The Sailor's Hornpipe
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall
Performer(s): Vivian Stanshall



The hallway

From outside, an ordinary house
A great house, true - four hundred and eighty three rooms
each one with its own marble wash basin and douche, bidet as it may
But inside, and the positions are reversed
A human failing, some say a disease
but a disease that Sir Francis Dashwood knew, and knew it well

Upstairs, inside and a revelation
It's a discotheque
No, no, uh... there are paintings, real
and look here - a rare seventeenth century masterpiece
and if I can scrape a little of it off
beneath I can find hidden a fourteenth century underpiece

Made entirely of tiny pieces of eggshells
this lurid work has caused controversy in the world of embroidery and anthropologicky
No, I'll say it again, anthropolology
Umm... no quite possibly make an anthropol, no, uh, I mean an apolog... ph...
It has enthralled distinguished professors
and in layman's language is "blinking well baffling"

But to be more obtusely, "buggered if I know" 
Yes, "buggered if I know" 
And that's all we've gleaned so far from experts in fourteenth century painting
renaissance, greengrocers, and recently revived members of the public
Buggered if I know

Cloud Nine
Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman J. Whitfield
Originally performed by: The Temptations
Covered by various other artists



Childhood part of my life it wasn't very pretty 
You see I was born and raised in the slums of the city 
It was a one-room shack that slept
Ten other children besides me
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep
It was hard times needed something 
To ease my troubled mind
Listen my father didn't know the meaning of work
He disrespected momma and treated us like dirt
I left home seeking a job that I never did find
Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud 9
I'm doing fine up here on cloud 9
Listen one more time I'm doing fine up here on cloud 9

Folks down there tell me
They say give yourself a chance, son
Don't let life pass you by 
But the world of reality is a rat race 
Where only the strongest survive
It's a dog eat dog world
And that ain't no lie
Listen it ain't even safe no more
To walk the streets at night

I'm doing fine on cloud 9
Let me tell you about cloud 9
Cloud 9, you can be what you wanna be 
You ain't got no responsibility 
And every man, every man is free
And you're a million miles from reality 
I wanna say I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Up here on cloud 9
I'm riding high on cloud 9
You're as free as a bird in flight
There's no difference between day and night
It's a world of love and harmony 
You're a million miles from reality, cloud 9

Rêver
Composer(s): René Rouzaud;
Rachel Thoreau; Guy Luypaerts
Performer(s): Lucienne Boyer



{Refrain:}
Rêver de toi, la nuit, le jour
Rêver toujours, au fil des heures
Jeter au ciel des mots d'amour
Crier ma peine au vent qui pleure
Imaginer qu'une présence
Se penche sur mon chagrin
Que tout recommence
Comme une romance
Flaner tout seul sur les chemins où nous allions jadis ensemble
Croire un instant que c'est ta main qui prend ma main, ma main qui tremble
Ecouter les harpes du temps qui fuit
Voir comme une écharpe, tomber la nuit
Rêver toujours
Rêver de toi
Rêver d'amour

Ainsi rien qu'en fermant les yeux
Je fais chanter quand je le veux
Mes souvenirs comme un lointain prélude
Et le rappel des jours anciens
Me fait oublier le chagrin
De te savoir si loin

{Refrain}

The Sailor With The Navy Blue Eyes
Composer(s): Al Hoffman - Victor Mizzy - Irv Taylor
Performer(s): Harry Roy & His Band; Spike Jones



Who’s got girls in every port
Hanging around like flies
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
The sailor with the navy blue eyes

Who’s the guy they love to buy
Dozens of socks and ties
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
The sailor with the navy blue eyes

When the boat comes home after crossing the foam
He’s still at sea
Thinking, wond’ring who’s he gonna take a-rowing on the lake

Who’s the boy who’s full of joy
Waving the most goodbyes
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
The sailor with the navy blue eyes

When the boat comes home after crossing the foam
And he’s still at sea
He’ll start a-wond’ring, worrying, all of a flurrying
Who’s he gonna take rowing on the lake

Now who’s the boy who’s full of joy
Waving the most goodbyes
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
The sailor with the navy blue eyes

When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love
You're walkin' on cloud lucky seven
Hah, seven is the cloud nearest heaven
When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love

Then your heart bumps and kicks
There's one more cloud to go

When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love

Love, love
When you're in love

Reveline
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Pour un bouquet de lilas
Qu'il t'offrit ce jour-là
Reveline
Tu as rêvé d'un jardin
Fleurissant tes matins
Reveline
Pour un petit brin de cour
Tu as rêvé d'amour
Reveline
Comme si un arc-en-ciel
Suffit pour que le ciel
S'illumine

