Answer To The Master Composer(s): Steve Clark - Joe Elliot - Rick Savage - Pete Willis Performer(s): Def Leppard
When the night time unfolds And the memories that you hold Bring a light to your eyes Though you know it's disguise When the night turns to day You turn around and say Magic mirror please tell Is this heaven or hell?
Answer to the master Can you look to the sky? Can you live through your lie? Of the thoughts you can't trace Which time can't erase
To a face on the wall Do you often recall What you said on the night When the new full moon was rising? Answer to the master Oh yeah
When the night time unfolds And the memories that you hold Bring a light to your eyes Though you know it's disguise When the night turns to day And you turn around and say Magic mirror please tell Is this heaven or hell?
Deep Inside Of You
Composer(s): Neil Diamond - Beth Nielsen Chapman
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Beth Nielsen Chapman; Ray Grant
Good morning I love you Now that you're here where you belong I want to be the man you need Just tell me you love me Because I need to hear it, too Just let me be the one you carry deep inside of you
I need you beside me; the road is so long You run through my heart Like the words of a bitter-sweet song I'd travel the whole world Across the earth, around the sun If I could be the one you carry deep inside of you
Without you beside me, the road is so long You live in my heart And it hurts when I think of you gone I need you in my way I have no right to love so true But let me be the one, the one who lives inside of you Just let me be the one you carry deep inside of you

I stayed up all night Waiting for you to call But something ain't right Night after night I get lonely

Deep In The Darkest Night
Composer(s): Rick Kemp
Performer(s): Maddy Prior; Nick Holland; Troy Donockley
Deep in the darkest night
Under a midnight blue
Standing alone with the sea and the moon
You said that you'd come back soon
Deep in the darkest night
Deep in a memory
A fugitive on the run
Looking for somewhere to make a bed
Somewhere to lie a restless head
Deep in a memory
I'll be your harbour when there's a storm
I'll be your sunshine I'll keep you warm
I'll be your shelter in the rain and snow
Remember wherever you go
Deep in the darkest night
Dans un noir de nuit
Je n'avais rien dit
Souvenir d'un ête chaud
Souvenir de soleil et d'eau
Dans un noir de nuit
Deep in your heart you know
You're running against the wind
Taking your loneliness in your case
The same old sadness from place to place
Deep in your heart you know
I'll be your harbour when there's a storm
I'll be your sunshine I'll keep you warm
I'll be your shelter in the rain and snow
Remember wherever you go
Deep in the darkest night
Dans un noir de nuit
Dans un noir de nuit
Deep in the darkest night

Deep In A Dream
Composer(s): Eddie De Lange - James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Artie Shaw
I dim all the lights and I sink in my chair The smoke from my cigarette fans through the air The walls of my room fade away in the blue And Im deep in a dream of you
The smoke makes the stairway for you to descend You come to my arms, may this bliss never end For well love anew just as we used to do When Im deep in a dream of you
Then from the ceiling, sweet music comes stealing We glide to a lovers refrain Youre so appealing, that Im soon revealing My love for you over again
My cigarette burns me, I wake with a start My hand doesnt hurt But theres a pain in my heart Awake or asleep, every memory Ill keep Deep in a dream of you
Then from the ceiling, sweet music comes stealing We glide to a lovers refrain Youre so appealing, that Im soon revealing My love for you over again
My cigarette burns me, I wake with a start My hand doesnt hurt But theres a pain in my heart Awake or asleep, every memory Ill keep Deep in a dream of you

