'Leven-Thirty Saturday Night Composer(s): Earl Burtnett - Bell Grantham Jess Kirkpatrick Performer(s): Earl Burtnett and multiple other artists
All events of consequence in history Are mysteries as to the time they happened My event was Heaven sent and you can bet I can't forget the time
For it was at the dance, I was in a trance 'Leven-thirty Saturday night And in my arms I held a world of charms 'Leven-thirty Saturday night
At eight my fate had just begun It grew quite late before love had won Ooh, can't you see, she accepted me 'Leven-thirty Saturday night Ooh, baby, 'leven-thirty Saturday night
Now, when I met my pet, my little sugar pet 'Leven-thirty Saturday night I felt so weak, I could hardly speak But finally I got over my fright
And through my fear, she looked so dear I had a whisper right in her ear Can't you guess, golly gee, she accepted me 'Leven-thirty Saturday night Ooh baby, 'leven-thirty Saturday night
Now, I met a maid through an escapade 'Leven-thirty Saturday night And pretty soon we were in her room 'Leven-thirty Saturday night
Well, we sat and talked, then suddenly Yes, her husband, he came unexpectedly Well, I got there looking debonair When he got through I looked like a sight Exactly 'leven-thirty Saturday night
I Play And Sing Composer(s): Russell Brown; Irwin Levine Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn
When they ask me for my autograph I catch you in the corner of my eye and I know that smile upon your face means we made it girl you and I From the hard life on the south side to the spotlight here on the stage
Without you no tellin' where I'd be
singin' me diff'rent song Breakin' rocks for ten or twenty years
But you wouldn't let me go wrong Standin' by me 'cause you love me
Easter Island Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson - Mike Utley
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Guarding the carcass, we stripped and devided
To carve up and covet they wait there alone
Keeping the secret the rest have forgotten
And staring in silence from sockets of stone
Built and obeyed with the best of intentions
Stranger than truth and as lost and alone
Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger
No good to nothing not even their own
Holy-O-my God-I
can't see the stars in the sky
for the sun in my eye
She's like a dream that a world quit believin'
Caught in the action back to the sea
How many more might have come from that mountain?
Barely the creatures they struggled to be
Surely the death of so grand an illusion
Left us with legends too great to ignore
Stone-cut survivors of ancient dimensions
Lost in the wonder they came to explore
Holy star light far brighter
than the sun in your eye
Singing thy will be done
Holy star light far brighter
than the sun in your eye
Singing thy will be done
Trilhos Urbanos Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso and multiple other artists
O melhor o tempo esconde, longe, muito longe Mas bem dentro aqui, quando o bonde dava a volta ali No cais de Araújo Pinho, tamarindeirinho Nunca me esqueci onde o imperador fez xixi
Cana doce Santo Amaro, gosto muito raro Trago em mim por ti, e uma estrela sempre a luzir
Bonde das Trilhos Urbanos vão passando os anos E eu não ti perdi, meu trabalho é de traduzir
Rua da Matriz ao Conde no trole ou no bonde Tudo é bom de vê, São Popó do Maculelê
Mas aquela curva aberta, aquela coisa certa Não dá prá entender o Apolo e o rio Subaé
Pena de Pavão de Krishna, maravilha, vixe Maria Mãe de Deus, será que esses olhos são meus?
