"I walked in
There sat Slim
Cleaning up his memory with some Sapphire Gin
Mr. Paine grabbed my arm
Pulled me aside
And said "Kid are you ready for the wild ride?"
I looked up
There she stood
I said, "If you didn't look so great
I'd say you look good"
She took her hand
Ran it up my thigh
And said "Cowboy you ready for the wild ride?"... "
WILD RIDE - Dwight Yoakam, 1993;

"I have slept beside the winter and the green is growing slow
I have watched you find the places hidden by the snow
I have tripped into a valley that is blue till you can see
I want you to come walk this world with me
With the light in our eyes it's hard to see
Holding on and on 'til we believe
With the light in our eyes it's hard to see
I'm not touched but I'm aching to be
I want you to come walk this world with me..."
"Walk this world" is a song from Heather Nova.

"... Plant my feet on foreign soil
No return I crossed that mil some time ago
Cast my eyes on streets that shine
Reflect my image and I know I'm livin' on borrowed time
I'd sure like to feel
Dreams I chased so long ago
Weren't wasted miles on empty roads
I'd just like to believe
All these desperate cries I hear
Are falling on a sympathetic ear
In world of illusions
All you're left with is your changin' luch
Kisses and tears and unanswered questions
Just a child of chance with your changin' luck
Changin' luck..."

Olivia from princess to queen...
"I never was one for talk
I keep things to myself
Let everyone ramble on
When people get to reminiscing
I'll always be the one to listen
But now I need to find those missing words
I love Princess Olivia
Can't speak, I slip into trivia
To know what you feel inside
Is not enough, you've got
To put it across with style
The literati in their cellars
Perform semantic tarantellas
I wish I did it half as well as them
I love Princess Olivia
Can't speak, I slip into trivia
She's got long red hair
Her nose up in the clouds
Just how did she get up there
She's frosty as the face of Phineus
Leaves me feeling igloominious
Why's she so continuously cool?
I love Princess Olivia
Can't speak, I slip into trivia
I love her
She may be large..."

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.

Susie [DRAMAS]
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1972
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got frostbitten in the winter
Ice skating on the river
With my pretty little black-eyed girl
She'd make your darn toes curl just to see her
I got a fringe front on my buggy
I got a frisky little colt in a hurry
And a pretty little black-eyed Suzie by my side
Well she sure knows how to use me
Pretty little black-eyed Suzie
Playing hooky with my heart all the time
Living with her funky family
In a derelict old alley
Down by the river where we share a little loving in the moonshine
I'm an old hayseed harp player
I'm the hit of the county fair
With my pretty little black-eyed girl
Living proof as she swirls
She's a dancer

Blessed
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1995

Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed
I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed
And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You'll be blessed
I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed

"From this day on I own my father's gun
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
I laid his broken body down below the southern land
It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands
I'll take my horse and I'll ride the northern plain
To wear the colour of the greys and join the fight again
I'll not rest until I know the cause is fought and won
From this day on until I die I'll wear my father's gun..."

LONG TIME TILL I GET OVER YOU
Music & lyrics by Little Feat 1988
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baby what's wrong with you
Have to tell ya it seemed like we were through
And your memory's almost gone
Met this girl in New York City
That took the night train all the way from Buffalo
Just to see the midnight show
And every time I start to feelin' stronger
You call me up with just the right line
Keep me hangin' on a little longer
That's where I stumble every time
I keep thinkin' it'd be all right
Wondrin' when you'd come back home
Come to your senses girl and hold me tight
Love me like ya used to do
It's gonna be a long time till I get over you
I don't mind the lonely days so much
Can't take those long nights dreamin' bout your tender touch
Lyin' awake waitin' for the phone to ring
Got to my courage up
And find a way that I can cut you loose
But it don't seem to be no use
Got to tell ya every time I start to feelin' stronger
You call me up with just the right line
Keep me hangin' on a little longer
It get me every time
I keep thinkin' it'd be all right
Wondrin' when you'd come back home
Come to your senses girl and hold me tight
Love me like ya used to do
It's gonna be a long time till I get over you
Seem like every time I start to feelin' stronger
You call me up with just the right line
Keep me hangin' on a little longer
And don't it get me every time

Darling Pretty
Music & lyrics by Mark Knopfler 1997

It's time to come away, my darling pretty
It's time to come away on the changing tide
Time to come away, darling pretty
And I need you darling by my side
Heal me with a smile, darling pretty
Heal me with a smile and a heart of gold
Carry me awhile, my darling pretty
Heal my aching heart and soul
Just like a castaway
Lost upon an endless sea
I saw you far away
Come to rescue me
Cast away the chains, darling pretty
Cast away the chains away behind
Take away my pain, my darling pretty
And the chains that once were yours and mine
There will come a day, darling pretty
There will come a day when hearts can fly
Love will find a way, my darling pretty
Find a heaven for you and I
Love will find a way, my darling pretty
Find a heaven for you and I

"There's blood in the water
And they are coming to bring me down
What's hope with no savior
Yeah there is no one in this ghost town
She looked right through me
And I turned to stone
Medusa, Medusa
I've been here alone
And I crumble to pieces
My body, my weakness is on the floor
And the wind will blow and blow
And I won't be here no more
My wishing well has run dry
Stars are dying in the sky
So I shed my blood and tears
I'll show no fear just to survive
There's secrets and riddles that live in these walls
There's ghosts of past heroes and I hear them call my name..."

