Yo no soy culpable, ni responsable por tanta confusión yo no te hice nada, es mi palabra palabra de ladrón de ladrón honrado, a quien le han robado la luz del corazón... y esta empezando a salir el sol
Uhh!! si estuvieras hoy aquí uhh!! yo podría vivir sin miedo a la oscuridad
Tu plan fue perfecto, yo fui electo mataste aquel que había en mí quemaste la evidencia, en tu conciencia y la enterraste en el jardín hiciste que parezca un accidente antes de huir... el sol esta empezando a salir
Uhh!! si estuvieras hoy aquí uhh!! yo podría vivir sin miedo a la oscuridad si acaso pudieras entender... yo podría vencer el miedo a la oscuridad...
Cuando te vi, te vi tan sola y yo me rendí... por miedo a la oscuridad yo me rendí... y tuve que amplificar el corazón para escuchar, escucharlo bien...
Tal vez me veas solo en la noche esperando el sol tal vez aquí de nuevo junto al fuego con un simulador...
Hay luces... luces en el mar... luces en el mar...
Uhh!! si estuvieras hoy aquí uhh!! yo podría vivir sin miedo a la oscuridad si acaso pudieras entender... yo podría vencer el miedo a la oscuridad...
Oriental "Some Day In Araby" Composer(s): Richard Coborn; Vincent Rose
Dreams of you and I Beneath the swaying palms of sunlit gardens Heart of mine, I sigh For just one glimpse of Araby
Neath a cloudless sky We'll roam the desert you and I together Golden hours that fly When dreams come true in Araby
Some day I will be back in Araby Land of mystery Ever dear to me Over desert sands Come love's sweet commands Eyes and lips and hands Tenderly call to me Araby
Es war Mitternacht, ich ging spazieren da bemerkte ich ein Finstermann mit 'm grossen Hut verfolgte mich und dann sprach er mich an schmatzend und mit knirschenden Zähnen "Ach, würden Sie wohl so freundlich sein und Ihre Blutgruppe mal erwähnen!"
Ich dachte mir, das ist 'n Vampir da muß man vorsichtig sein ich sagte: "Moment, ich guck' mal eben in meinen Ausweis rein" 0-Rhesus-Negativ. Da verzog er sein Gesicht und meinte: "So 'n Mist, ausgerechnet diese Sorte vertrag' ich nicht!"
Um ihn zu trösten, lud ich ihn ein auf ein Glas Bier doch er meinte, das wär' für ihn kein Plaisier "Es muß schon dieser rote Spezialsaft sein Es gibt nur ein Getränk, das find' ich gut, und das ist Blut!"
Wir unterhielten uns noch ganz prima über Klima, Gott und die Welt und er erzählte mir von seinem Vampirleben und daß es ihm gut gefällt er sagt': "Ich brauch' nicht zu malochen jeden Tag ins Büro zu laufen am Tag schlaf' ich in meinem Sarg und nachts geh' ich mich besaufen!"
Ja, wenn das so ist, möchte ich auch Vampir sein da sagt' er: "Reichen Sie doch mal 'n Antrag beim transsilvanischen Prüfamt ein dazu brauchen Sie aber vom Zahnarzt 'n Tauglichkeitsschein denn wenn die Beisser zu kurz sind kommen Sie nie rein in unseren Verein!"
Midnight Voyage Composer(s): John Phillips Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas
On a midnight voyage One that has no ending And it's sending me The things that I need
Far away from shore Further than I've been before But I feel the strength of the new sea
Dreams come and go And I sift through them Love starts to glow From the thoughts that I find within them
On a midnight voyage Searching for my pleasure Reaching with my mind for something I've dreamed
Loves come and go And I dream through them Dreams start to flow From the love that I find within them
On a midnight voyage One that has no ending And it's sending me Right into my mind
On a midnight voyage!
Come on let's take a midnight voyage Let me take you on a little trip Come on, come on Whoa-whoa-woah, come on Would you dare to take a little journey All aboard, all ashore At your leasure take a pleasure trip On shore, ashore Everybody needs a pleasure trip
Midnight Train To Georgia Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips
L.A. proved too much for the man So he's leavin' the life he's come to know He said he's goin' back to find Ooh, what's left of his world The world he left behind Not so long ago He's leaving On that midnight train to Georgia And he's goin' back To a simpler place and time And I'll be with him On that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in his world Than live without him in mine He kept dreamin' That someday he'd be a star But he sure found out the hard way That dreams don't always come true So he pawned all his hopes and he even sold his old car Bought a one way ticket To the life he once knew Oh yes he did He said he would Be leavin On that midnight train to Georgia And he's goin' back To a simpler place and time And I'll be with him On that midnight train to Georgia I'd rather live in his world Than live without him in mine Go, gonna board, gonna board Gonna board the midnight train Gotta go, gonna board Gonna board Gonna board the midnight train (repeat)

Ordinary People Composer(s): George Posford; Eric Maschwitz Performer(s): George Formby
You know Sally
when I was just a kid like all the others did I used to dream a out my life's ambition In turn I planned to be, aye, a sailor on the sea A crook, a boy scout or even a politician But here I am with all the dreams I've had An ordinary chap but still I'm glad
Ordinary people like you and me, happy and contented as we can be We can walk on air on our ordinary feet Strolling hand in hand along an ordinary street Ordinary people are we until, the ordinary time of day is through And when the ordinary moon - is in the ordinary sky What extraordinary things we'll do
I had my dreams as well, though they're not much to tell My schoolgirl head was filled with idle fancies! But most of all by far I longed to be a star The heroine of Hollywood romances! But here I am with nothing as I planned An ordinary girl and gee, it's grand!