Reviens sur terre
Ma douce amie 
La vie n'est guère
Que la vie

Avec un soleil pâlot
Qui se posait sur l'eau
Reveline
Tu as rêvé que l'été
Durait l'éternité
Reveline
Une balade en bateau
Jusqu'au pont de Puteaux
Reveline
T'a fait rêver de croisière
Mexico, le cap Vert
L'Argentine

Reviens sur terre
Ma douce amie 
La vie n'est guère
Que la vie

Lorsque mon cœur s'assombrit
Et que je broie du gris
Reveline
Je voudrais avoir tes yeux
Pour ne voir que du bleu
Reveline
Toi, qui changes l'eau en vin
Toi qui rêves sans fin
Reveline
Montre-moi comment tu fais
Apprends-moi à rêver
Reveline

Ne change guère
Ma douce amie 
La vie n'est guère
Que la vie

Do It Again A Little Bit Slower
Performer(s): Jon & Robin & The In Crowd



Kiss me (kiss me), I love the way that you kiss me (kiss me, ooo)
There's only one thing wrong with the way you kiss me (kiss me, yeah)
Now your kisses are sweeter than sugar & plenty strong enough
But the bad part is you don't do it slow enough, oh

Do it again just a little bit slower
Do it again just a little bit slower
I just can't stand it when it's over
Do it again just a little bit slower

Hold me (hold me), I love the way that you hold me (hold me, ooo)
There's only one thing wrong with the way you hold me (hold me, yeah)
Maybe you'd just laugh if I let you know too soon
But the thing about this, you just let go too soon, oh baby

Do it again just a little bit slower
Do it again just a little bit slower
I just can't stand it when it's over
Do it again just a little bit slower

Slower, slower, kiss me just a little bit slower
Tell me that you love me, hold me fast, make it last &...

Clothes Line Saga
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Originally performed by: Bob Dylan
Covered by: Suzzy Roche



After a while we took in the clothes
Nobody said very much
Just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants
Which nobody really wanted to touch
Mama come in and picked up a book
An’ papa asked her what it was
Someone else asked, "what do you care?"
Papa said, "well, just because"
Then they started to take back their clothes
Hang ’em on the line
It was january the thirtieth
And everybody was feelin’ fine

The next day everybody got up
Seein’ if the clothes were dry
The dogs were barking, a neighbor passed
Mama, of course, she said, "hi!"
"have you heard the news? "he said, with a grin
"the vice-president’s gone mad!"
"where?" "downtown" "when?"
"last night"
"hmm, say, that’s too bad!"
"well, there’s nothin’ we can do about it," said the neighbor
"it’s just somethin’ we’re gonna have to forget"
"yes, I guess so," said ma
Then she asked me if the clothes was still wet

I reached up, touched my shirt
And the neighbor said, "are those clothes yours?"
I said, "some of ’em, not all of ’em"
He said, "ya always help out around here with the chores?"
I said, "sometime, not all the time"
Then my neighbor, he blew his nose
Just as papa yelled outside
"mama wants you t’ come back in the house and bring them clothes"
Well, I just do what I’m told
So, I did it, of course
I went back in the house and mama met me
And then I shut all the doors

Revelation (Mother Earth)
Composer(s): Bob Daisley; 
Ozzy Osbourne; Randy Rhoads
Performer(s): Ozzy Osbourne;
Novembers Doom; Alex Skolnick Trio



Mother please forgive them
For they know not what they do
Looking back in history's books
It seems it's nothing new

Oh! Let my mother live

Heaven is for heroes
And hell is full of fools
Stupidity, no will to live
They're breaking God's own rules

Please let my mother live

Father, of all creation
I think we're all going wrong
The course they're taking
Seems to be breaking

And it won't take too long
Children of the future
Watching empires fall
Madness the cup they drink from
Self destruction the toll
I had a vision, l saw the world burn
And the seas had turned red
The sun had fallen, the final curtain
In the land of the dead

Mother, please show the children
Before it's too late
To fight each other, there's no-one winning
We must fight all the hate

The Sad Cafe
Composer(s): Joe Walsh - Glenn Frey - Don Henley - J.D. Souther
First release by: Eagles - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
The tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, it seemed like a holy place protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the lonely crowd
Inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, expecting to fly
we would meet on that shore in the sweet by and by
Some of their dreams came true
some just passed away
And some of the stayed behind inside the Sad Cafe
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by
and wonder at the powers that be
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and let's the rest go free
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things in this life change very slowly
if they ever change at all
There's no use in asking why
it just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Cafe
Why don't you meet me at midnight baby
inside the Sad Cafe