Cinema transcendental, Trilhos Urbanos Gal cantando Balancê, como eu sei me lembrar de você
You And Your Beautiful Eyes Composer(s): Jerry Livingston; Mack David Performer(s): Dean Martin & Polly Bergen
You and your beautiful eyes That tell such beautiful lies Oh when you start that hocus pocus Boy, things get out of focus
You and the way that you kiss Well they ought to give you a prize Baby you could make a statue come to life just a-looking at you You and your beautiful eyes
You (you're so observant) and your beautiful eyes That tell (the lies you're selling) such beautiful lies (may start my head a-swelling) When (tell me some more) you start that hocus pocus (jumping Jimminy Crickets)
(Both) Boy, things get out of focus
(Well talk about you) Well honey please do (And the way that you kiss) You'll like this (You ought to stage a big parade and give you a prize) Your lips lets try them on for size oh baby You could make a statue come to life just a-looking at you (Don't stop) Gee but you're beautiful Oh but they're beautiful
Easter Composer(s): Ivan Kral - Patti Smith - Jay Dee Daugherty - Lenny Kaye
First release by: Patti Smith Group - 1978
Easter Sunday, we were walking Easter Sunday, we were talking Isabel, my little one, take my hand Time has come
Isabella, all is glowing Isabella, all is knowing And my heart, Isabella And my head, Isabella
Frederick and Vitalie, savior dwells inside of thee Oh, the path leads to the sun Brother, sister, time has come
Isabella, all is glowing Isabella, all is knowing Isabella, we are dying Isabella, we are rising
I am the spring, the holy ground the endless seed of mystery the thorn, the veil, the face of grace the brazen image, the thief of sleep the ambassador of dreams, the prince of peace I am the sword, the wound, the stain Scorned transfigured child of Cain I rend, I end, I return Again I am the salt, the bitter laugh I am the gas in a womb of light, the evening star the ball of sight that leads that sheds the tears of Christ dying and drying as I rise tonight
Isabella, we are rising Isabella, we are rising ...

I Owe You One Composer(s): Phil Galdston; Jon Lind; Wendy Waldman Performer(s): Aaron Neville
There's a chill in the evening air Carries me back to some place where I thought I'd lost my way forever Every dream and every plan Every last chance slipped through my hand And you smiled at me and it was over Holding you tonight Hold on tight I try to say it right And I guess sometimes the words don't come And I wish I told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one Walk me down those streets again Stop me right at the moment when You stood there talking to a stranger Tell me how you looked at me And knew the very best that I could be How did you see this happy ending Standing by your side I'm still surprised I try to say it right But I guess sometimes the words don't come And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one One for life and one for love And all you've given me For the dreams you made me dream again And all that we can be Holding you tonight, holding you tonight Hold on tight I try to say it right I guess sometimes the words don't come And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one

I Overlooked An Orchid (While Searching For A Rose)
I Overlooked An Orchid (While Searching For A Rose) Composer(s): Carl Story; Shirly Lynn; Carl Smith Performer(s): Carl Smith and multiple other artists
The orchid is a flower That blooms so tenderly To thrill the fairest lady of the land If placed beside a blushin' rose The rose could not compare But how was such as I to understand
I overlooked an orchid While searching for a rose The orchid that I overlooked was you The rose that I was searching for Has proved to be untrue The orchid now I find, my dear, was you
The rose has lost it's colour But the orchid is the same And I'm alone to face these lonely years I didn't see the orchid I was looking for a rose And now I pay the price with bitter tears
I overlooked an orchid While searching for a rose The orchid that I overlooked was you The rose that I was searching for Has proved to be untrue The orchid now I find, my dear, was you

I wish that we could live up in the sky Where we would find a place away up high We'd live among the stars, the sun, the moon Just you and I
East of the sun and west of the moon We'll build a dream house of love, dear Near to the sun in the day Near to the moon at night We'll live in a lovely way, dear Living on love and pale moonlight Just you and I Forever and a day Love will not die We'll keep it that way Up among the stars we'll find A harmony of life to a lovely tune East of the sun and west of the moon, dear East of the sun and west of the moon
Triangolo Composer(s): Renato Zero Performer(s): Renato Zero
L'indirizzo ce l' ho... rintracciarti non è un problema ti telefonerò, ti offrirò una serata strana il pretesto lo sai, quattro dischi e un po' di whisky sarò grande vedrai, fammi spazio e dopo mi dirai che maschio sei!
Lui chi è? Come mai l' hai portato con te? Il suo ruolo mi spieghi qual'è? Io volevo incontrarti da sola... semmai!!! Mentre lui, lui chi è? Lui chi è? Lui chi è? Lui chi è?... già è difficile farlo con te... mollalo! Lui chi è? Lui chi è? Lui chi è? Lui chi è? E' distratto ma è certo di troppo, mollalo!!!
Mi aspettavo lo sai, un rapporto un po' più normale quale eventualità, trovagli una collocazione ora spiegami dai, l'atteggiamento che dovrò adottare... mentre io rischierei di trovarmi al buio fra le braccia lui... non è il mio tipo...
