    Man On The Corner
    Composer(s): Phil Collins
    Performer(s): Genesis; Daryl Stuermer



    See the lonely man there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know
    But he waits everyday now
    He's just waiting for something to show

    And nobody knows him
    And nobody cares
    'Cos there's no hiding place
    There's no hiding place - for you

    Looking everywhere at no one
    He sees everything and nothing at all - oh
    When he shouts nobody listens
    Where he leads no one will go - oh

    He's a lonely man, there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know
    But he waits everyday now
    He's just waiting for something to show - oh

    Nobody knows him
    And nobody cares
    'Cos there's no hiding place
    There's no hiding place - for you and me

    Are we just like all the rest
    We're looking too hard for something he's got
    Or moving too fast to rest
    But like a monkey on your back you need it
    But do you love it enough to leave it - ah

    Just like the lonely man there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know - oh
    But he waits every day now
    He's just waiting for that something to show - oh

    Who's the lonely man there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know
    But he's there every day now
    And he's just waiting for something to show - oh

    Who's the lonely man there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know
    Oh but he waits every day now
    He's just waiting for that something to show

    1882
    Performer(s): Paul McCartney



    Good morning, young master, it's 1882
    Your mother is hungry, what will you do?
    There is bread in the kitchen of the big house upstairs
    But I warn you, don't take it from them

    Na na na na, du du, du du, na na du
    You'll be tarred, you'll be feathered, you'll be hung like a ham
    And I warn you, don't do it, young man

    Your mother is calling, she wants you by the bed
    So get up, young master, go shake your sleepy head
    "Darling son, I am dying, and I leave it to you
    I'm leaving, tell me, what did I do?"

    Du du du, du du du, du du du, du du du
    I'm dying, tell me, what did I do?"

    Boy, he steals the bread, now that's enough, and heads for the door
    Man, he hears him coming, "Boy, you won't be running no more"
    Boy, he gets arrested and the case is tested that day
    Judge, he guilty makes him and the jailer takes him away

    Du du du du, du du du du du, du du du du
    Du du du du, du du du, du du du du du du
    Good night to the outlaw, but you want to be free
    Good morning, oh, it's late, too late again

    Man Of Miracles
    Composer(s): Ray Brandle; Dennis DeYoung; James Young
    Performer(s): Styx



    He was a man of miracles

    Fighting the solar windstorm
    A winged horse guides his way
    Oracle of the ancient midnight
    Calls forth everlasting pain

    And I know, yes I know
    He was a man of miracles
    Riding golden meteorites
    Ruler of distant galaxies
    Born of the northern lights
    Of the northern lights

    Sorcerer of the dark moon
    Who dare incur his rage?
    First child of the scorpion
    Prophet of the crystal age

    And I know, yes I know
    He was a man of miracles
    Riding golden meteorites
    Ruler of distant galaxies
    Born of the northern lights
    Of the northern lights

    He was a man of miracles

    1917
    Composer(s): David Olney
    Performer(s): David Olney; Linda Rondstadt



    The strange young man who comes to me
    A soldier on a three day spree
    Who needs one night's cheap ecstasy
    And a woman's arms to hide him
    He greets me with a courtly bow
    And hides his pain by acting proud
    He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
    How can I deny him?

    Let us dance beneath the moon
    I'll sing to you "Claire de Lune'
    The morning always comes too soon
    But tonight the war is over

    He speaks to me in schoolboy French
    Of a soldier's life inside a trench
    Of the look of death and the ghastly stench
    I do my best to please him

    He puts two roses in a vase
    Two roses sadly out of place
    Like the gallant smile on his haggard face
    Playfully I tease him

    Hold me 'neath the Paris skies
    Let's not talk of how or why
    Tomorrow's soon enough to die
    But tonight the war is over

    We make love too hard too fast
    He falls asleep, his face a mask
    He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask
    I put my arms around him

    They die in the trenches and they die in the air
    In Belgium and France the dead are everywhere
    They die so fast there's no time to prepare
    A decent grave to surround them