Closing Time
Danish Title: Lukketid
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Originally performed by: Leonard Cohen



So we're drinking and we're dancing and the bards are really happening
And the Johnny Walker wisdom's running high
And my very sweet companion, she's an angel of compassion
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh
And every drinker, every dancer lifts a happy face to thank her
And the fiddler fiddles something so sublime

(Repeat:)
And the women tear their blouses off
And the men they dance on the polka dots
And it's partner found and partner lost
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
At Closing Time

Closing Time

Well, we're lonely, we're romantic and the cider's spiked with mushrooms
And the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
And the moon is spinning naked and the summer night is fragrant
With the mighty expectation of relief
So we struggle and we stagger down the snakes and up the ladders
To the tower where the blessed hours chime

(Repeat)
And I swear it happened just like this
A sigh, a cry, and a hungry kiss
The gates of love they budged an inch
And I can't say much has happened since
But Closing Time

Closing Time

I loved you for your beauty but that doesn't make a fool of me
You were in it for your beauty too
And I loved you for your body, there's a voice that sounds like God to me
Declaring that your body's really you
Well I loved you when our love was blessed
And I love you know there's nothing left
But sorrow and a sense of overtime
And I missed you since the place got wrecked
And I just don't care what happens next
Looks like freedom but it feels like death
It's something in between I guess
It's Closing Time

Closing Time

So we're drinking and we're dancing but there's nothing really happening
And the place is dead as heaven on a Saturday night
And my very close companion gets me hot and gets me laughing
She's a hundred but she's wearing something tight
And I lift my glass to the awful truth that you can't reveal to the ears of youth
Except to say it isn't worth a dime
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the Devil and it's for the Christ
But the boss don't like those dizzy heights, we're busted in the blinding lights
Of Closing Time

The Sad Bag Of Shaky Jake
Composer(s): Steve Marriott
Performer(s): Humble Pie



When I was just a kid back in Abeline
I had to use a gun, well, for my own sake
I shot a man down when I was just eighteen
And from that day they call me Shaky Jake
Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
Ma says I was born under bad sign
I was lookin' for the chance to make or break
I cut my teeth on a brandin' iron
I'm the devil's own son, I'm Shaky Jake
Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
I keep on the run now
I travel by night
I don't need anyone
But someone, one day, somewhere's gonna see me right
Dig a hole about six foot deep
Pray the Lord my soul to take
I don't want flowers, and nobody's gonna weep
Here lies that outlaw, Shaky Jake
Oh, Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Oh, Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake

Closing My Eyes
Composer(s): Peter Green
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac; Naked Blue



Now it's the same as before
And I'm alone again

With no sorrow for myself
And I'm blaming no one else

And closing my eyes
And seeing you standing there

Now it's the same as before
You've touched me with your love

And though you're in my heart
We're still a world apart
As now I'm back to the time
Where I would search for a dream
But no use to try anymore as before
Someday I'll die, and maybe then I'll be with you

So I'm closing my eyes
To hear the people laugh

For they're all aglow
Not knowing where to go

But is it asking too much
When the question is what to do
With the life I'll have
It seems I know nothing now
Except my love for you
And the strength in my hands
To go on feeding your smile

Reunited
Composer(s): Dino Fekaris; Freddie Perren

I was a fool to ever leave your side
Me minus you is such a lonely ride
The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad
I realize I love you 'cause I want you bad, hey, hey

Peaches:

Regret the moment that I let you go
Our quarrel was such a way of learnin' so much

Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We Both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey

Came back to life just when I got your call
I wished I could climb right through the telephone line
And give you what you want so you will still be mine, hey, hey

Herb:
I can't go cheatin', honey, I can't play
I found it very hard to stay away
As we reminisce on precious moments like this
I'm glad we're back together 'cause I missed your kiss, hey, hey

Both:
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We Both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ba-a-a-by

Both:
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood.......