Ordinary people like you and me, happy and contented as we can be We can walk on air on our ordinary feet Strolling hand in hand along an ordinary street Ordinary people are we until, the ordinary time of day is through And when the ordinary moon - is in the ordinary sky What extraordinary things we'll do What extraordinary things we'll do
Midnight Show Composer(s): Ron Dante; Gene Allan Performer(s): Ron Dante
The days will be lonely and the nights so long But don't you know they're playin' my song Got myself together and I'm due in L.A. It's killin' me to leave ya But I just can't stay
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show I've got to go Can't you see? Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show I love you so But they're callin' me
Don't cry for me, you'll make me cry too Be glad for me, it's all I wanna do It's what my life's about, it's all that I know Come lay beside me once more before I go
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show I've got to go Can't you see? Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show I love you so But they're callin' me
We had just a moment, still there's no time to spend I've got to see what happens, see it through to the end I'm torn between my music, girl, and my love for you Oh, I'd give the whole thing up now, if you asked me to Please don't ask me to
Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show I've got to go Can't you see? Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show I love you so But they're callin' me
Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show I've got to go Can't you see? Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show I love you so But they're callin' me ...
Ordinary Man Composer(s): Rik Emmett; Michael Levine; Gil Moore Performer(s): Triumph
Look in the mirror tell me what do you see Or can you lie to yourself like you're lyin' to me Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night You want to think you're different, but you know you never can You're just another ordinary man
Hey politician, can't believe a word you say Almighty media, whose truth d'you sell today? Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you? Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to? The more I get to see, the less I understand I'm just another ordinary man
Chorus: Ordinary man Comes a time to take a stand
No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman Everybody plays the game they played since time began Lawyers and accountant - your media man
Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head I see the flash of lightnin' I hear the thunder roll A hungry knive, a slice of life It cuts another soul
Power finds a way to those who take a stand Stand up ordinary man
Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free But now I feel the chains of its responsibility I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith I'm just the same as you I just do the best I can That's the only answer ... for an ordinary man
Chorus
No such thing as easy answers You play to win and you take your chances
Chorus
Here's to health, here's to wealth May you never doubt yourself
Midnight Rocks Composer(s): Al Stewart; Peter White Performer(s): Al Stewart
You say with best intention Let's throw away convention Set sail across the water To find the tides of fortune I say please understand it Don't let our love be stranded Upon the midnight rocks Upon the midnight rocks
You say there's no endeavour We couldn't try together No storm we couldn't weather We'll ride the wind forever I hear the words you've spoken Don't let our love be broken Upon the midnight rocks Upon the midnight rocks
Ah, you know you know it's easy Ah, to let it go believe me Ah, you know, you know you feel it Ah, don't lose it when you need it
I know that fascination With living each sensation In your imagination There is no hesitation I know your mind is turning Don't let our love lie burning Upon the midnight rocks Upon the midnight rocks
I know that fascination With living each sensation In your imagination There is no hesitation I say please understand it Don't let our love be stranded Upon the midnight rocks
Midnight Rider Composer(s): Gregg Allman; Robert Payne Originally performed by: The Allman Brothers Band Covered by various other artists
Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding And I'm bound to keep on riding And I've got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing And the road goes on forever And I've got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
And I've gone by the point of caring Some old bed I'll soon be sharing And I've got one more silver dollar
(Repeat three times) But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider

Orchard Road Composer(s): Leo Sayer; Alan Tarney Performer(s): Leo Sayer
To tell the truth it's really such a sad affair Standing here waiting in the cold night air But I've got to make this call 'Cause my heart is breaking
I hear the bips drop a coin in the slot Has it been that long I thought you'd forgotten me Well I know that it's getting late But I just couldn't wait
Will I have the nerve to say I just wanna come back You shouldn't just go away I just wanna come back
I've been struck by such a bad luck I need a place a little happiness and some love I think I can see it now Now let me paint the picture
It's twelve o'clock and the curtains are drawn They're counting sheep down in orchard road You're hanging on the telephone line tonight And I wish I could be in orchard road
Not much been happening here I think I've got a job They're gonna call me next week And I'll be working out of town But it sure beats hanging around
What's that? Tomorrow at two You're kidding me -- No Is it allright with you I don't know what to say It'll be like a holiday
When you say you're all alone Makes me wanna come back And this house is not a home I just gotta go back
It's twelve ten when I put down the phone The moon's shining down on orchard road And I'm feeling like a schoolboy again and tonight I'll see you in my dreams of orchard road
It's funny but I thought I'd never go back I think sometimes I might loose track But I remember you and the things we do And I want it back
In orchard road you've got my heart I left it in your doorway In orchard road a welcome back Is waiting there just for me In orchard road the sun will shine Again I know, I know In orchard road you keep my love Just waiting there for me
It's eight o'clock and the dawn's arrived In orchard road it's breakfast time I climb in my car and I turn the key and I'm gone I am coming home To Orchard Road