    Old world glory, old world fame
    The old world's gone, gone up in flames
    Nothing will ever be the same
    And nothing lasts forever

    Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how
    And there's nothing, nothing that can save him now
    There's always another with the same funny bow
    And who am I to deny them

    Man Of Many Words
    Composer(s): Buddy Guy
    Originally performed by: Buddy Guy



    I don't care what nobody say
    I'm a man of a many words
    I can speak things to you darlin' I do
    I can swear that you never heard
    I rap strong and I know it right along
    Come on mama let me turn you on
    Now come on
    Alright

    When I grab my game and call your name
    You would never be the same
    In the midnight hours when you dream my darling
    I swear you will call my name
    I rap strong when I know it right along
    Come on mama let me turn you on
    Now come on

    I was hauled off to jail late last night
    With no one to go my bail
    I rapped strong to the judge early this morning
    And the judge put the cops in jail
    I rap strong and I know it right along
    Come on mama let me turn you on
    Now come on
    Let me tell you about it baby
    I gotta tell you
    I'm gonna preach about it
    I want the world to know about it
    I want to know what you did to me
    Let me tell you
    Listen

    Can you hear me
    I wanna know do you hear me now
    I gotta know do you hear me
    I wanna know do you need me
    Lord
    Lord
    Ohhhhhh, baby
    Let's talk about it
    Let me tell ya

    1941
    Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
    Performer(s): Harry Nilsson;
    Tom Northcott; Joel Grey



    Well in nineteen-forty-one
    A happy father had a son
    And by nineteen-forty-four
    The father walked right out the door
    And in forty-five
    The mom and son were still alive
    But who could tell in forty-six
    If the two were to survive
    Well the years were passing quickly
    But not fast enough for him
    So he closed his eyes till fifty-five
    And he opened them up again
    When he looked around he saw a clown
    And the clown seemed very gay
    And he set that night to join
    That circus clown and run away

    Yoh-dod-dle-doh-da-dat-un-dee-dee (Scat Solo)

    Well he followed every railroad track
    And every highway sign
    And he had a girl in each new town
    And the towns he left behind
    And the open road
    Was the only road he knew
    But the colour of his dreams
    Slowly turned into blue
    Then he met a girl
    The kind of girl he wanted all his life
    She was soft and kind and good to him
    So he took her for a wife
    And they got a house not far from town
    And in a little while
    The girl had seen the doctor
    And she came home with a smile

    Now in nineteen-sixty-one
    A happy father had a son
    And by nineteen-sixty-four
    The father walked right out the door
    And in sixty-five
    The mom and son were still around
    But what will happen to the boy
    When the circus comes to town

    Ba-dom-ba-da-da..... (Scat Solo........Fade)

    Man Made Paradise
    Composer(s): Freddie Mercury
    Performer(s): Freddie Mercury



    I want to gaze into your eyes and see the fire in their glow
    But it's the same old story
    Want you to melt inside my arms like falling rain upon the snow
    But you say no, you say no
    Want you to help me through deep waters when my ship is in a storm
    Want you to give me all the power like a king on his throne
    But you don't care, you don't care
    History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again

    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise, paradise

    One day I'll look into your mind and understand which way to go
    But it's the same old story
    When you refuse me all the time I'm suicidal on my own
    But you don't know, you don't know
    I want to be beside you now, lie in the stand and kiss your brow
    I want to fly beyond the moon and do the things we do for love
    But you don't care, you don't care
    History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again

    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise, paradise

    I want to be beside you now, lie in the sand and kiss your brow
    I want to fly beyond the moon and do the things we do for love
    But you say no, you say no
    History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again

    Man In The Mirror
    Composer(s): Siedah Garrett; Glen Ballard
    Performer(s): Michael Jackson



    I'm gonna make a change
    for once im my life
    It's gonna feel real good
    gonna make a diference
    Gonna make it right...