So Answer The Phone when it rings, darlin And if somebody knocks let them in You dont have to be afraid that its me Cause Ill never bother you again
Deep Blue Composer(s): George Harrison Performer(s): George Harrison
When sunshine is not enough To make me feel bright It's got me suffering in the darkness That's so easy come by on the road-side Of one loong life-time
It's got me deep blue You know I'm deep blue
When you stand there, watch tired bodies Full of sickness and pain To show you just how helpless you really are When you get down to the truth It hurts me
It's got me deep blue You know I'm deep blue
When I think of the life I'm living Pray God help me; give me your light So I can love you and understand This repetition that keeps me here Feeling deep blue
Who Was That Lady? Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - James Van Heusen First recording/First release by: Dean Martin - 1959
You're looking at a loser A man who's loved and lost A man whose most romantic bridges now have all been crossed And still that face appears, wherever I go I'm sure you're bored to tears But I must know Who was that lady? That fabulous lady? That lady I saw you with last night?
Tell me, was she an angel? If she was an angel She sure kept her wings out of sight!
Pardon my asking, but was she thrilling And was she willing to kiss the evening away? Say who was that lady? I knew such a lady And foolishly let her out of my life So if she's the one Please spare me the pun I'd sure miss the fun in "That was no lady, that was my wife"
Who was that lady? I knew such a lady And foolishly let her out of my life So if she's the one Please spare me the pun I'd sure miss the fun in That old crawler no joke is duller Than that was no lady That was my wife
Answer Me, Lord Above ((aka Answer Me (by David Whitfield) - 1953; Answer Me, My Love (by Nat King Cole) - 1953)) ((Adapted from: Mütterlein (by Leila Negra & der Wiener Kinderchor) - 1952)) ((Dutch Version: Sta Me Bij (by Will Tura) - 1980)) Composer(s): Gerhard Winkler - Fred Rauch - Carl Sigman Performer(s): Frankie Laine & The Norman Luboff Choir - 1953
Answer me Lord above Just what sin have I been guilty of Tell me how I came to lose my love Please answer me, oh Lord
She was mine yesterday I believed that love was here to stay Won't you tell me where I've gone astray Please answer me, oh Lord
If she's happier without me Don't tell her I care But if she still thinks about me Please let her hear my prayer
Let her know I've been true Send her back so we can start anew In my sorrow may I turn to you Please answer me, oh Lord
If she's happier without me Don't tell her I care But if she still thinks about me Please let her hear my prayer
Let her know I've been true Send her back so we can start anew In my sorrow may I turn to you Please answer me, oh Lord
Dédié À Toi Composer(s): Ivano Fossati Performer(s): Dalida
À tous les ringards de la terre et aux paumés comme moi Celui à qui je voudrais plaire À ceux qui ne m'aiment pas je dédie ceci Aux plays boys finis À Rosa, Rosine et à moi aussi
À qui se voit dans une glace et finalement ne se voit plus À qui n'a pas de glace et cela revient au même Ne se voit plus non plus À tous les solitaires À tous les ramasses misére et à l'amour perdu
À ceux qui ont cherché la manière et qui ne l'on pas trouvé À la gueule que j'avais hier Dédié à ceux qui ont souffert et n'ont pas crié À tous les prisonniers À ceux qui ont retrouvé la liberté À celui qui a voulu mes levres et qui n'en a plus voulu Dédié à ceux qui comprennent Qu'il faut quitter la scène quand on a perdu À l'Italie, à la nostalgie et à moi aussi
Mais cette chanson sans importance ne pourrait pas finir ainsi Comme un petit air de danse, une simple romance sans que je la dédie Aux amours morts que l'oubli emporte et à mol aussi Aux amours morts que l'oubli emporte et à mol aussi

Dedication
Composer(s): Guy Fletcher - Doug Flett
Performer(s): Bay City Rollers
I phoned the local station I kinda like the things they're playing So I settled down to listen nice and easy The DJ plays our kind of music He's asked us folk to choose it But it all adds up to another night without you
Now and then he takes a phone-in And anyone who's feeling lonely Can call him up And make a little conversation And in the night there's music playing Soft behind the words he's saying Would I like to make a dedication
This song I wanna dedicate to you And to everyone who feels the way we do As long as you're a part of me The song will play on endlessly I hope my dedication's getting through
I'm standing in this lonely city There's not enough to keep me busy And we can't meet til I can take a short vacation You'll never know how much I love you Lying here thinking of you And all I got is a late night music station
This song I wanna dedicate to you And to everyone who feels the way we do As long as you're a part of me The song will play on endlessly I hope my dedication's getting thru Dedication playing just for you
This song I wanna dedicate to you And to everyone who feels the way we do As long as you're a part of me the song will play on endlessly I hope my dedication's gettin' thru Dedication's playing just for you
Dedicated To You But You Weren't Listening
Composer(s): Hugh Hopper

Famous parabolic versions Songs that promise Beauty, sleep, love, sadness Do I dream that something's missing? Hungry, thirsty, open off-peak mind Give me the truth, give me the truth give me the truth, tell me...
Songs and verses Handy captions Photographs of Real-life action, horror, madness Can it be that something's happening? Wash me, paint me, but please don't t'aint me Give me a chance, give me chance give me a chance...
When I was young, the sky was blue And everyone knew what to do But now it's gone, the telly's here Mass media, the sewer too
Universal maximillion Eight rare cases Chickenpox and crawling gladness Seemingly it's nothing happening Cure my doctor don't swallow him down Give me the cure, give me the cure give me the cure...
The night was cool, the moon was bright The air was clear with oxygen The stars were there, and in my eyes Were thousands of chrysanthemums
Don't use magnets Geophysics carry you back Wholesome, healthfood, homepride Satisfied Something outside gives out hunger Face my mirror Electricity...
