Hi Munchkin!


Delta Dawn
Helen Reddy


CHORUS
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
'cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her for his bride

CHORUS

Slow Dancing (Swaying to the Music)
Johnny Rivers


It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music on the radio
No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone
Just me and you and the lights down low
And we're

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

And we just flow together when the lights are low
And shadows dancing across the wall
The music's playing so soft and slow
And the rest of the world so far away and small
And we're

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

Hold me, hold me
Don't ever let me go

As we dance together in the dark
There's so much love in this heart of mine
You whisper to me and I hold you tight
You're the one I thought I'd never find

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

Blues In The Night
Cab Calloway


My mamma done tol' me,
When I was in knee pants,
My mamma done tol' me, "Son!
A woman'll sweet talk, and give ya the big eye,
But when the sweet talkin's done,
A woman's a two-face,
A worrisome thing who'll leave ya t' sing
The blues in the night"

Now the rain's a-fallin'
Hear the train a-callin' "whoo-ee"!
(My mamma done tol' me.)
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin 'cross the trestle, "whooee,"
(My mamma done tol' me.)
A whooee-a-whooee,
Ol' clickety clack's a-echo-in' back the blues in the night
(Hum---)
My mamma was right, there's blues in the night

hi sloww and bo!

Thoughtless by KoRn

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
I wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the **** you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger
And you're down, down, down

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the **** you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

All my friends are gone, they died (gonna take you down)
They all screamed, and cried (gonna take you down)

I'm never (?) back against the wall
Gonna take you down

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Light from a Dead Star by Lush

He lives his life in a world full of women
And he takes what he wants from their love
And he throws the rest away
I cling to him and pray
But still he slips away
And now it's just too late
To wish him back again

She won't put up with this life so she leaves him
And she finds someone else, falls in love
And she travels far away
I say that it's ok
And swallow all my pain
And now it's just too late
To wish her back again

They left me here on my own in a nightmare
And I just can't forgive any more
So I smile and turn away
Don't listen when they say
They wish that I could stay
And now it's just too late
To wish me back again

Weary Life - Linda Thompson/Teddy Thompson

When I was single I used a powderpuff.
But now that I'm married I just haven't got the stuff.

It's a life, a life, a weary old life.

When we were courting you swooned down at my feet.
But now that we're wed I can't get you up off your feet.

It's a life, a life, a weary old life.
It's better to be single than be a married wife.
It's a life, a life, a weary old life.

One's crying "Mammy, take me out of my pram".
And one's crying "Mammy, give me some more bread and jam".

It's a life, a life, a weary old life.

And you want a young girl to carry you off into bed.
But you still need me to scratch your wooden leg.

It's a life, a life, a weary old life .
It's better to be single than be a married wife.
It's a life, a life, a weary old life.

Let's get out of this while we've still got all of our bits.
I'll take a fast car and you can take the kids.

It's a life, a life, a weary old life.

When I was pretty how I could sport and play.
Now that I'm not, sure I couldn't give it away.

It's a life, a life, a weary old life.
It's better to be single than be a married wife.
It's a life, a life, a weary old life.
It's a life, a life, a weary old life.


No Telling - Linda Thompson

He came in the ballroom just a crazy old man.
His eyes seemed to glaze in the light.
Just some old hawker, to judge by his rags.
Come in from the cold of the night.

The whole room was dancing, They payed him no mind
As he slipped to the bar and said "Please be so kind".
And the music kept ringing in the back of his mind.
No telling what a love song will do.

As the queen of the ballroom sang her favourite song
He stood with a glass in his hand.
He was weary of living the days of his life.
And tonight was the last he could stand.

He'd shut out out the future,
He'd shut out he past
And even the present was running out fast.
As the queen of the ballroom said "Make this the last"
No telling what a love song will do.

As she started to sing for the very last time
He trembled as he stood there alone.
And the pain he'd been holding inside for so long
Just fell from his heart and was gone.

It was only a love song, simple and clear
But he bowed as it shook him with every last tear
And he cried from relief and he cried half from fear
No telling what a love song will do.

Oh the queen of the ballroom still glitters and shines
Each night at the Old Times Sake.
And maybe it's something they put in the wine
But her beauty refuses to fade.

I think she got married.
To a stranger, they say.
Just a crazy old man who came passing one day.
And the whole town still dances
And the music still plays.
No telling what a love song will do.
No telling what a love song will do.

Rush

-Resist

I can learn to resist
anything but temptation
i can learn to co-exist
with anything but pain

i can learn to compromise
anything but my desires
i can learn to get along
with all the things i can't explain

i can learn to resist
anything but frustration
i can learn to persist
with anything but aiming low

i can learn to close my eyes
to anything but injustice
i can learn to get along
with all the thing i don't know

you can surrender
without a prayer
but never really pray
without surrender

you can fight
without ever winning
but never ever win
without a fight

[Clear Skies]

If this song doesn't make you cry, I'll pay you a fiver.

