"Well I'm keeping off the streets since you came to town

Since you claimed my heart from the lost and found

I have said goodbye to my fooling around

Now you and me babe we got candy by the pound

You and me babe we got candy by the pound

 

Well I never knew it could feel so good

Be the king of the hill in my neighbourhood

Rain on my roof what a sweet sound

Oh with you underneath it's like candy by the pound

With you underneath it's like candy by the pound

 

You can tell everybody that this girl of mine

Is sweeter than the grapes hanging from the vine

Love like wine honey drinking till I drown

Keep it coming baby like candy by the pound

 

Oh no what's come over me

If I am dreaming then let me sleep

Oh wow I'm heaven bound

Love is getting sweeter than candy by the pound.... "

GOLDEN HEART

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Night In Summer Long Ago

Music & lyrics by Mark Knopfler 1997

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My lady may I have this dance

Forgive a knight who knows no shame

My lady may I have this dance

And lady may I know your name

You danced upon a soldier's arm

And I felt the blade of love so clean

And when you smiled you did me harm

And I was drawn to you, my queen

 

Now these boots may take me where they will

Though they may never shine like his

There is no knight I would not kill

To have my lady's hand to kiss

Yes and they did take me through the hall

To leave me not one breath from you

And they fell silent one and all

And you could see my heart was true

 

Then I did lead you from the hall

And we did ride upon the hill

Away beyond the city wall

And sure you are my lady still

A night in summer long ago

The stars were falling from the sky

And still, my heart, I have to know

Why do you love me, lady, why?

"You'll find me in a Berlin bar in a corner, brooding

You know that I go very quiet when I'm listening to you

There's something special indeed

There's something special indeed

 

In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy

Something very real in how I feel, honey

 

It's in me

It's in me

And you know it's for real

Tuning in on your saxophone

 

The candle burning over your shoulder is throwing

Shadows from your saxophone, a surly lady in tremor

The stars that climb from her bowels

Those stars make towers on vowels

 

You'll never see that you had all of me

You'll never see the poetry you've stirred in me

Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly

Never known or felt in myself so rightly

 

It's in me

It's in me

And you know it's for real

Tuning in on your saxophone..."

YOU'RE IN MY HEART The Final Acclaim

Music & lyrics by Rod Stewart 1977

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't know what day it was

when you walked into the room

I said hello unnoticed

You said goodbye too soon

 

Breezing through the clientele

spinning yarns that were so lyrical

I really must confess right here

the attraction was purely physical

 

I took all those habits of yours

that in the beginning were hard to accept

Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints

I put down to experience

 

The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent

who tried to change my point of view

Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed

but my heart cried out for you

 

You're in my heart, you're in my soul

You'll be my breath should I grow old

You are my lover, you're my best friend

You're in my soul

 

My love for you is immeasurable

My respect for you immense

You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness

You're beauty and elegance

 

You're a rhapsody, a comedy

You're a symphony and a play

You're every love song ever written

But honey what do you see in me

 

You're an essay in glamour

Please pardon the grammar

but you're every schoolboy's dream

You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided

You're the best team I've ever seen

 

And there have been many affairs

Many times I've thought to leave

But I bite my lip and turn around

'cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found

CRUCIFY

Music & lyrics by Tori Amos

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every finger in the room

is pointing at me

I wanna spit in their faces

Then I get afraid of what that could bring

I got a bowling ball in my stomach

I got a desert in my mouth

Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Just what God needs

One more victim

 

Why do we

Crucify ourselves

Every day

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

Crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being

And my heart is sick of being in chains

 

Got a kick for a dog

Beggin' for Love

I gotta have my suffering

So that I can have my cross

I know a cat named Easter

He says will you ever learn

You're just an empty cage girl

If you kill the bird

 

Why do we

Crucify ourselves

Every day

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

Crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being

And my heart is sick of being in chains

 

Please be

Save me

I

 

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Where are the angels when you need them

 

Why do we

Crucify ourselves

Every day

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

Crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being

And my heart is sick of being in chains

DID ANYBODY SLEEP WITH JOAN OF ARC

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 2002

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

At seventeen, she became the queen of Orleans

A peasant child guided by a vivid dream

She was cool before they knew what cool became

She cut her hair and cross-dressed in a dangerous age

  

She set a trend, a natural look was all the rage

Imagine if they'd had merchandise and poster sales

This bride of God, bigger than Elvis in her day

She had it all until they burned it all away

 

She swung a sword

She rode a horse

She wore her armor for the Lord

But did she cry by candlelight

Was she lonely after dark

Did she pray for something more

Did anybody sleep with Joan Of Arc

  

She was small and more or less of common breed

But saint aside, no stranger to a woman's needs

No handsome knights, no random acts of chivalry

Her bed remained a simple place for her to sleep

  

They burned her down for her belief

They burned her down for her faith

They gave her up into the flames

Proclaiming she'd seen heaven's face

 

Did anybody sleep with Joan of Arc

"For there's more ways than one..."

