn't love me.
I just took a trip on my love for him.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.

Tonight
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1976
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight
Do we have to fight again
Tonight
I just want to go to sleep
Turn out the light
But you want to carry grudges
Nine times out of ten
I see the storm approaching
Long before the rain starts falling
Tonight
Does it have to be the old thing
Tonight
It's late, too late
To chase the rainbow that you're after
I'd like to find a compromise
And place it in your hands
My eyes are blind, my ears can't hear
And I cannot find the time
Tonight
Just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight
Why not approach with less defiance
The man who'd love to see you smile
Who'd love to see you smile
Tonight

STRANGE LITTLE GIRL
Music & lyrics The Stranglers
(Covered by Tori Amos)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
one day you see a strange little girl look at you
one day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
she'd run to the town one day
leaving home and the country fair
just beware
when you're there
strange little girl
she didn't know how to live in a town that was rough
it didn't take long before she knew she had enough
walking home in her wrapped up world
she survived but she's feeling old
and she found all things cold
strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
where are you going?
do you know where you could be going?
walking home in her wrapped up world
she survived but she's feeling old
cuz she found all things cold
strange little girl
where are you going?
do you know where you could be going?