I Oughta Let Go Composer(s): Steve Diamond; T. Seals; E. Setser Performer(s): 38 Special
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
It's only Monday, and my heart's already broken I had a feeling it was gonna be different this time But you were just talkin', going through the motions And all the teachings were backin' up your lines
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
Day after day brings night after night without sleeping You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for Some kind of affection that I can believe in You give me just a little, I want a little bit more
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
Day after day brings night after night without sleeping You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for Some kind of affection that I can believe in You give me just a little, I want a little bit more
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
I oughta know better, I just oughta let go Man I've got to be crazy, some kind of fever ...
East Of Eden Composer(s): Michael McDonald Performer(s): Michael McDonald
The world goes mad around us As I stand by and watch you sleep In the hope that harm won't find us I pray the lord our souls to keep Does he see us here? Are we precious in his sight? Or are we merely dust on this tiny ball? He hurled out into the night Somewhere east of Eden
From the first time that we stumble We learn that nothing is assurred However hopelessly we tumble It's by the grace of God that we endure If there's some better place Far from all that's wrong But if God in his wisdom Saw fit to put you here Then here is where I belong Somewhere east of Eden
Maybe he laughs in our face By way of the cold hard fact That these moments framed in time and space Are the same ones nothing can bring back
Maybe we exist and wonder through this world Just to lead each other home From somewhere east of Eden
Triad Composer(s): David Crosby First recording/First release: The Byrds - 1967/Jefferson Airplane - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
You want to know how it will be Me and him and you and me You both stand there your long hair flowing Your eyes alive your mind still growing Saying to me -- "What can we do now that we both love you" I love you too -- I don't really see Why can't we go on as three You are afraid -- embarrassed too No one has ever said such a thing to you Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder Face like ice -- a little bit colder Saying to you -- "you can not do that, it breaks All the rules you learned in school" I don't really see Why can't we go on as three We love each other -- it's plain to see There's just one answer comes to me -- Sister -- lovers -- water brothers And in time -- maybe others So you see -- what we can do -- is to try something new -- If you're crazy too -- I don't really see Why can't we go on as three
Up The Junction Composer(s): Glenn Tilbrook; Chris Difford First release by: Squeeze - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
I never thought it would happen With me and the girl from Clapham Out on a windy common That night I ain't forgotten When she dealt out the rations With some or other passions I said "You are a lady" "Perhaps" she said "I may be"
We moved into a basement With thoughts of our engagement We stayed in by the telly Although the room was smelly We spent our time just kissing The Railway Arms we're missing But love had got us hooked up And all our time it took up
I got a job with Stanley He said I'd come in handy And started me on Monday So I had a bath on Sunday I worked eleven hours And bought the girl some flowers She said she'd seen a doctor And nothing now could stop her
I worked all through the winter The weather brass and bitter I put away a tenner Each week to make her better And when the time was ready We had to sell the telly Late evenings by the fire With little kicks inside her
This morning at 4:50 I took her rather nifty Down to an incubator Where thirty minutes later She gave birth to a daughter Within a year a walker She looked just like her mother If there could be another
And now she's two years older Her mother's with a soldier She left me when my drinking Became a proper stinging The devil came and took me From bar to street to bookie No more nights by the telly No more nights nappies smelling
Alone here in the kitchen I feel there's something missing I'd beg for some forgiveness But begging's not my business And she won't write a letter Although I always tell her And so it's my assumption I'm really up the Junction

I Only Want To Love You Composer(s): Mike Pinder Performer(s): Mike Pinder
Looking back, sometimes I wondered Who held the key to your heart Now I know, through places I travelled Our love's unraveled a chart...
In my life I've waited... For a chance to really make it... Something written into my stars. Past lives that I've lived Only lead up to a Gift Of speaking out my thoughts in my songs
I only want to love you I only want to care I'd like a friend to talk to My feelings are to share...my life with someone I hope it's you and that you'll care
Our imagination is a secret of creation Given to us right at the start And our Destination is reaching for salvation From the city streets we've outgrown
I only want to love you I only want to care I'd like a friend to talk to My feelings are to share my life...with someone I hope it's you and that you'll care
I only want to love you... So will you play this song again...