House Of Cards

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1975

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hear tell some playboy has kidnapped your heart

With his plane and his plans for games after dark

Just a pain in his pocket, and the price of a room

Where the second hand sheets smell of stale perfume

 

If there's sharks in the water, don't swim where it's deep

For the taste of success can be bitter and sweet

It could be you're right that I act like a child

But you'll be the loser when the jokers run wild

 

You're just playing the game, but the stakes are too high

What will you do when the chips start to fly

When the deck's stacked against you, and the living gets hard

Oh it's four walls of madness in this house of cards

 

Common you call me, but I know there's time

In a handful of diamonds, a heart's hard to find

And your house of cards starts weighing you down

Your nights become restless when the clubs start to pound

Since God Invented Girls

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1988

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The mother of invention made it good for me

Tighter in the rear

Longer in the seam

Kicked out yards of leather

Wrapped around her waist

Trimmed it to perfection

And left a little space

 

Yeah they got competition now

All across the world

But there ain't been no looking back

Since God invented girls

 

Now I know what Brian Wilson meant

Every time I step outside

I see what Heaven sent

There may be seven wonders

Created for this world

But one is all we need

Since God invented girls

 

Higher on the heel, paler than pure cream

Leaner on the sidewalk

Cutting through the steam

After claws and feathers

He took skin and bone

Shaped it like an hourglass

And made the angels moan

 

Oh here's a little heat boys

To straighten out them curls

Now there ain't been no angels round

Since God invented girls

"...... So stop in the sky and tell me why

You're changing your colours before my eyes

Yellow, blue, green and grey

Settled on the window pane

 

It made the rain that came seem strange

Just like strange rain

It made the rain that came seem strange

Just like strange rain

 

Still I sit beside the fire and watched as it fell

Come in colours from above into my citadel

My eyes are all embriodered with the rainbow you have made

And now it seems as though it's just, just like strange rain....."

Blonde Over Blue

Music & lyrics by Billy Joel 1993

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Some days, when I'm far away

In a lonely room in a cold seclusion

Some nights when I'm wound so tight

There is no release, there is no solution

In hell, there's a big hotel

Where the bar just closed and the windows never opened

 

No phone, so you can't call home,

And the TV works, but the clicker is broken

But, in the darkness, I see your light turned on

You know my weakness, you know how I respond to...

 

Blonde over blue

Your hands are cold, your eyes are fire

Blonde over blue

They shine as though you're burning inside

One word from you is all I need to be inspired

Blonde over blue

I need your inspiration tonight

 

These days, there's a million ways

To be pulled and torn, to be misdirected

These times, there are sins and crimes

On the morning shows for the disconnected

 

I look, and I write my book,

And I walk away with the wrong impressions

Don't care 'cause I've done my share,

And I need some time for my own obsessions

It doesn't matter, I've let that life go by

It's been forgotten 'cause all I wanted was you

 

Blonde over blue

Your hands are cold, your eyes are fire

Blonde over blue

They shine as though you're burning inside

One word from you is all I need to be inspired

Blonde over blue

I need your inspiration tonight

 

These days, not a damn soul prays,

And there is no faith 'cause there's nothing to believe in

These days, only good luck pays

If we don't get paid, then we try to get even

 

I look, and I write my book,

And I have my say, and I draw conclusions

Some nights when I'm wound so tight

There is no release, there is no solution

But, in the darkness, I see your light turned on

You know my weakness, you know how I respond to...

"Getting to know other contents and forms of thought, that is where the story lies in a smile of the Buddha....

 

"Now everybody has a right to be living their lives

Oh, but we're a long long way, a long way from paradise

If there is freedom, tell me why everybody wants to fight?

Cause we're a long long way, a long way from paradise

You might be strong enough

You might be rich enough

You might be blind enough

To push it all aside

No matter what you do

It keeps coming back to me and you

 

Give a little bit of love and you get it back

Give a little bit of pain, you're caught in a trap

For every little thing that you say or do

Give a little bit of love and it'll come back to you

 

You got your reasons but are you sure they're reasons to be right?

Oh, cause we're a long, long way, a long way from paradise

Don't let your anger or your fear become your suicide

Oh, cause we're a long, long way, a long way from paradise

We must be strong enough

We must be great enough

We've waited long enough

Now it's time to say goodbye -

We've got some rules to burn

So many lessons to be learned

Give a little bit of love and you get it back

Give a little bit of pain, you're caught in a trap

For every little thing that you say or do

Give a little bit of love and it'll come back to you

 

Now I believe in peace and harmony

You've got to believe in love before you can be free

So take a hand, everybody make a friend

I want you to believe in love

Like I believe

 

Every little thing that you say or do

Give a little bit of love and it will come back to you..."

"Oh Jessie I'd like to be

One of those men upon the screen

With an elegant lady and a cafe in Paris

Serving Pernot and Kalua with cream

 

You can see it I know

All the doors have been closed in my face

And the drinks at the Casbah

Run a mile or more from this place

 

And oh Jessie won't you look at the planes

Tell me, oh Jessie, is it true what they say

That there's a capital G in the name of the game

And the runway's a home for my silver-grey planes

 

And won't you look at the planes

Riding down the skyway

Jessie ain't those wings just fine

Don't it make you want to fly someday

Why friend am I so still

Tied to my job with time to kill

Do I still bear the traces of old Don Quixote

Tilting giants on imaginary hills...."