Well, look out the window
Never saw so much rain
You better get down to the station
If you want to catch that train
So long, I guess that's that
Hey, hey, don't forget your hat
Well, you don't call the action
You don't make the rules
You don't pay the piper
You don't even pay the fuel
So long, I guess that's that
Hey, hey, don't forget your hat
Well, it's a big old world out there
Go get it if you can
You got a ways to go
Before you get to be a man
So long, I guess that's that
Hey, hey, don't forget your hat

And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my exes live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
Rosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
And sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimples, who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for me..."

"London City lay quietly dreaming in the sun
To dream of the sea in the sun, around me
Where I went along the edges of the lawn
The trees were in the sun, they looked wonderful
And then along came you, Jennifer Jennings
And danced sweetly as spring passed
You came, Jennifer Jennings
And blue eyes that smiled at me
To me, only to me
You then took me through the city
Past the dreams you had, soft as they were
And since then my dreams have returned again and again
To all those dreams of yesteryear, of you and me
And then along comes you, Jenniffer Jennings
As fresh and playful as love, so happy
Because you, Jennifer Jennings
You are exactly what I dreamed for me
Yes, then you come, Jennifer Jennings
And blue eyes that smile at me
But you, Jennifer Jennings
You danced past me again and again
Beyond me, always beyond me

Expresso Love
Music & lyrics by Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler 1980
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She gets the sun in the daytime
Perfume in the dusk
And she comes out in the night time
With the honeysuckle musk
Because she smells just like a rose
And she tastes just like a peach
She got me walking the wildlife goes
I'd do anything to reach her
And she was made in heaven
Heaven's in the world
Is this just expresso love
You know I'm crazy for the girl
She call me just to talk
She's my lover she's a friend of mine
She says hey mister you wanna take a walk
In the wild west end sometime
And I get trouble with my breathing
She says boys don't know anything
But I know what I want
I want everything
Well I feel so good cos I feel so good
And I feel so good cos it feels so right
I was made to go with my girl
Like a saxophone was made to go with the night
And she can raise one eyebrow
Put her hand on my hip
And I close one eye now
Sweat on her lip
And I surrender to the fever
I surrender to the will of the night
She love me so tender I got to believe her
Love ? Expresso love's alright
I don't want no sugar in it
Thank you very much
All wired up on it all fired up on it
Expresso touch
Hey maestro expresso
It's just another one just like the other one
Hey maestro expresso
Is this another one just like the other one

Victim Of Love
Music & lyrics by The Eagles 1976
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What kind of love have you got?
You should be home, but you're not
A room full of noise and dangerous boys
still makes you thirsty and hot
I heard about you and that man
There's just one thing I don't understand
You say he's a liar and he put out
your fire
How come you still got his gun in your hand?
Victim of love , I see a broken heart
You got your stories to tell
Victim of love, it's such an easy part
and you know how to play it so well
Some people never come clean
I think you know what I mean
You're walkin' the wire, pain and desire
Looking for love in between
Tell me your secrets, I'll tell you mine
This ain't no time to be cool
And tell all your girlfriends,
Your "been around the world" friends
That talk is for losers and fools
Victim of love, I see a broken heart
I could be wrong, but I'm not, no I'm not
Victim of love, we're not so far apart
Show me, what kind of love have you got?
Victim of love, I see a broken heart
I could be wrong, but I'm not
Victim of love, we're not so far apart
What kind of love have you got?
Victim of love, you're just a victim of love
I could be wrong , but I'm not
Victim of love, now you're a victim of love
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got

Cold
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1995

You don't love him any more
He threw your rag doll out the door
I keep my distance, I held my breath
Love always ends up hanging by a thread
Love hurts so much
Love leaves a scar
'I don't love you' is like a stake
Being driven through your heart
But I don't care
I came back for you
Love is cruel, but I don't care
I wanted you, and I'm cold, cold, cold
You said don't cry to me
He said I'm a dead man if you leave
I have no feelings, I have no heart
Love always cuts out the warm and tender part
Love hurts so much
Love cuts so deep
It's a hot sweat and a cold shake
Like drowning in your sleep

Where's The Shoorah?
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1976
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She grows, she's grown like pampas
Tall in the wind
She's sinful and spiteful
She's all girl, woman and mother
She's had my children
And she's been my lover
No no no no no no she don't like to fight it
Once you've been bitten
You get excited
My mama she really likes her
She comes for coffee
And my mama asked me
So where's the shoorah she sang
You know I hear it again my friend
Where's the shoorah she came upon it
Waiting to sing her back
`Cause she likes to sing about
Where's the shoorah she sang
Over and over and over
Where's the shoorah she sang