    As I, turn up the collar on
    my favorite winter coat
    This wind is blowing my mind
    I see the kids in the streets
    with not enought to eat
    Who am I to be blind?
    Pretending not to see their needs

    A summer disregard,a broken bottle top
    And a one man soul
    They follow each other on the wind ya' know
    'Cause they got nowhere to go
    That's why I want you to know

    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    And no message could have been any clearer
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    (If you wanna make the world a better place)
    Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
    (Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
    (Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

    I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
    It's time that I realize
    That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
    Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?

    A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
    And a washed-out dream
    (Washed-out dream)
    They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
    'Cause they got no place to be
    That's why I'm starting with me
    (Starting with me!)

    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    (Ooh!)
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    (Ooh!)
    And no message could have been any clearer
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    (If you wanna make the world a better place)
    Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
    (Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)

    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    (Ooh!)
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    (Change his ways - ooh!)
    And no message could have been any clearer
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    Take a look at yourself and then make that..
    (Take a look at yourself and then make that..)
    Change!

    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    (Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!)
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    (Better change!)
    No message could have been any clearer
    (If you wanna make the world a better place)

    (Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
    (You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
    ('Cause when you close your heart)
    You can't close your... your mind!
    (Then you close your... mind!)
    That man, that man, that man, that man
    With the man in the mirror
    (Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
    That man, that man, that man,
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    (Better change!)
    You know... that man
    No message could have been any clearer
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    (If you wanna make the world a better place)
    Take a look at yourself and then make the change
    (Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
    Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
    Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
    (Ooooh...)
    Oh no, no no...

    I'm gonna make a change
    It's gonna feel real good!
    Come on!
    (Change...)
    Just lift yourself
    You know
    You've got to stop it
    Yourself!
    (Yeah! - Make that change!)
    I've got to make that change, today!
    Hoo!
    (Man in the mirror)
    You got to
    You got to not let yourself...
    brother
    Hoo!
    (Yeah! - Make that change!)
    You know - I've got to get
    that man, that man...
    (Man in the mirror)
    You've got to
    You've got to move! Come on!
    Come on!
    You got to...
    Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
    (Yeah! - Make that change)
    Stand up and lift yourself, now!
    (Man in the mirror)
    Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
    Aaow!
    (Yeah! - Make that change!)
    Gonna make that change...
    come on!
    You know it!

    1952 Vincent Black Lightning
    Composer(s): Richard Thompson
    Performer(s): Richard Thompson



    Oh says Red Molly to James
    "That's a fine motorbike
    A girl could feel special on any such like"
    Says James to Red Molly "My hat's off to you
    It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
    And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
    Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme"
    And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride
    Oh says James to Red Molly "Here's a ring for your right hand
    But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
    For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
    I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
    Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22
    And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you
    And if fate should break my stride
    Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride"

    "Come down, come down, Red Molly" called Sergeant McRae
    "For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery
    Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside
    Oh come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside"
    When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
    He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
    But he smiled to see her cry
    He said "I'll give you my Vincent to ride"

    Says James "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world
    Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
    Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do
    Ah, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52"
    Oh he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
    Said "I've got no further use for these
    I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome
    Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"
    And he gave her one last kiss and died
    And he gave her his Vincent to ride

    Man In The Mirror
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



    The man in the mirror
    He keeps getting nearer
    But I am not moving
    The man in the backstreet
    Is holding a trackmeet
    But I will not run

    Someplace inside you a
    Seed has been born
    You've got to watch it grow
    Someplace inside you
    A river is waiting to flow
    Will you let it go?

    Those voices you're hearing
    Are never worth fearing
    They're only inside you
    They'll tempt you and taunt you
    They'll help you and haunt you
    But don't try to hide

    Sometimes the sun will be
    Right at your shoulder
    Helping you keep your stride
    Sometimes you might have to give up
    A piece of your pride
    Have you even tried?

    The man in the mirror
    He keeps getting nearer
    But I am not moving
    The man in the backstreet
    Is holding a trackmeet
    But I will not run

    Someplace inside you a
    Seed has been born
    You've got to watch it grow
    Someplace inside you
    A river is waiting to flow
    Will you let it go?