When A Woman Doesn't Want You

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1992

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She may be lost

She may be out of bounds

All her tenderness and charms could be something

A man like me has never found

But in her woman's way

She's still a little girl

The things that she wants, the things that she needs

Oh well the choice is hers

  

`Cause you can't take a woman

When she doesn't want you

And you can't be a man

If you're blind to reason

Man might be strong

But true love is stronger

You gotta play it straight

When a woman doesn't want you

  

Her voice invites

Her eyes say more than words

But her needs and complications

Can tear away the memory of last night's girl

And if you're weak

Yeah we're all weak sometime

The best things can wait

The best times they come

Oh when strength is kind

  

And if you can't read her

Leave her alone

And if you don't know by now

She's not someone's prize

And you can't take her home

A Word In Spanish

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1988

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know why

I just know I do

I just can't explain

In this language that I use

Something leaves me speechless

Each time that you approach

Each time you glide right through me

As if I was a ghost

  

If I only could tell you

If you only would listen

I've got a line or two to use on you

I've got a romance we could christen

  

And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand

But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man

He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere

And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears

A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish

  

If you can't comprehend

Read it in my eyes

If you don't understand it's love

In a thin disguise

And what it takes to move you

Each time that you resist

Is more than just a pretty face

To prove that I exist

  

When manners make no difference

And my gifts all lay undone

I trade my accent in on chance

And fall back on a foreign tongue

In another place, another town,

You were just a face in the crowd

Out in the street, walking around

Out of a dream, out of the sky

Into my heart, into my life

And you were just a face in the crowd

Out in the street, thinking out loud

A face in the crowd..."

THE POWER OF LOVE

By Frankie Goes To Hollywood

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll protect you from the hooded claw

Keep the vampires from your door

 

Feels like fire

I'm so in love with you

Dreams are like angels

They keep bad at bay-bad at bay

Love is the light

Scaring darkness away-yeah

 

I'm so in love with you

Purge the soul

Make love your goal

 

*The power of love

A force from above

Cleaning my soul

Flame on burn desire

Love with tongues of fire

Purge the soul

Make love your goal

 

I'll protect you from the hooded claw

Keep the vampires from your door

When the chips are down I'll be around

With my undying, death-defying

Love for you

 

Envy will hurt itself

Let yourself be beautiful

Sparkling love, flowers

And pearls and pretty girls

Love is like an energy

Rushin' rushin' inside of me

 

This time we go sublime

Lovers entwine-divine divine

Love is danger, love is pleasure

Love is pure-the only treasure

 

I'm so in love with you

Purge the soul

Make love your goal

 

The power of love

A force from above

Cleaning my soul

The power of love

A force from above

A sky-scraping dove

 

Flame on burn desire

Love with tongues of fire

Purge the soul

Make love your goal

 

I'll protect you from the hooded claw

Keep the vampires from your door

Now I can talk to you serious

I can talk to you nice

But when it comes to love

You won't take good advice

 

It doesn't matter what I say

What I do or what I think

You can lead a horse to water

You can't make him drink..."

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 where the wildlife goes

I'd do anything to reach her

 

And she was made in heaven

Heaven's in the world

Oh she was made in heaven

Heaven's in the world

Is this just expresso love

You know I'm crazy for the girl

Just 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

When she says boys don't know anything

But I know what I want

Yes, I want everything

 

'Cause she was made in heaven

And heaven's in the world

Oh she was made in heaven

Yes, heaven's in the world

Is this just expresso love

See I'm crazy for the girl

Just crazy for the girl

 

Well I feel so good because I feel so good

And I feel so good because it feels so right

I was made to go with my girl

Just 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

Oh and I surrender to the fever

And I surrender to the will of the night

She love me so tender I got to believe her

Love? Expresso love's alright now

 

'Cause she was made in heaven

And heaven's in the world

Oh she was made in heaven

Yes, heaven's in the world

Is this just expresso love

Know I'm crazy for the girl

Expresso touch

Hey maestro, expresso now

Hey maestro, she said expresso now

It's just another one, just like the other one

It's just another one, just like the other one oh one

Hey maestro, expresso now

I said hey maestro, expresso

I need another one...."

The Saxophone Song

Music & lyrics by Kate Bush

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll find me in a Berlin bar

In a corner brooding

You know that I go very quiet

When I'm listening to you.

 

There's something special indeed

There's something special indeed

In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy

There's something very real in how I feel, honey

 

It's in me

It's in me

And you know it's for real

Tuning in on your saxophone

 

Dah-bah-dah-bah-doo

 

The candle burning over your shoulder is throwing

Shadows on your saxophone, a surly lady in tremor

The stars that climb from her bowels

Those stars make towers on vowels

 

You'll never see that you had all of me

You'll never see the poetry you've stirred in me

Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly

I've never known or felt in myself so rightly

 

It's in me

It's in me

And you know it's for real

Tuning in on your saxophone

Dah-bah-dah-bah-doo

Expresso Love

Music & lyrics by Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