The Russians Were Rushin' The Yanks Started Yankin'
Composer(s): Carey Morgan - Charles McCarron



I dreamed of a scene in an old soldier's home
The year was nineteen fifty three
With medals galore that he'd won in this war
He sat smoking peacefully
Tell me of the war of nineteen seventeen
Said his grandson who stood by his side 
How did they fix up that terrible mix up?
And proudly the old man replied

My dream quickly changed to a schoolroom that day 
The lesson was geography
A child raised her hand, said, "I don't understand
This map looks all wrong to me
What is this strange place that is marked Germany?" 
And the teacher replied with a roar
"Why, that's an old map, dear since we had that scrap, dear 
There ain't no such place anymore

The Russsians were rushin' the Prussians
The Prussians were crushin' the Russians 
The Balkins were balkin' and Turkey was squawkin' 
Rasputin disputtin' and Italy scootin'
The Boches all bulled Bolshevikis 
The British were skittish at sea 
But the good Lord I'm thankin' 
The Yanks started yankin'
And yanked Kaiser Bill up a tree

The Russsians were rushin' the Prussians 
The Prussians were crushin' the Russians
The good old Italians were hurling batallions 
Canadians raidin' and Frenchmen invadin'
The Bulgars were bulgin' the Belgians 
But Yanks started yankin' you see
And when Peace was conceded
Some new maps were needed
They ruined the geography

Closer Still
Composer(s): Tish Hinojosa
Performer(s): Tish Hinojosa; Emily Singleton



"Closer Still than e'er my arms have held you
Or the beating rhythm of my heart
I belong to you in frozen mem'ries
And framed in gold is my desire
Closer Still than starlight soft upon you
For though a million shine tonight
Deep inside is where one lonely forgotten
Dream is waiting here
Closer Still
Closer Still is every word that takes me
To the fire burnin' without end
In the moonlight pale a song is sayin'
That time will find us back again
Closer Still our shadows must be swayin'
For I can almost hear you say
Deep inside is where one lonely forgotten
Dream is waiting here
Closer Still"

Return To Terrapin
Composer(s): Robert Hunter
Performer(s): The Grateful Dead



Up these steps beside me climb
To Terrapin and points sublime
Robbed of reason, faith and name
Broken-hearted blind and lame

Slain by doubt, mistaken trust
Abandoned in the rain to rust
Shriveled by the heat of day
Torn to shreds by birds of prey

Shapeless in the fire's glow
Tell me if you think you know
Who it was we were below
Where we've been and where we go

Lilies have the bees to tend them
Grasses have the breeze to bend them
Broken hearts have tears to mend them
Show us stairs, we will ascend them

Stair by stair by stair we climb
Voices hushed to sighs by time
Speak our souls in pantomime
Clear cold bells of winter chime

Pale through this ghostly haze
The dawn of a newborn moon
Illuminates this ancient maze
Of tumbled stones rough hewn

Trust your faith and enter
By paths the heart divines
The sun lies at the center
Through gates of creeping vines

how faint the rays
of former days
in avenues of time
but it does shine
emblem of sight
pride of the eyes
that shatters shadow
and all of the dark defies

Let the sun rise!

The Runner
Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band



Through the night, through the dawn
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back you've been there
Feel the mist as your breath hits the air
And it's underneath the moonlight 
Passing some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

Through the night, through the dawn
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back, you've been there
Feel the mist as your breath hits the air
And it's underneath the moonlight 
Passing some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

And you will run your time
A shooting star across the sky 
And you will surely cross the line
To pass on the flame
Sun come up, sun go down 
Hear the feet see the sweat on the ground
Watch your step, keep your cool
Though you can't see what's in front of you

And it's underneath the moonlight 
Passing some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

And you will run your time
A shooting star across the sky 
And you will surely cross the line
To pass on the flame
Pass on the flame
Through the night, through the dawn
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back, you've been there
See the mist as your breath hits the air

And it's underneath the moonlight 
Passing some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

Closer Every Day
Composer(s): Patrick Simmons
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



I just looked in the mirror 
Was that me? 
I'm older now than I used to be
The sky above me, Lord, it's turnin' red
There's a hard rain fallin' 'round my head

Oh Lord, fallin' round my head
Oh Lord, fallin' round my head 
Oh Lord, fallin' round my head 
Oh Lord, fallin' round my head 

The road I'm standin' on, it twists and turns
The soles of my feet, Lord, they're 'bout to burn
The reaper beckons, and he points the way
Oh Lord, I'm gettin' closer everyday

Oh Lord, closer every day
Oh Lord, closer every day 
Oh Lord, closer every day 
Oh Lord, closer every day 

The road I'm standin' on, it twists and turns
The soles of my feet, Lord, they're 'bout to burn
The reaper beckons, and he points the way
Oh Lord, I'm gettin' closer everyday

Oh Lord, closer every day
Oh Lord, closer every day 
Oh Lord, closer every day 
Oh Lord, closer every day
