"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.... "
CANDY BY THE POUND - Music & lyrics Elton John & Bernie Taupin, 1985.

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

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..."

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
A face in the crowd
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..."

You can beat her but don't mistreat her

Turn you into little toys
Don't trust that woman

'Cause she'll hurt you
And turn you into little toys
Don't trust that woman boys
She's a man-eater, oh don't you cheat her
She'll cut you just to watch you bleed
A woman half crazy, oh then again lazy
With an appetite to feed
She's a liar oh you can't buy her
'Cause she'll bring you down to your knees
Don't untie her, don't defy her
Oh don't believe that woman please

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

Keep the vampires from your door

And she was made in heaven
Heaven's in the world

She call me just to talk

In the wild west end sometime?"
And I get trouble with my breathing

But I know what I want
Yes, I want everything
'Cause she was made in heaven

Yes, heaven's in the world

See I'm 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
Just crazy for the girl
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 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

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

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