    I wanta hear me some boogie played
    like I heard in 1954
    I wanta hear me some boogie played
    like I heard in 1954
    You know the way that Fats played the boogie
    You just don't hear that anymore

    I was just a little thing when I heard it on the radio
    i was just a little thing when I heard it on the radio
    Jerry Lee and Little Richard
    You just don't hear that anymore

    It was a rompin', stompin', finger-poppin'
    Good-time music for my soul
    And when the drums were talkin' and the bass went walkin'
    That started it
    Rock and Roll, oh!

    I wanta hear me some boogie played like I heard in 1954
    I wanta hear my Captain play some boogie now like I heard in 1954
    You know the way my Captain plays the boogie
    You just don't hear that anymore

    Man In The Middle
    Performer(s): Tom Petty



    Like an inventor
    He is a symbol of a new age
    He glides above the realms
    Of you and me
    He flows through your life
    And makes you feel quite small
    You may sit up in your chair
    He doesn’t care at all

    He’s the man in the middle
    You can tell which way he lays
    He’s the man in the middle
    And he realises
    And he realises
    And he realises
    Beauty pays

    His gowns come from paris
    Occasionally from rome
    He can go anywhere
    Say back to his home
    He flows through your life
    And makes you feel quite small
    Flashing to the white collars
    Ha, he doesn’t care at all

    He’s the man in the middle
    You can tell which way he lays
    He’s the man in the middle
    And he realises
    And he realises
    And he realises
    Beauty pays
    Please...

    He’s the man in the middle
    You can tell which way he lays
    He’s the man in the middle
    And he realises
    And he realises
    And he realises
    Beauty pays

    He’s the man in the middle
    You can tell which way he lays
    He’s the man in the middle
    And he realises
    And he realises
    And he realises
    Beauty pays
    Please...

    1959
    Composer(s): Gary Gentry
    Performer(s): John Anderson



    Cigarettes were a quarter then
    bobby socks and jeans were in
    Elvis sang the songs that we loved so
    and the most important thing to us
    was keeping gas in my old truck
    so I could take us to the drive-in show

    Then graduation finally came
    Uncle Sam called me away
    you married someone else while I was gone
    but I've kept your letter all these years
    and I can't help but shed a tear
    when I read the words you wrote me years ago

    Baby I'm yours
    I'll love you always
    I'm gonna stand by you until the end of time
    remember all of the good things that we shared together
    signed
    love Betty
    nineteen fifty nine

    I never will forget the day
    when you and I went all the way
    I was the first for you
    and you for me
    I've still got the truck that we loved in
    it takes me back there now and then
    back to fifty nine in my memory

    Repeat Chorus

    Man In Black
    Composer(s): Johnny Cash
    Originally performed by: Johnny Cash



    Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
    Why you never see bright colors on my back
    And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone
    Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on

    I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
    Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town
    I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
    But is there because he's a victim of the times

    I wear the black for those who never read
    Or listened to the words that Jesus said
    About the road to happiness through love and charity
    Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me

    Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose
    In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes
    But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
    Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black

    I wear it for the sick and lonely old
    For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold
    I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been
    Each week we lose a hundred fine young men

    And, I wear it for the thousands who have died
    Believen' that the Lord was on their side
    I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
    Believen' that we all were on their side

    Well, there's things that never will be right I know
    And things need changin' everywhere you go
    But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right
    You'll never see me wear a suit of white

    Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day
    And tell the world that everything's OK
    But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
    'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black

    1960
    Composer(s): Gerry Beckley
    Performer(s): America



    How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960
    I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall
    I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall

    How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble
    That was brewing in the Asian way
    I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A.