Jenny and Alex Legg - Not Enough Dreams To Go Round

We were dying to know what went on behind doors
Behind neighbourhood curtains and neighbourhood walls
And we shared every secret revealed to us all through the town
We firmly believed in a life after childhood
Where promise today was the fruit of tomorrow
We were too many children and not enough dreams to go round

Do you remember the days of the promise of summer?
Colds and chilblains and soaking wet winters?
Susie and Charlie who stayed when their mother broke down
Those brown Autumn evenings baiting the winos
Letting the dogs loose, ringing on doorbells
Sharing the fear of each sparkling adventure we found

Crazy Mary who died after
Catching her dragon
Billy Tom broke his back
When his bike hit a wagon
We were too many children and
Not enough dreams to go round

Some of us lived, some of us died
Some of us disappeared forever, taken by the ebbing tide
Some of us lost, some of us found
That were too many children and
Not enough dreams to go round

Some of us laughed, some of us cried
Some of us fell in love and married
Some were faithful, others lied
And some went up, and some went down
But we were
Too many children and not enough dreams to go round

[SlowwHand]

Hey Big Brother
Rare Earth
(Dino Fekaris and Nick Zesses)

(Chorus)
Hey big brother,
as soon as you arrive,
you better get in touch with the people, big brother,
and get them on your side, big brother,
and keep them satisfied.

Welcome to the beat of the city street,
walk on now and don't be shy.
Take a closer look at the people you meet,
and notice the fear in their eyes,
watching the time passing by.

(Chorus)

Focus your eye on the filthy sky,
just as far as you can see.
Everybody's gettin' kind of tired of waitin'
cos' nobody wants to cry,
and nobody wants to die.

(Chorus)

Now that you got the picture,
what you gonna do?
Now that you got the picture,
what you gonna do?

[devilmunchkin]

Epiphany by Staind

Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear.

Oh
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said.

So I speak to you in riddles
'Cause my words get in my way.
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away.
'Cause I can't take anymore of this
I wanna come apart,
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart.

Oh
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Oh
Forget all the things I should have said.

I am nothing more than
a little boy inside
That cries out for attention,
Yet I always try to hide.
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed.

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said.

Wait and Bleed by Slipknot - oldie but goodie

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

GOODBYE!

I wipe it off my tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3-D flash for me
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I can't control my shakes!
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

GET OUTTA MY HEAD CUZ I DON'T NEED THIS!
Why didn't I see this?
I'm a victim--Manchurian Candidate
I-AM-SINNED-BY-JUST
Makin' my mind up and takin your breath away

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

GOODBYE!

You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
The flesh was in my bones
The pain is always free

You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
The flesh was in my bones
The pain is always free

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

AND IT WAITS FOR YOU!!!

Keep Fishin' by Weezer

You'll never be
A better Kind
If you don't
Leave the world behind

Waste my days,
Drown aways
It's just the thought of you
In love with someone else
It breaks my heart to see you hangin' from your shelf

You'll never do
The things you want
If you don't move
And get a job

Waste my days
Drown aways
It's just the thought of you
In love with someone else
It breaks my heart
To see you hangin' from a shelf

Oh girl
When I'm in love
With you
Keep fishin'
If you feel it's true
There's nothing mucht that we can do
To save you from yourself

Waste my days
Drown aways
It's just the thought of you
In love with someone else
It breaks my heart
To see you hangin' from a shelf

Oh girl
When I'm in love with you
Keep Fishin'
If you feel it's true
There's nothing much that we can do to
Save you from Yourself

You'll never be
A better king
You'll never be
A better Kind
whoa ohh...
whoa ohh...
(Waste my days...
Waste my days...)

"hi munchkin ,nice to have you back "


Sting

After The Rain Has Fallen


The palace guards are all sleeping
Their fires burn into the night
There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon
And all that’s left is a quarter moon of light

He climbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise
The greatest thief in the high Sahara
Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies

All your money, your pretty necklace
This is my work on such a night
There's a storm coming over the mountain
I'll be gone long before the morning

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You find that I've taken nothing that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

He was as gentle as the night wind
As no lover had been before
And the rings she wore for her bridegroom
Slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor

Take me with you, take me with you
Before my lonely life is set
I've been promised to another
To a man I've never even met

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You'll find that I’ve taken nothing that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye
After the thunder's spoken and
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
After the dream is broken
There’ll still be love in the world

She said take me to another life
Take me for a pirate’s wife
Take me where the wind blows
Take me where the red wine flows
Take me to the danger
Take me to the life of crime
Take me to the stars
Take me to the moon while we still have time

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You'll find that I've taken nothing that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

After the thunder's spoken and
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
After the dream is broken
There’ll still be love in the world
Still be love in the world

Summer Rain
Belinda Carlisle

Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him saying
Nothing will change
Come dancing with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain on our skin
And his kisses hotter than the
Santa Ana winds
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain

I remember laughing til we almost cried
(There at station that night)
I remember looking in his eyes

Oh my love, it's you and that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Doesn't matter what I do now
Doesn't matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

I can hear the whistle
Military train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can here him singing
Ooh "Love Is Strange"
Come dance with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain pouring down
And we poured our hearts out
As the train pulled out
I can see my baby
Waving from the train
It was last time that I saw him
In the summer rain

Every time I see the lightening
Every time I hear the thunder
Every time I close the window
When this happens in the summer
Oh the night is so inviting
I can feel that you are so close
I can feel you when the wind blows
Blows right through my heart

Every night and every day now
Though I know you've gone away
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

[SlowwHand]

Burning Down The House
Talking Heads

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

My house S'out of the ordinary
That's might Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire

[boann]

"You're Still The One"
Shania Twain

(When I first saw you, I saw love.
And the first time you touched me, I felt love.
And after all this time, you're still the one I love.)

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

Bridge:
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

Chorus:
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missn'

Bridge

Chorus

Chorus

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby

Goodbye Earl
Dixie Chicks

Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H Club
Both active in the FFA
After graduation Mary Anne went out lookin'
for a brand new world
Wanda looked all around this town
and all she found was Earl

Well it wasn't two weeks
after she got married that
Wanda started getting abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And make-up to cover a bruise
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care

Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight

She held Wanda's hand as they
worked out a plan
And it didn't take 'em long to decide

That Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted all right to me Earl
You're feelin' weak
Why don't you lay down
and sleep Earl
Ain't it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl?

The cops came by to bring Earl in
They searched the house
high and low
Then they tipped their hats
and said, "thank you ladies
if you hear from him let us know"

Well the weeks went by and
Spring turned to Summer
And Summer faded into Fall
And it turns out he was a missing person
who nobody missed at all

So the girls bought some land
and a roadside stand
out on Highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham
and strawberry jam
and they don't
lose any sleep at night 'cause

Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl
We need a break
Let's go out to the lake Earl
We'll pack a lunch
And stuff you in the trunk Earl
Well is that all right
Good Let's go for a ride
Earl hey

(The Dixie Chicks do not advocate premeditated murder, but love getting even.)

Two For Tuesday; Manfred Mann

SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT


Crazy Janey and her mission man
Were back in the alley tradin hands
Long came Wild Billy with his friend
G-Man all duded up for Saturday night
Well, Billy slammed on his coaster brakes
And said, "anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake?"
It's about a mile down on the dark side of Route 88
I got a bottle of Rose, so let's try it
We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe
And I'll take you all out to where the Gypsy angels go
They're built like light and they dance like spirits in the night
(All night) in the night (all night)
Oh you don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night (all night)
In the night (all night)
Stand right up now and let them shoot through you
Well now, Wild Billy was a crazy cat
And he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap
He said, "trust some of this, it'll show you where it's at
Or at least it'll really help you feel it"
By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake
I had my head out the window
And Janey's fingers were in the cake
I think I really dug her cause I was too loose to fake
I said, "I'm hurt." She said, "Honey, let me heal it."
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
She felt so nice, just as soft as a spirit in the night
(All night) in the night (all night)
Janey don't know what she do to you
Spirit in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand right up and let her shoot through me
Now the night was bright and the stars
Threw light on Billy and Davy dancin in the moonlight
They were down near the water in a stone mud fight
Killer Joe gone passed out on the lawn
Well now, Hazy Davy got really hurt,
He ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt
Me and crazy Janey was makin love in the dirt
Singin our birthday song
Janey said it ws time to go so we closed our eyes
And said goodbye to Gypsy Angel Row,
Felt so right together we moved like spirits in the night (all night)

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

IF YOU GOTTA GO, GO NOW


Listen to me, baby
I'm trying to make you see
That I want to be with you, girl
If you want to be with me

CHORUS:
But if you gotta go
Well, it's all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

I am just a poor boy, baby
Trying to connect
But I don't want you thinkin'
Oh that I ain't got any respect

(chorus)

Now I'm not trying to question you
To take part in any quiz
It's just that I don't have a watch
& you keep askin' me what time it is

(chorus)

Now I don't want to make you give anything you never gave before
It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon; it'll be too dark for you to find the door

(chorus)