    In the city of the lost and found
    It's hard to get a break
    Hard to stop from getting turned around
    And make the same mistakes

    My reputation's on the line
    The final day of '59
    But like the sun, just watch me shine
    Today

    How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso
    I practiced 61 minutes a day
    I could never reach the keys
    But it was all OK

    How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother
    That could brighten up the darkest nights
    It's just another sign of love
    Whenever we would fight

    It's all the same twenty years ago
    As it is right now
    Like a tour at the closing show
    When I take my bow

    My reputation's on the line
    At the start of '79
    But like the sun, just watch me shine
    Today
    I've played this part so many times
    Since the end of '59
    But like the sun, just watch me shine
    Today

    Man Full Of Yesterdays
    Performer(s): David Byron



    He wanted to go to the sun
    He wanted to swim in the rain
    He waisted his time
    Drinking whisky and wine
    But now he's come back again

    He's tried so hard to forget
    What others would make him regret
    But if I were he I'd listen to me
    And keep myself in my head

    Keep myself in my head ...

    A man full of yesterdays
    Climbing the ladder once again
    But he can feel the strain
    He's got to make it through
    Forget the mistakes of his youth

    He's come back again ...

    A man full of yesterdays
    Climbing the ladder once again
    But he can feel the strain

    Composer(s): Piazzola; Borges
    Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



    Ya no sere felíz
    tal vez no importa
    hay tantas otras cosas
    en el mundo
    un instante cualquiera
    es mas profundo
    y diverso que el mar

    La vida es corta
    y aunque las horas son tan largas
    una oscura maravilla
    nos asecha
    la muerte, ese otro mar
    esa otra flecha
    que nos libra del sol
    y de la luna y del amor

    La dicha que me diste
    y me quitaste
    deben ser borradas
    lo que era todo tiene
    que ser nada
    solo me queda el goce
    de estar triste
    Esa vana costumbre
    que me inclina al sur
    a cierta puerta, a cierta esquina

    Man From Galilee
    Composer(s): Joe Isaacs
    Performer(s): Ralph Stanley



    Well do you know that man that rode on the mule
    Do you know that man that rode on the mule
    Do you know that man that rode on the mule
    He's the same man from down in Galilee
    He's the same man from down in Galilee

    Well do you know that man that walked on the water
    Do you you know that man that healed the leper man
    Do you know that man that rode on the mule
    He's the same man from down in Galilee
    He's the same man from down in Galilee

    I'm glad I know that man that walked on the water
    I'm glad I know that man that healed the leper man
    I'm glad I know that man that rode on the mule
    He's the same man from down in Galilee
    He's the same man from down in Galilee

    Well now he's a different man that walked on the water
    He's a different man that healed the leper man
    He's a different man that rode on the mule
    He's the same man from down in Galilee
    He's the same man from down in Galilee

    Well do you know that man that rode on the mule
    Do you know that man that rode on the mule
    Do you know that man that rode on the mule
    He's the same man from down in Galilee
    He's the same man from down in Galilee

    Well it's 1969 okay

    Man And Woman
    Composer(s): Jay Livingstone; Ray Evans
    Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney & Bing Crosby



    Both:
    A man or a woman, we all will agree
    To make life worth living is necessary

    Rosemary:
    A man is a creature we can’t overlook
    As easy to read as a page in a book
    He’ll boast and he’ll brag of the women he spurned
    But just like a doorknob his head can be turned

    Uh huh, (uh-huh), mm-mm, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh)

    A man oh a man any woman will say
    Whatever he is, we like him that way

    Bing:
    A woman is something both evil and good
    But too complicated to be understood
    An angel when loving, a devil when mad
    A woman can make you both happy and sad

    (Mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm

    A woman, a woman, oh what can she be
    Whatever she is, she’s necessary

    Rosemary:
    Complains that he’s henpecked and treated so bad
    But if he’s ignored, then he’ll holler like mad
    He knows all the methods of landing a fish
    But still can’t be trusted at drying a dish

    Uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm)
    A man, oh a man, any woman will say
    Whatever he is, we like him that way

    Bing:
    Afraid of a cricket, she’ll scream at a mouse
    But she’ll tackle a husband as big as a house
    She’ll take him for better, she’ll take him for worse
    She’ll bust his head open and then be his nurse

    (Uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-uh, (uh-huh),uh-huh

    Both:
    A man or a woman, we all will agree
    To make life worth living is necessary
